Directions
After reading each question, solve each problem, and then choose the best answer from the choices given
(Remember, the ACT Math Test is different from all the other tests in that each math question contains five
answer choices.) When you are taking the official ACT, make sure you carefully fill in the appropriate bub-ble on the answer document
You may use a calculator for any problem, but many problems are done more quickly and easily with-out one
Unless directions tell you otherwise, assume the following:
■ figures may not be drawn to scale
■ geometric figures lie in a plane
■ “line” refers to a straight line
■ “average” refers to the arithmetic mean
Remember, the questions get harder as the test goes on You may want to consider this fact as you pace yourself
