FAQ
How were the 60 math practice problems in the guided practice test
chosen?
We analyzed the content of as many past ACT Math tests as we could get our hands on, and created the 60 problems
in this program to reflect the most likely types of problems. We created answer choices that reflect typical wrong
answers, just like you'll see on the actual test.
How are the solutions presented?
The solution to each problem includes audio and video, and is similar to what you’d experience in a classroom
when your teacher goes over the solution to a test problem. We include tips and tricks to help you save time on the
actual test. The MathOnTime examples posted on YouTube are similar to the problems in the course.
How long does each problem take?
It takes about 5 minutes to complete one problem (60 seconds working the problem and 4 or 5 minutes for the
solution, math, and tips).
Do I have to sit through the whole 60-second timer if I work a problem in less than
a minute?
No. In the old version you can jump to the solution with a menu. In the new version the solution location
displays while the timer is counting down, so you can slide the video position to the solution as soon as you
finish the problem (provided the video has loaded to that point).

About MathOnTime
MathOnTime presents a fast way for busy people to prepare for the mathematics portion of standardized
tests, such as the ACT and SAT. It is also useful for students wishing to review math concepts in preparation
for first-year college math classes.
The MathOnTime Method of ACT Prep
The MathOnTime method takes advantage of current research on learning and memory. It turns out that one of the
best ways to learn something is to try it, make a mistake, and immediately correct the mistake. The MathOnTime ACT
Math Prep course takes advantage of this fact by guiding you through the solution immediately after you
attempt a practice problem. Thus the solution comes at a time when your brain is focused in exactly the right
place.
How a "60-Second Focus" can help you master ACT Math Problems
ACT Math Made Easy challenges you
to work a math practice problem with a 60-second timer. This 60-second focus helps you practice two
critical skills: working under pressure and pacing yourself for the actual ACT Math test, which consists of 60
problems in 60 minutes. Focusing on a problem for 60 seconds will bring you to an ideal state for learning, so the
solution to the problem is much more likely to be remembered.
By focusing for one minute and then carefully following the solution, you can master a typical ACT Math problem
in just a few minutes!
