Let's be 100% honest, we all know that standardize tests can be very scary and that is ok they are designed to be scary. However there are techniques and utilizing critical thinking skills can help you do well. This course is going to go over 5 different techniques that can help you take the math section of the ACT Test (and honestly any test). Each lesson will focus one technique at a time with practice. I'm a huge fan of the "see one, do one, teach one" model for this type of subject matter.

We all know that standardized testing can be scary. And in full disclosure I, myself was never really good at taking standardized tests. Until I got older and acquired more education I learned different tricks on how to take standardized tests. I am currently a high school math teacher and have been for the last five years. I've taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2/Trig. Reviews
