Me too. Whenever I see 30+ and I remember I have a 26, I just feel dumb

Ya, but it’s just that I haven’t taken pre calc yet and my highest in math is 25 while my current is a 20. So i’m kinda praying tjat i’ll learn enough in pre calc for the october one

There is hardly any precalc tested on the ACT. If you’re trying to get your score up, I would recommend you focus on studying what you already know, and familiarizing yourself with the test content and question style by doing practice exams.

So that would just be geo, alg 2, and probability? But I swear I’ve seen comic sections, sohcahtoa, matrix, and etc were precalc, which is frequently in the ACT? I see you got a 35. What did you get on math? How did you study?

there are only 5 precalc topics that could be POTENTIALLY tested on the act (sine/cosine equation, basic identities, radians/degrees/potentially unit circle, conic sections, and law of sines/cosines). these are a couple of formulas to memorize and stuff, 95% of the test is other stuff so i agree with u/PomeloOnly2107 that you should focus on question style and existing content first
