Preparing for the ACT 2024 - Math Part I

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.

The ACT offers old practice tests for free, updating with a new test every few years.

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.


Some might object; why work through an old ACT test when the ACT is making, beginning in April 2025, changes (which include a shorter English test, a shorter Math test, and no Science test at all, to name a few major changes)? Well, it's because the ACT's stance is that while these characteristics might change, the substance (what is required from students, knowledge and skill wise) will not, and thus using old ACT's is still a great way to prepare.
