Every few years, the ACT makes available to the public a previously administered test so that students, for free, can see and work through a real and authentic ACT test. This is called "Preparing for the ACT" (click here to access it).
This is a good resource. The problem is that the test only gives the student the answers to each question. That's fine and all, except students deserve some explanation for each question, either written or on video.
That's why, while we eagerly await the 2025-2026 version that reflect the ACT's upcoming changes (starting online in April 2025 and then for every test in September of 2025), I decided to begin working my way through this test on video to help students to understand why the correct answers are the way that they are.
A couple of months ago we tackled numbers 1-20, a few weeks ago it was numbers 21-40, and now, finally, this week we tackle numbers 41-60: the most difficult portion of the test.
As I've stated many times, many will falsely believe that the "new" ACT Math exam (which now only features 45 questions to be answered in 50 minutes) will be easier because it is shorter. I can tell you, absolutely definitively, that that will not be the case. At all. The ACT, remember, has to have its grades distributed on a bell curve, and an easier test would wreck that curve. Thus, these 20 questions are really important for the students looking to improve on the ACT Math test.
