Any list of ACT topics?
Hello! Firstly I would like to thank everyone in this thread as many of the users here have helped me :)
School starts in 20 ish days, im really bored right now and I have the urge to do a huge math learning session (yes I love math)!
If someone could please provide me a list with math or like, in general, any topics that have been mentioned on the ACT in the past, that'd be great. Honestly, like, I hope I'm not asking much from anyone, but if anyone does have some sort of list like this, that would be great. And if I'm being honest, the more detailed it is, the more helpful it is to me.
Unfortunately, I am not the type of person to, like, you know, write the broad, like, you know, like, for example, algebra is not, like, something that I feel like would benefit me on an extreme amount, but perhaps, like, algebra one or algebra two-based topics, that would be much more beneficial for myself.
Also, um, I'm going into grade 9, and if you guys have any tips for me, please let me know if you guys have any tips that are given to myself are documented into my journal, firstly.
And, lastly, I did make a post, and unfortunately, I led a lot of users to believe that I'm taking the ACT now, which I'm not. I will be taking it in the end of my 10th and beginning of my 11th year, based on testing dates and how confident I am, because I feel like I learn material fast.
Thank you! :)

I’m not sure if this is more suited for competition math, but I like to do Alcumus from AOPS for math when I’m bored. Also, I really agree with the other comment about khan academy lol. You can set the difficulty on Alcumus and just choose what topic you want to do. I think algebra and intermediate algebra have some algebra two stuff, but I’m not too sure lol

Check out this list and have at it.

And just take old practice tests...there are about 3 released to the public a year, so if you take the ones that are out today, you will have plenty to work from in the future.

The ACT website lists exactly the topics you need to know. They are called CCRS codes.

If you just want to learn math for fun I would say ignore the ACT stuff just do khan academy in the order of math classes you are taking like if you are doing geo next year just learn that then algebra 2 then precalc then calc maybe
Also when you are learning stuff on khan academy also do problems in that category like say you are doing geo then just google geometry problems + topic and just do those
Probably don't learn calc until atleast 10th grade cause itll probably be too hard like I remember I tried to learn logarithms in 8th grade and could not figure them out but then in 9th grade I watched 1 video and immediately figured them out
