ACT

Enhanced ACT / English / Math / Reading

Learn the trick, not the topic.

Every question in the bank carries the name of the shortcut that cracks it. You drill the shortcut rather than the chapter, the app tracks how well you know each one by name, and the worked solution shows what the same question costs without it.

One question, two ways

If x+34+x−12=7\frac{x + 3}{4} + \frac{x - 1}{2} = 7, what is xx?

  1. A. 3
  2. B. 5
  3. C. 7
  4. D. 9

The long way

  1. Multiply every term by 4 to clear the denominators.
  2. x+3+2x−2=28x + 3 + 2x - 2 = 28.
  3. 3x+1=283x + 1 = 28, so 3x=273x = 27.
  4. x=9x = 9. Now go back and find 9 among the choices.

Backsolving

  1. Start at B, never the middle. 55 gives 44, which is too small.
  2. Too small kills A as well. Test C. 77 gives 5.55.5, still too small.
  3. D is the only choice left. Answer it without testing it.

35 to 50 seconds saved

Backsolving is one of the named techniques in the bank. The range is the one its author recorded, and it applies whenever the four choices are plain numbers.

What it does

  • 01

    Diagnostic

    One sitting on the first login sets the baseline. Nothing is inferred from a score you half remember.

  • 02

    A plan sized to the date

    You set the test date and the minutes you have each day. The plan is built from both and re-paced whenever either changes.

  • 03

    The mastery wall

    Every technique in the bank, shaded by how well you know it today. A technique full of slow correct answers plateaus and never masters, which is the signal worth seeing.

  • 04

    A predicted composite

    English, Math, and Reading, the three sections the enhanced composite is built from. It moves as you improve.

  • 05

    A weekly email

    One report a week to a parent's address, saying what moved and what did not. No account for them to make.

No score is shown until fifteen timed answers exist in a section, and only a range until forty.

A precise number out of thin data is a lie you would plan around, so the app declines to print one. The range narrows as the evidence arrives.
