In today’s competitive world of college admissions, performance on standardized tests like the ACT has become more important than ever. As the sheer volume of applications continues to soar, admissions officers increasingly look to ACT and SAT scores as a quick gauge of each applicant’s competitiveness. In addition, the world of merit-based scholarships is almost entirely fueled by ACT and SAT scores; many schools go so far as to publish ACT/SAT “cutoffs” for each of their scholarships. In short, ACT prep is a good investment for nearly any student.
That’s where we come in. Study By App, in conjunction with the experts at Ivy Bound Test Prep, has produced a powerful tool for students who want to maximize their scores on the Mathematics portion of the ACT. In addition to algebra and geometry, the ACT tests math as advanced as trigonometry and pre-calculus. Plus, the test itself is very fast-paced: students are asked to solve these high-level math problems at a rate of one question per minute!
Fortunately for well-prepared students, the ACT is very consistent in the types of questions it asks. Using materials released by the test maker itself, Ivy Bound’s team of Ivy League-educated developers has reverse-engineered the test and created a bank of five hundred problems that simulate the medium- and high-level questions most likely to appear on test day. Questions are organized into the following units: Advanced Topics, Algebraic Manipulation, Calculator Tricks (for TI-83 and TI-84 series calculators), Coordinate Geometry, Geometry, Interpreting Word Problems, Pre-Algebra & Algebra, and Sets, Combinations, & Probability. Each question is accompanied by an insightful, strategy-packed explanation, and each unit is accompanied by an audio lecture narrated by Papa Chakravarthy, a Harvard undergraduate and winner of the 2006 Jeopardy! Teen Tournament.
We know that the ACT is a formidable test. However, we at Study By App and Ivy Bound know that it can be beaten. Our app allows students to track both their progress and their time spent per question, all while honing their problem-solving skills and building familiarity with the Mathematics portion of the ACT. We’re here to help you take control of your learning. Get ready to crush the ACT.
ACT Math App Development:
This application was developed in conjunction with Ivy Bound Test Prep, a small, U.S.A.-based company that has been helping students worldwide prepare for the ACT, SAT, LSAT, and SAT Subject Tests for over 10 years. Ivy Bound instructors teach students in classes, in private face-to-face tutoring, and online.
