The ACT Math exam has some really tricky, weird, and challenging problems. From finding square roots of negative numbers, to finding the probability of guessing every question on an exam correctly (yes, I've seen both), the test throws everything and anything at you.
This video aims to provide insight on a variety of ESSENTIAL ACT Math skills, in the form of the hardest problems you could see that actually test those skills.
If you can get at least a few of these right, know that you're on the right track to improving your math score. Now, you just need to keep practicing with the exams linked below, and work on reviewing mistakes. Good luck!!!

Hi! For the first one, I would just do 64 (wearing both of the colors), minus 45 (students all together), which is 19. I know that you could do different things (because there’s quite a few things you can do, as you said), but I feel like your way is breaking it down when it’s already stable. If that makes sense… like, since there’s a time limit with BOTH the ACT and the SAT, making videos of the QUICKEST way to do each and every single question, is better and more efficient than THIS way. Not to be rude! I’m actually quite sad that the optional essay is no longer a thing… because, I’ve always been an exceptional writer! I’m 24, can’t drive because of a car accident from my coworker driving us three to a kids birthday party, dressed as princesses (the longest sentence…), and I REALLY want to go to MSU… I really want to do the ACT though, since I have to, according to MSU, and I have the most extensive book about the ACT… The hardest thing to do in my eyes, is reading it on my own time… anyways, have a great day. 😂🫣

For the complex numbers question, rationalising the denominator, as is usually done with surds would be a much faster method. i can be expressed as a surd in the form sqrt(-1). As such, simply multiply both sides of the expression by (i+2) to get rid of the complex denominator. Using difference of squares, you'd be left with (1+3i)(i+2)/(-5), expand and simplify to get option B.

I feel like if you did Modifying averages more simpler like just plugging in the percentages and seeing that neither of them would bring the average up to 90 percent and it would be too high for us to know would be less confusing , I didn’t understand the way you did it cause then in the test I would feel like double guessing myself and might pick the wrong answer cause of me spending my time double guessing myself.
