A guide to high-yield math topics worth drilling ahead of tests like the ACT — April 2024 (US) sitting. Use it to find the study topic behind the kinds of questions you miss, and re-drill them.
ACT Math Spring 2024 8 featured topics
Every ACT Math sitting draws on the same published ACT Math skill taxonomy. The featured topics below are high-yield skills from that taxonomy; each links to its study page so you can immediately drill the underlying skill.
Most students who stall on a test do so because of a small handful of weak topics — typically two or three categories. The pattern in your wrong answers is more important than your raw score, so look at which topics trip you up, not just how many you miss.
