  • Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
  • Unlike the SAT, the ACT does not provide you with a list of basic math formulas to rely on at the beginning of the ACT math section. Unfortunately, you're still going to be tested on mathematical concepts that require the use of those formulas--so you better start memorizing! In this 17-minute video, our ACT expert Kat will give you an in-depth look at all math formulas you should commit to memory before you take the ACT. Download this printable PDF for the full list of math formulas commonly appearing on the test: act.magoosh.co...
    00:00 - Kat introduces herself and need to know math formulas
    00:16 - Will you be given a list of formulas on test day?
    00:42 - Finding the slope
    01:29 - Slope intercept
    02:19 - Quadratic formula
    03:27 - Imaginary numbers

    05:21 - Counting & probability
    07:31 - Geometry
    10:58 - Logarithms

    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.
