#### Content of ACT Mathematics Test

The ACT Mathematics test questions are drawn from several areas. These content topics represent areas of mathematics commonly taught by the end of grade 11 that are important to success in entry-level college mathematics courses.

#### Test Taking Strategies for ACT Mathematics

The mathematics test is a 60-question, 60-minute test designed to assess the mathematical skills students have typically acquired in courses taken up to the beginning of grade 12. Most questions are self-contained. Some questions may belong to a set of several questions.

#### Imaginary Numbers on the ACT

Imaginary numbers were discovered or invented as a way to take the square root of a negative number. You can’t do that by real numbers. If you take the square root of -1, you get imaginary number i.

#### Right Triangles and Pythagorean Theorem

Out of all the ACT Math topics tested, the triangle is the most commonly tested Geometric shape. The Pythagorean Theorem and the properties of right triangles are especially tested.

#### Properties of Numbers: Factors, Multiples and Divisibility

Learning the basics of numbers and their properties is crucial for success on the ACT Math Test.

factor, or divisor, of a number is a positive integer that evenly divides into that number. For example, 4 is a factor of 12 because 12/4 is an integer, 3. All integers have 1 and themselves as factors. For example, there are six factors for the number 12 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.

#### Trigonometry

There are very few trigonometry questions on the ACT Mathematics Test. The questions test the basic trigonometric ratios which are related to right triangles.

#### Plane Geometry

Plane Geometry questions test plane geometry concepts such as Properties and Relations of Plane Figures.

Plane figures include Triangles; Circles; Rectangles; Parallelograms; Trapezoids; Angles, Parallel Lines, and Perpendicular Lines; Perimeter, Area, and Volume.

#### Coordinate Geometry

The Coordinate Geometry (Cartesian Coordinate Plane) questions test coordinate geometry concepts such as Number Line Graphs; Equation of a Line; Slope; Parallel and Perpendicular Lines; and Distance and Midpoint Formulas.

#### Intermediate Algebra

The Intermediate Algebra (ninth or tenth grade level) questions test intermediate algebraic concepts such as Quadratic Formula; Radical and Rational Expressions; Inequalities and Absolute Value Equations; Sequences; Systems of Equations; Logarithms; Roots of Polynomials; and Matrices.

#### Elementary Algebra

The Elementary Algebra (eighth or ninth grade level) questions test elementary algebraic concepts such as Functions; Polynomial Operations and Factoring Simple Quadratic Expressions; Linear Inequalities with One Variable; and Properties of Integer Exponents and Square Roots.

#### Pre-Algebra

The Pre-Algebra (seventh or eighth-grade level) questions test basic algebraic concepts such as operations Using Whole Numbers, Fractions, and Decimals; Square Roots; Exponents; Scientific Notation; Ratios, Proportions, and Percent; Linear Equations with One Variable; Absolute Value; and Simple Probability.
