Hi! For the first one, I would just do 64 (wearing both of the colors), minus 45 (students all together), which is 19. I know that you could do different things (because there’s quite a few things you can do, as you said), but I feel like your way is breaking it down when it’s already stable. If that makes sense… like, since there’s a time limit with BOTH the ACT and the SAT, making videos of the QUICKEST way to do each and every single question, is better and more efficient than THIS way. Not to be rude! I’m actually quite sad that the optional essay is no longer a thing… because, I’ve always been an exceptional writer! I’m 24, can’t drive because of a car accident from my coworker driving us three to a kids birthday party, dressed as princesses (the longest sentence…), and I REALLY want to go to MSU… I really want to do the ACT though, since I have to, according to MSU, and I have the most extensive book about the ACT… The hardest thing to do in my eyes, is reading it on my own time… anyways, have a great day. 😂🫣

9:12 There’s no way this could be on an ACT. They can’t expect everyone to know how many cards are in a deck.

[@kingklaus2115]

Either way the rest of the questions were helpful.

[@ummulwarazarashaikh9881]

hey i was taking a practice test and I personally didn't know how many cards were in a deck. usually they will have note or something to lyk

[@kingklaus2115]

@@ummulwarazarashaikh9881 That's fair. I think I remember one or two questions with some sort of extra reference. How well did you do on your practice exams?

[@JaniahThornton]

It's always 52 cards in a deck! Jus something you've gotta know prior to. I learned about it in pre-cal

[@uncucumberless]

They could, but they would probably just tell you the number of cards in a deck on the side

[@ethanacton408]

The card question is so frustrating. I got many of these question and lost out on points because i was too busy studying rather then playing with a deck of cards

[@siddsensharma]

For the complex numbers question, rationalising the denominator, as is usually done with surds would be a much faster method. i can be expressed as a surd in the form sqrt(-1). As such, simply multiply both sides of the expression by (i+2) to get rid of the complex denominator. Using difference of squares, you'd be left with (1+3i)(i+2)/(-5), expand and simplify to get option B.

What are conversions that we should know for the act? Like miles to km...

[@5Academy]

I don't exactly have a list. Just memorize them as you see them on ptests!

[@akkamal6999]

e to the power idk. damn

[@sunniedau6691]

in the arithmetic sequence question u said that they can either ask that with arithmetic or geometric so what would the answer be if the question is geometric?

[@neerajjoshi8395]

For that arithmetic sequence question, if the number of terms is even, is the difference between mean and median 1? The median would be a .5 and it just rounds up right?

[@5Academy]

Good point! But we aren't told we need to round

Bc 5^4 is 625 he just already knew what the smallest exponent was

he's trying to turn 625 into a base value of 5 with an exponent so that he can simplify, he also knows 5^4 = 625 lol

Arithmetic sequence problem with 2401 terms: If mean = median, isn't the difference 0?

[@mazenkhayat9309]

i can solve q2 by the calculator in the exam

[@StormAzdia]

I feel like if you did Modifying averages more simpler like just plugging in the percentages and seeing that neither of them would bring the average up to 90 percent and it would be too high for us to know would be less confusing , I didn’t understand the way you did it cause then in the test I would feel like double guessing myself and might pick the wrong answer cause of me spending my time double guessing myself.

no the average is 21. a good score is like 24-30. 30-36 most colleges accept you. But its ok because most of the stuff on the act you dont learn till your end of your 11th grade year. but you can still start now to learn different things. good luck bro

How do you get the 13 on the first question?

[@scameron.1759]

45 people total, 32 wearing red, 32 wearing blue, 45 - 32 = 13 people who are not wearing red, do the same for blue and subtract both the diffrences from 45, so 45 - 13 - 13 = 19.

the 3 miles are already cubed, so you need to convert the 1.6km into its cubed value which is something around 4, then you can just multiply them and get something around 12.
