The Guide to ACT Math: Skip the Prep Courses [Print Replica] Kindle Edition
Are your scores stuck? Are you preparing to take the ACT test for the first time and you don't know where to start? Forget the idea that the ACT Math is just "something you can't improve on." This book is the blueprint for YOUR ACT prep success.
It's a workbook, prep course, and a math review all in one
Whether the test is tomorrow and you need a crash course or months from now and you need a review, the book will help! This step-by-step guide covers every math topic on the ACT. The book can tell you what you need to cover, what strategies to use, and how you will succeed.
How is this book different? It's designed to be a replacement for prep courses. Every topic in the book is connected to others through links--to allow you to easily jump between skills. You'll find videos on every topic, and really specific, concentrated practice problems with incredibly detailed explanations. Not only that, it features more content, and a lot more problems, than most online courses.
It's the most comprehensive ACT Math book available, devoting more time and more examples to each topic than any other. Not only that, but it doesn't read like a textbook. Skip the dense black and white blocks of text and equations. This book is colorful, full of diagrams, and thought bubbles to allow you to clearly follow example problems, without giving you a headache.
- What about strategy? Strategy is EVERYWHERE in this book. It's in every topic, in each section, and in it's own chapter.
- What about your section management and other skills? Use the book to discover critical hacks for your preparation and section management.
How do you practice? Each topic has it's own set of practice problems tailored to the skills you need on test day. Treat the practice problems like a super-focused, detailed problem book.
How do you target what you need? The book has six pre-tests covering specific content that will identify the topics you need to see. The solutions are linked to the sections of the book. You'll also find out how to breakdown your ACT score report and make that information a help.
- How do you work on your math skills? This book is designed for meaningful practice. Each topic is covered individually, with page after page of material and example problems and each topic has it's own videos. At the end, you'll find the skills that tie into what you just worked.
- Use the built in Kindle Textbook features to create your own math cheat sheet, take notes, and navigate topics.

About the author
I work as a test prep tutor and admissions counselor for high school and college students. In that capacity, I've worked with hundreds of students all with different hopes, fears, goals, and strengths. I love my job.
Every year I get to help a new bunch of students take their best test, apply, and get accepted to wonderful colleges and graduate schools. I also routinely work with students who have physical impairments, or learning problems. It's an exciting time of life, full of possibility, and I love helping students through it.
I wrote "How to Graduate College in 4 Years" because no one had. Students need a practical guide to navigate college and save themselves time, money, and frustration. I want students to graduate in four years, but--as I say in the marketing stuff--surviving college is insufficient. I see college as a launchpad, where students establish the habits and priorities that will define their personal and professional lives.
I wrote "ACT Math the Guide" because I wasn't happy with the prep books available for the Math section of the ACT. They rushed through reviewing the math and didn't offer enough concentrated practice to allow students to learn the skills. So, I started writing my own. I wanted to write a book that could help students of all levels, with all educational backgrounds, and with all score objectives.
I live in Pittsburgh with my daughter Samantha and our dog (teaching assistant) Harper. I'm always happy to answer questions for free, and I can be reached through my website: http://thetestguy.com/contact.html

The guide is set up into six sections, which all include 'Pre-Tests' that allow you to better understand your strengths and weaknesses before you dive into the actual material.
Brezinski's streamlined approach allows students to get the most bang for their test-prep buck, as it eliminates overstudying the material you know and understudying the material you don't know.
I have personally worked one on one with Jacob, and I have to say that he is without a doubt one of the best at what he does. He has helped me learn more about math in the past month than I have learned in the past three or four years. You can reach Jacob for tutoring inquiries by emailing jacob@thetestguy.com.
All in all, I would highly recommend this guide to anyone looking to crack the math section of the ACT once and for all.
This guide was a total game changer.
