During this course we’ll review 50 main mathematical concepts as well as test taking tips, tricks and strategies. In class students will learn about 3 types of ACT science passages and best approaches in tackling each types of passage.

Each week students will review 3-4 mathematical concepts and learn various tricks that will help them solve these problems faster. Students will also have the opportunity to analyze a science passage before answering related multiple choice questions. Then we will review common mistakes and misconceptions about ACT test and how to avoid falling for “trick” questions.
