I didn't study for the ACT and just used these videos like right before and I got a 31 lol thanks Edit 8 years later: every year around ACT season I get responses on this super braggy comment from when I was such an obnoxious 17 year old. What I did not include in this comment was that I had done soo much SAT prep and it kinda transferred over. Was VERY trained to be good at test taking. These videos kinda helped me learn the slightly diff strat for the ACT but yeah I had gotten a LOT of testing practice. Idk. This vid def helped me but my point is don’t believe everyone’s bullshit on the internet. Study hard tho!! You can also get super good at test taking!! Do your best!! It’s important and SUPER worth it!! Just don’t feel dumb if KZbin videos don’t solve all your problems. You got this!!! -25 year old me

Thing is, I'm not smart at all. It was suggested that I participate in below average courses, but this aggravated me so I decided to move all the way up to advanced and honors classes. I've had plenty of success in school and have been on the honor roll for 7 straight quarters all from sheer, grueling hard work. Although I am proud of how hard I work and my grades, it doesn't change the fact that I am not smart. I think it's a damn shame colleges mostly look at test results rather than the number of restless nights I've spent working on homework that took my peers only a couple of hours. Now on the brink of insanity, my only wish is that my future is worth my hard work.

But you have the determination and will to do it, I'm pretty smart I guess, but I know if I tried I could definitely get around the 30s on the act, but I'm too lazy to study so I'm probably gonna end up getting like 20. Motivation I think is so much more important than being smart already, no one is truly smart, you have to work for it, I wish I had motivation and will to study but I just can't get myself to sit and just study

Another quick way to solve the marble question would be to take 1 - 1/3 - 1/4 - 1/6 = 1/4. Since 21 marbles make up 1/4 of the marbles, the total number of marbles is 21x4 = 84.

For the marbles question, I think it'd be most time efficient to do in a single calculator operation: 21/(1 - 0.333 - 0.25 - 0.167) (since it gets awkward using tons of parentheses I just rounded the fractions). I definitely agree with using the answer choices for the first question, though.
@BestACTPreporgChampaign
@BestACTPreporgChampaign 9 жыл бұрын
That's a great idea! I guess the answer choices would just be a better choice if a student didn't think of your method. Also, you wouldn't need to use parentheses for the calculator, so it wouldn't be that bad. I just put them in the video to show the groupings better. Thanks for the comment!

personally, for the fraction one, it would have been easier to add all the fractions together (3/4) and now we know that the yellow are 1/4 of the bag (because the entire bag should equal 1, and 1-3/4=1/4), so 21 = 1/4, so 21*4 is your answer. the guess and check method would have killed me because I suck at multiplying fractions, especially without a calculator. So basically the long way without the X, the X makes everything more confusing.

Please let me know if this is correct. So for question 2, the word problem is trying to see how many total marbles are in the bag. We started with C's answer choice as your tip suggested, and found that 72 was lower compared to the resulting 75 (after doing the math). Since 75 was bigger than 72, that let's you know that if 72 is too low compared to 75, then that is definitely not the total marbles found in the bag. So we move on to answer choices D and E. We start with D, which is 84. After doing the math, the resulting total after plugging in the 84 was 84. "Like equaled to Like". That means in math terms that this answer choice is a true statement. Now if the resulting answer after plugging in another number that is answer choice C, and that resulting number was too low (or makes the statement untrue) when compared to the actual number that was answer choice C then we know to go to answer choices A & B. If you start with answer choice A, and after doing the math you discovered that that Answer choice was correct (being that the resulting # was the same number as answer choice A) that means we've gotten: "Like equaled to Like". Making it a true statement. So the overall aim when plugging in an answer choice into a question's equation is to see if you get "Like equaled to Like", making it a true statement. Am I correct? I hope so because I plan to exercise this strategy when I take ACT test this Saturday. I don't want to get the wrong answers just because of poor understanding. Thank you for these videos! These are wonderful! I feel I'll get a 31 on the math test now!

I am also. Don’t worry. It’s a very easy test, ACT just wants you to think it’s hard. Don’t overthink it, that’s where most fall short. And once you know where you stand on the math, you can skim around and do the problems you know rather then attempt the ones you don’t. It’s all about the amount you get right, not the difficulty. Good luck to you, my goal is to also shoot 8 points.
