Algebra Practice Questions
The math section requires you to have a solid understanding of Algebra 1 and a good understanding of Algebra 2. These Algebra questions, (called Heart of Algebra questions on the SAT test) cover topics like linear and quadratic inequalities, finding and interpreting slope and intercepts from equations, graphs, and applying algebraic concepts to real-world problems.
Numbers and Quantity Practice Problems
Called Numbers and Quantity on the ACT and Passport to Advanced Math on the SAT, these kinds of questions test your knowledge of central tendency and distribution (mean, median, mode, range), your ability to manipulate expressions and equations, understand factoring, greatest common factor, and least common multiple, and more.
Watch and solve the numbers and quantity practice questions:
Geometry Practice Questions
There are more geometry problems on the ACT than the SAT, but both tests cover this topic. The SAT frequently combines multiple geometry concepts into one question in context. The ACT tends to breakout topics into different questions, but you may still need to combine concepts for some questions. Examples of concepts covered on this section include knowledge of right triangles and ability to apply trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent) to solve for missing values, computing perimeter and area of polygons and circumference and area of circles, and understanding the trigonometry of the unit circle and basic trig identities to solve problems involving radians and angle measures.
Practice these geometry math problems to hone your geometry skills:
Statistics and Probability Practice Problems
Called Statistics and Probability on the ACT and Problem Solving and Data Analysis on the SAT, these questions test your ability to compute probabilities of an event, its complement, and combinations (conditional and joint probability) in context, refer to data, charts, frequency tables, and graphs to interpret information, and more.
