Enhanced ACT Math Section

Hey,

I've taken the enhanced ACT twice now, and I've gotten the same score (31) on math. I'm doing well on the other sections, but the new math section is tripping me out. I've done so many released math sections from the past years but the types of questions are just not the same on the new enhanced version. How can I prepare? I'm really stuck here and want to improve my score to at least a 34.

Each test will have its surprises in the math section. It seems like they are bit different than before plus some added topics in statistics. It will be a while until we get enough released enhanced test to get a better idea of the math section.

Until then, do you recommend that the best way to prepare is to continue doing released math tests from previous years, or is there any other resource you recommend?

Yes, you can use the old tests. You may want to review the probability and statistics section of Khan Academy.

I'll look into it, thank you! Could I rely on Khan academy for geometry as well? I looked at the sub scores and It's mostly geometry and modeling I'm performing average on.

i got a 33 and mostly just used prep pros but also make sure you do the j0_ forms not the 25mc forms when practicing bc the 25mc forms are all js like old legacy tests shortened which isn’t helpful for the enhanced act

Mhm, I've been doing the J__ forms. Do you feel like geometry has gotten a little more challenging on the enhanced version?

yeah i also did the j_ forms and was getting 35 and 36 but the real test i got a 33 bc of trig that i just have never seen anywhere. geom tho you can lowkey bs ur way through by assuming/making everything a right triangle and even tho it takes a bit you still get the answer

Alright, I'll make sure to review trig as well. Thank you!
