On approaching ACT math
questions:
1. Understand: Focus on the question stem and think to
yourself, "What kind of question is this? What am I looking for?
What am I given?"
2. Analyze: Don't start crunching numbers until you've given
the problem a little thought. Look for patterns and shortcuts.
Ask yourself, "What's a quick and reliable way to find the
correct answer?"
3. Select: Once you get an answer—or once you get stuck—check
the answer choices. If your answer is listed, fill in the bubble
and move on. If it's not, narrow down the choices as best you can
by a process of elimination and then guess.
