mrsdash Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I got this for my dd and she seemed to find it helpful :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsdash Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 just thought of this... she said it was helpful because he shows tricks to work through the problems quicker and gives tips in general, ie: start at the back and work your way forward, I believe. Overall, she found it helpful for the ACT. hth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellogirl Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 ACT and SAT math are essentially the same. If you are good at math on the one, you should be good at math on the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 ACT and SAT math are essentially the same. If you are good at math on the one, you should be good at math on the other. Really? I thought there was a difference. I know the ACT includes some trig, which I don't think the SAT does and I thought the SAT had more "tricky" problems, but maybe those aren't really significant differences. I'd really like to know because I've been wondering about purchasing Chalkdust to review for ACT, too. So if you could share your source of the info, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I am not familiar with Chalkdust, but I speak from personal experience with the SAT and ACT. Yes, there are a few differences, but if you can't do math, you can't do math. You could try some practice tests with your student to see how they're doing in math. Here are free online tests, otherwise check your library for prep books with additional sample tests. ACT- http://www.act.org/aap/pdf/preparing.pdf SAT- http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/prep_one/test.html?BannerID=pretest&AffiliateID=PREPCENTER What grade is your student and how much math has he/she had?

Halftime Hope Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 sections within the book. That said, I may see if I can borrow a Chalkdust Math Review for dd this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Thank you all. He is in grade 10 and is almost finished Saxon Alg II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellogirl Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Thank you all. He is in grade 10 and is almost finished Saxon Alg II. Sounds like your son is on track. If he does most of Advanced Math before next spring (most take it spring of 11th grade) there should be virtually nothing on the test that he doesn't know. Of course, a little review can't hurt.
