Study Notes
ACT Mathematics Section Preparation Study
Research suggests that while test preparation has a small but positive impact on standardized test scores, the effectiveness varies depending on factors such as socioeconomic status and the type of preparation activity. Different methods of preparation, including self-paced, in-person instruction, and other types, relate differently to ACT composite scores. However, the study found no significant effects of test preparation on ACT composite scores when considering family income or year of testing. Additionally, the number of times tested affected ACT scores, with first-time test-takers scoring higher in self-paced activities than those who didn't engage in test preparation activities.
To improve your math preparation for the ACT, you might benefit from a combination of self-guided study and classroom instruction. Practicing alongside peers and professional instructors can enhance your mathematical knowledge and problem-solving abilities. Utilizing resources specifically geared towards the ACT mathematics section, such as official guides and practice tests, can further optimize your preparation efforts. Remember to manage your time effectively and stay updated on the latest exam requirements.
