200 Challenging ACT Math Problems - Paperback

by Art Cockerham (Author)

You can get a pretty good ACT Math score by getting most of the test questions correct. But if you want to get an exceptional score, one that sets you apart from the other very good math students who are also taking the test, you need to master the difficult math concepts that appear at the end of the test. This book can help you do that Inside, you'll find 200 problems designed to mimic the problems that appear in the final quarter of the ACT Math test. The problems test all three types of problems you'll see on test day. *Pre-Algebra & Elementary Algebra *Intermediate Algebra & Coordinate Geometry *Plane Geometry & Trigonometry You'll work on problems that contain easier concepts, like averages, that are asked in clever ways that make the problems more difficult. You'll also work on the more advanced topics that students are taught in a Pre-Calculus or Trigonometry class. Along with the problems, you get fully worked-out solutions.
