English, Writing, science/Biology and History NO PROBLEM.
My only issue was Math....

[alexisnorthup]

THANK YOU I'm taking the ACT in 12 hours and I'm so nervous, this helped me gain a little more confidence in myself, especially since I'm really bad at math

[montressmagee]

Can you do a practice test explaining how to use each formula

[samuelborges]

11:00 you could have mentioned some of the logarithmic proporties, like adding or subtructing logs, which are important to know

[britanysteward]

This was extremely helpful! Thank you so much! I’ve been banging my head trying to find which formulas I need to memorize for sure cause there’s so many! Ty ty!

[izuke_heaven_zoro]

That really helped me to be prepare for my ACT test.thank you for your help proud of you...I am going to take the ACT test in next year's.

[brucedienst]

one thing I've noticed though is that they'll sometimes give you the necessary formula. For example, there was a triangle problem, and the law of cosines was given.

[emilyvoyles]

Yea I’m just gonna accept that I won’t get a good score

[lblackwood]

8:57 It should be 28.27 because you have to multiply 9 and 3.14 which is the pi symbol

[Paigeb]

Trying to memorize all the volumes is so hard

[Coquetteowo]

dreading it already so I’m watching videos to prepare me

[lblackwood]

9:26 The answer should be 18.85. You multiply 2 times pi(3.141) times 3 which gives you 18.85

some old hippie caught another hippie tripping on acid, my teacher taught me this and I never forget soh cah toa

[Luhchristian]

I’m so scared and I take it October 28th

[blakewogoman]

[sudebayar]

math is ok but reading gives me literally anxiety :(

[milanlockett]

AH! I have mine tomorrow. I have barely studied. I mean I did on and off SAT prep and went to ACT/SAT prep over my recent spring break. I need to pass the math section with a 16 >0<PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ancestors in heaven...I know that isn't the best place and time to ask for your help and power....but maybe if I post my prayer online, maybe it might get answered? I really need you alls help. This is the only thing that I need to graduate. LITERALLY! So please please please PLEASE help sorry for the rant) but anyone else in the same position, taking theirs tomorrow, March 28th, 2023?? If so, we've got this!!

Edit: I just took my test!! I really confident that I got more than a 16 on my math!!!! LETS SEE THESE RESULTS IN 2 to 3 WEEKS!!

Edit (4/12/2022): Still haven't gotten my score yet....we are on week 2 of waiting..the scores should be back this week or next week....Fighting!!

Edit (01/11/2023)
At the end of the story, I ended up graduating, magna cum laude. I got a passing score for my Math EOC. I took both the ACT and SAT to see if I can get a passing score to substitute for my Math EOC...I dont remember if I got a passing math score for that...All I have to say is..You HAVE to put in the work...STUDY STUDY STUDY...and the lady that is showing you all the formulas for the ACT is correct..for me they did show up on the test..not all but a majority...tip#1: write all the formulas that you remember/studied on the table before the test starts or repeat them to yourself REPEATEDLY..it helps (at least for me..its like your own personal formula sheet??) Tip #2 READ THE QUESTIONS CAREFULLY (but keep in mind time) BREAK DOWN THE QUESTION INTO PIECES (its easier to bite into a cake in little bits than as a whole right?)

Taking ACT in SIX HOURS!!! I know everything besides the sphere and cone formulas. Wish me luck boys. 🫡
