Today I\u2019m going to talk about something I know you&#8217;ve avoided exploring for some time: ACT math topics. The <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/perfect-36-act-math-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ACT Math<\/a> section can be scary. All those ACT Math concepts to learn&#8230;Seriously, if I had to take the ACT Math test right this minute, I would freak out.<\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t let my first reaction scare you. It doesn\u2019t mean I can\u2019t guide you through the test\u2019s content. Just don\u2019t ask me how to do any of it, and we\u2019ll be fine. In this article, I&#8217;ll explore the 5 most frequently tested <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/act-math\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ACT Math<\/a> concepts and the topics they cover. I&#8217;ll also provide you with tons of resource links to help you expand your mathematical knowledge. <\/p>\n<p>A quick disclaimer: <strong>This list does not cover <a>trigonometry<\/a> questions<\/strong>. If you want to know the basics, this is the article for you. If you\u2019re shooting for a <a>36<\/a>, please check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/act-trigonometry\/\">trig posts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, all other ACT Math concepts fall into one of five categories:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Pre-Algebra<\/li>\n<li>Elementary Algebra<\/li>\n<li>Intermediate Algebra<\/li>\n<li>Plane Geometry<\/li>\n<li>Coordinate Geometry<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a closer look at the topics that fall under each of these math concepts.<\/p>\n<h2>Pre-Algebra<\/h2>\n<p>As the prefix \u2018Pre\u2019 implies, Pre-Algebra questions are\u00a0the most basic (and easiest) of all ACT Math topics. As questions go from easy\u00a0to hard\u00a0on the test, you\u2019ll see these questions first. Here are a few topics Pre-Algebra questions require you to know:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Multiplication and division<\/li>\n<li>The difference between mean, median, and mode<\/li>\n<li>Fractions, percentages, and decimals<\/li>\n<li>Probability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This topic may seem easy at first glance, but don\u2019t become overconfident. Practice these \u2018easy\u2019 questions &#8211; like this probability one below &#8211; to make sure there are no gaps in your knowledge.<\/p>\n<p><a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/files\/2016\/03\/probability-600x258.png\" alt=\"ACT math topics probability\" width=\"600\" height=\"258\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/files\/2016\/03\/probability-600x258.png 600w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/files\/2016\/03\/probability-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/files\/2016\/03\/probability.png 754w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Elementary Algebra<\/h2>\n<p>Things are starting to get a little bit harder now. The ACT Math test switches from Pre-Algebra to Algebra questions when it asks you to substitute values. Though you may not see an \u2018x\u2019 in the problem, substitution and plugging in numbers to solve equations define Elementary Algebra questions.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some other Elementary Algebra concepts that you will definitely need to know for ACT Math:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Factoring and Unfactoring<\/li>\n<li>Turning word problems into equations before solving them.<\/li>\n<li>Inequalities<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/sat\/sat-math-basics-foil-method-3\/\">Multiplying Binomials (FOIL-ing)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/files\/2016\/03\/FoilMethod-600x435.png\" alt=\"ACT math topics FOIL method\" width=\"600\" height=\"435\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/files\/2016\/03\/FoilMethod-600x435.png 600w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/files\/2016\/03\/FoilMethod-300x218.png 300w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/files\/2016\/03\/FoilMethod-768x557.png 768w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/files\/2016\/03\/FoilMethod.png 1412w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Intermediate Algebra<\/h2>\n<p>These questions will be some of the hardest (and most time consuming) questions on the test. You won\u2019t see any Intermediate Algebra word problems. These questions will test you on the following concepts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Quadratic Equations (and the quadratic formula)<\/li>\n<li>Systems of Equations<\/li>\n<li>Functions (and Compound Functions)<\/li>\n<li>Logarithms<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/matrices-on-the-act\/\">Matrices<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Start learning these even before <a href=\"http:\/\/www.act.org\/content\/act\/en\/register.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">registering<\/a> for the ACT test!

As nearly a full quarter of ACT Math questions on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.act.org\/content\/act\/en\/about-act.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official test<\/a> are Plane Geometry questions, it\u2019s essential to know the following ACT math topics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Basic Vocab: Line, Line Segment, Ray, Midpoint, Bisect<\/li>\n<li>Isosceles, Right, and Equilateral Triangles<\/li>\n<li>Pythagorean Theorem<\/li>\n<li>Special Right Triangles<\/li>\n<li>Area of Triangles and Polygons<\/li>\n<li>Finding the Area of Circles and Squares<\/li>\n<li>Measuring Volume<\/li>\n<li>Diagonal Length<\/li>\n<li>Rectangles and Parallelograms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Again, even though these are the \u2018easier\u2019 topics, make sure you know them all. Though it\u2019s understandable to miss a really hard question, it\u2019d be a shame to miss an easy one.
