@@livexlivie9948 Hi! I typically tutor each student for 1-3 hours a week and I assign homework after each session.

I came from tiktok and I wanna thank you so much because this is by far the most helpful and practical math act video and I've watched soo so so many.

I have a 30 math score right now and I just can't seem to increase it, but I'll definitely use your tips and watch every one of your future math videos. Please keep up the good work and make more ACT math videos if you can!!!

Hi! I’m super glad you stumbled upon my TikTok and you’re here! Yes, exactly, school math really doesn’t teach you what math truly is and makes it hard to even understand how it works.

heyy...you might already know this, but here's a tip to everyone for the last question, to find the angle of the exterior angle, it'll just be the sum of the opposite 2 interior angles...so here 20+125=145 and all those steps were not actually required...and also thank you so much for video, i actually saved a lot of time for the highest common factor question

Notes I took! 📝 -For GCF, use the L method of finding common factors and dividing them. The multiply together all the numbers and that is your answer! -Special right triangles have all sides of whole numbers no rad -Special right triangles: 3-4-5 and 5-12-13 and 7-24-25 and 9-40-41 -Remember, the last 2 numbers of the special right triangle are always 1 apart! -How to find special right triangle? Square the smallest number. Then divide it by 2 and it should be a decimal point (ex: 4.5) you will then want to go to the nearest whole numbers on either side of that number. (ex: 4, 5) -Problems on the SAT/ACT don't take long to solve, so if you see an absurd number like 117, there is almost always some trick to solve it hastily. -Make tables -Simplify as much as you can and leave calculations till the end! Good luck to the people reading this, I hope you get a perfect ACT/SAT score!

[@diyaanddarshhere8233]

in the triangle question we can use exterior angle theorem which states that the exterior angle is sum of the opposite interior angles btw great tips ^-^

Is it not quicker to use the rule ext angles of triangles and take 125 + 20 straight away

[@wamyy5]

Happy to help! And yes, exactly - you can do the external angles thing. I just want to emphasize that we shouldn't rely on memorizing relationships/formulas and want to show what can happen if you use my method. You'll discover the relationships/formulas yourself!

Actually the bonus problem can be solved in a much easier way because we know the sum of angles of a triangle is 180 and the angle of a straight line is also 180. So just add the given 2 angles in your head and you'll get the answer But thanks for all the other tips

ngl these solutions took me longer than just doing them

[@emileepini2311]

It probably just depends on what you’re used to. Learning a new way to do something will take you longer at first because you must learn the new way. If you practice it, it will likely take you much less time than the way that you’re used to. Im guessing that you’re only faster at doing it the other way because you’ve practiced it a ton with your math homework or whatever. But if you practice Amy’s way as much as you did the old way, you’ll likely be faster with Amy’s way. Just a hunch. I could be wrong.
