Overview

The revised third edition of this hands-on workbook presents exercises, math problems, sample science passages, and quizzes with answers and detailed solutions as it takes college-bound students through all the math and science requirements for the ACT test. Separate math chapters provide a complete review of the ACT Math test, including:
  • Pre-algebra, elementary algebra, and intermediate algebra
  • Plane geometry, coordinate geometry, and trigonometry

The science sections emphasize the scientific method, the analysis of tables and graphs, and the technique for reading scientific passages. A four-step drill is introduced to help students with ACT Science test questions. This edition reviews the three types of passages covered on the ACT Science test:
  • Data representation passages
  • Research summaries passages
  • Conflicting viewpoints passages

Additional features include a glossary of math formulas and science terms as well as test-taking strategies for success. The workbook concludes with a comprehensive math practice test as well as a comprehensive science practice test.
