Maths is all about practice and ACT Math syllabus tests all major topics tested in high school. Thus, there is only one solution, begin preparing for ACT Maths section well before time, as soon as you leave school and look for some good resources to brush up your basics. Once your basics are clear you will not face issues in cracking the ACT Math section questions. Maths for weaker students may be laborious but preparing for it before hand with ample practice can prove beneficial. One should begin Maths section preparation atleast three months prior to ACT exam date.

Applicants should begin preparing for ACT exam a month or two prior to the ACT exam date preferably. However, those applicants who are weaker in any of the four sections of either Reading, Writing, Maths or Science can begin preparing for ACT slightly earlier based on their previous knowledge or preparation. Max to max one should keep atleast two months in hand in this scenario. Plus more time would be needed to attempt mocks as well.

ACT English section syllabus is based on reading comprehension and understanding of the text plus consequently answering the questions. There are other questions based on the applicant's knowledge in English language's sentence structure & formation, punctuation and how the language is used. The ACT English syllabus also includes the students to review and edit complex texts so that they are coherent and make more sense. Thus, there's mostly about how the language is put to use.

Students who hold a strong hand in math and Science might find ACT math easier than SAT. Math in the ACT includes charts, graphs, and formulas and it's straightforward. Plus, maths section includes algebra, geometry, functions, etc. All major topics are tested as part of the ACT Math section syllabus. International students can prepare for ACT math syllabus based on class XII. However, SAT Math syllabus is though similar but the questions are more analytical in nature in comparison to ACT math syllabus.

Yes, ACT syllabus is vast and it includes testing students on various sections. The syllabus includes topics from Science, Maths and English most importantly. All major topics of these subjects are tested and are a part of the ACT exam syllabus. Hence, yes, it is not wrong to say that ACT exam syllabus is vast because of three major subjects that are tested and moreover a deeper understanding of the topics is prioritized when tested on the ACT.

In case the applicant is unable to register for his or her preferred ACT exam centre, the next best option is to choose another test date. Exam centre availability completely depends upon the applicant's time of ACT exam registration and whether or not seats at the designated ACT exam centre are available or not. It is advised that students check their test dates and corresponding registration deadlines for the chosen ACT exam centre beforehand to avoid missing out at the last minute.

It is not allowed to make changes either to the test center or test date on the test day. On test day you are allowed to make only one change that is the test option that you like to attempt, ACT or ACT Writing. Before admission, you need to inform the supervisor that wants to make changes to the test. You will not be allowed to add writing on the test day.

No, this is not usually the case when ACT exam dates change that too last minute without prior information. The ACT exam dates are predetermined and they do not change within a short span of time also. Hence, whatever dates are available while registrations, they are final and there is no scope for alteration or change of dates from ACT.
