Learn About ACT Maths

The Math section is one of the four main multiple-choice sections of the ACT, designed to measure the math skills students are typically expected to have learned by the beginning of grade 12. The test consists of 60 questions to be completed in 60 minutes, emphasizing both speed and accuracy.

The content covers a wide range of mathematical topics, including Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry. Unlike tests that focus primarily on reasoning, ACT Math directly assesses your ability to apply mathematical knowledge, a critical skill for success in college-level coursework.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

ACT Maths

How is ACT Math different from SAT Math?

ACT Math covers a broader range of topics, with more questions on Geometry and Trigonometry. The biggest challenge in ACT Math is time pressure — you have an average of just 60 seconds per question.

Can I use a calculator?

Yes, you are allowed to use an approved calculator throughout the entire ACT Math section. Knowing how to use your calculator effectively is an important part of your test-taking strategy.

Does the ACT provide a formula sheet like the SAT?

No, unlike the SAT, the ACT does not provide a list of formulas. You are expected to memorize key formulas in Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry.

How does Intertu help students manage time pressure?

Our prep program places a strong focus on speed and efficiency. We teach strategies to solve common problem types quickly, techniques for educated guessing, and ways to self-monitor pacing. Timed practice with full-length sections is a core part of our program.

What is considered a good ACT Math score?

Scores range from 1 to 36.

For highly competitive STEM and business programs, a score of 30 or higher is considered very strong.

For most selective universities, a high 20s score (e.g., 27+) is a solid benchmark.

How is tuition for ACT Math courses at Intertu calculated?

Tuition depends on the total number of study hours and the level of support service (Standard, Premium, Platinum) you choose. For a detailed quote, please contact Intertu Education’s advisory team directly.
