This ACT Math Crash Course provides a strategic overview of unique math topics that appear on the ACT, ensuring students can maximize their efficiency on test day. Unlike the SAT, the ACT tests a broader range of concepts, but many appear infrequently. This video walks through the most test-relevant topics, including:

  • Patterns & Sequences (arithmetic & geometric)

  • Complex Numbers (imaginary numbers, operations with "i")

  • Absolute Value (equations & graphing tricks)

  • Asymptotes & Functions (vertical, horizontal, and slant)

  • Combinations & Permutations (when order matters vs. when it doesn’t)

  • Logarithms (converting between logs & exponents)

  • Matrices (addition, subtraction, determinants & why multiplication isn't worth stressing over)

The lesson prioritizes efficient problem-solving techniques, quick formula applications, and calculator tricks to simplify difficult-looking problems. By the end, students will be able to quickly recognize and confidently tackle these ACT-specific math questions with ease. 🚀
