ACT Resources
There are three types of ACT materials listed below: a) downloadable files in PDF format that I have created as part of my tutoring business; b) external links to specific articles; and c) external links to websites containing a variety of materials. These items are grouped by mathematical category. You may scroll to the desired category using the menu in the right sidebar.
Note: although this website is dedicated to mathematics, this particular page also includes items related to the English (grammar), science, and reading sections of the test.
