How do we get your tutoring?
@@livexlivie9948 Hi! I typically tutor each student for 1-3 hours a week and I assign homework after each session. I make a spreadsheet for each student to track their progress, hours, and “cheat sheet” of customized tips. My rates are here: calendly.com/good2great_/30min?month=2023-08
My email address is also in the instructions at the link! You can email me to set up a session there.
Hello Amy! You may also put videos for union public service commision exam's - CSAT paper( India ), as that will help those students. Thanks in advance ☺️
i am a very OVERLY analytical person, leading to my self-sabotage, but this video made me change my perspective of the ACT. i understood it and will apply it tmmr. you are awesome! God bless your soul🌷
That's awesome! You got it :)
Hey Amy,
I'm an OL student in Sri Lanka, and I think this might be helpful.
For the last question, there is an easy theorem you can apply:
The sum of 2 inner angles of a triangle = The exterior opposite angle.
Hope this helped.
Good job! That is the exterior angle theorem in geometry!
Woah! I was never taught that, this is very useful!
I'm taking my SAT like next week and I've been studying since August but I felt as if it wasn't enough so I decided to start watching your videos and I'm feeling a little confident so I've been studying an hour on weekdays and 3 hours on weekends to make time for me to take practice test. Thank you for your videos Amy!
How did u do
@@ameliolamkin1446 I got an 880 😔😔
How was it?
How did it go?
@@cooluserhere I did pretty bad ngl
heyy...you might already know this, but here's a tip to everyone for the last question, to find the angle of the exterior angle, it'll just be the sum of the opposite 2 interior angles...so here 20+125=145 and all those steps were not actually required...and also thank you so much for video, i actually saved a lot of time for the highest common factor question
Yup exactly! Thank you. Reason I showed the derivation was so students don’t have to rely on memorization and to show that saving calculations to the end is helpful!
You are honestly the most hardworking TH-camr I've ever seen, who gives honest advices and tips that actually help. I started preparing for SAT, 3 days ago I've started doing practice tests ( suggested by @humanhuman) and I was thinking how I'm going to solve the math part, I did know more than half of the without calculator part but I just got a bit scared after seeing the questions. I'll be trying out your hacks from tomorrow. Thanks a lot Amy, you are such an inspiration for me!
Whoa good timing! Thanks so much and I hope these are helpful. Good luck!
I’m in 8th grade right now, but I still find these videos really helpful! Thank you so much!
Wow you’re ahead of the game! But yes, definitely very good on you for learning these fundamentals and problem-solving skills early.
@@wamyy5 No Amy, to qualified as gifted, he/she should had taken the SAT/ACT to qualified as gifted for Duke TIPS or Johns Hopkins CTY by 7th grade. In the west, there are two public gifted schools, the robinson school at University of washington and davidson academy at university of nevada at Reno. In those gifted schools, everybody is elite!!!
sameeee! But I’m in seventh grade
@@ninersnation3298 Yeah! Honestly, our expectations for students are so low these days! 🙄
Same !!
Your videos help me sm im currently in 8th grade taking high school classes along with high school elective classes as well 😭 your videos motivate me to keep pushing 🫶🫶
Yay so happy to hear that ❤
these questions are so easy
Maybe for you but other learners are trying to learn somthing
Look at you. Out here changing lives in such. So proud
Appreciate the kind words ❤❤❤
You are the best 💯❤️.
Am in the middle of my college application and trying to take the SAT for the first time, in November.
Before watching this video, I was in a serious panic but now am a little bit ok.
Thanks a lot, keep on helping millions by making videos like this. Thank you once again!
i came here before my finals to just make my math solving faster or whatever but all of these we've learnt grades before 😭. im genuinely excited for sat now all the questions seem so easy 😭😭. anyways love the rest of your videos they're all so motivating and always helps me get into that study mood
Hi! Have you tried this video below? And thanks for watching ! ❤️ th-cam.com/video/khov8aANCm0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GATnLcISx_Xy1j8l
I came from tiktok and I wanna thank you so much because this is by far the most helpful and practical math act video and I've watched soo so so many. Most videos advise to use the guess and check route and never fully explain the problem, so I find myself wasting so much time checking. I have a 30 math score right now and I just can't seem to increase it, but I'll definitely use your tips and watch every one of your future math videos. Please keep up the good work and make more ACT math videos if you can!!!
Hi! I’m super glad you stumbled upon my TikTok and you’re here! Yes, exactly, school math really doesn’t teach you what math truly is and makes it hard to even understand how it works. And understanding is key to doing well easily and quickly. Hopefully there will be enough interest shown on these videos and I’ll make a part 2! 😊
I have some math Shorts here btw! youtube.com/@thatmathlete
I am so bad at math but now that I've been watching your videos, my skills have improved also I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel, you're a lifesaver Amy
That's amazing 👏

I scored a 1020 on the SAT and a 25 on the ACT... I'm re-taking the SAT in October... I panic a lot during the exam, so the anxiety makes me read with my eyes, not my brain (if that makes sense LOL). Hoping your content helps me, thank you!!
Ahhh good luck!! Be confident! That’s one of the best ways to do better at anything from my experience : th-cam.com/video/Cn9BbNgP8n8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hqLxzKljC1BKW49l
You can do it! I studied and went from a 25 to a 32! Good luck!
How was it? Hope everything went well!
@@playmaestro1871 they actually ended up cancelling my test! So I’ll have to sign up for another day! Thanks for asking though!!(:
If you have time, I would recommend taking it again your Junior and Senior years after taking advanced courses. I went from a 26 my Sophmore year to a 31 my Junior year without any direct ACT studying. I just took more classes.
Notes I took! 📝
-For GCF, use the L method of finding common factors and dividing them. The multiply together all the numbers and that is your answer!
-Special right triangles have all sides of whole numbers no rad
-Special right triangles: 3-4-5 and 5-12-13 and 7-24-25 and 9-40-41
-Remember, the last 2 numbers of the special right triangle are always 1 apart!
-How to find special right triangle? Square the smallest number. Then divide it by 2 and it should be a decimal point (ex: 4.5) you will then want to go to the nearest whole numbers on either side of that number. (ex: 4, 5)
-Problems on the SAT/ACT don't take long to solve, so if you see an absurd number like 117, there is almost always some trick to solve it hastily.
-Make tables
-Simplify as much as you can and leave calculations till the end!
Good luck to the people reading this, I hope you get a perfect ACT/SAT score!
Off the bat that LCM/GCF tip was super helpful
Yay so glad! :)
Thanks! I just subscribed. I've always been bad at math. Your tips really help.
Yay thank you! :D
Hi wAmy. I'm in grade 8th but I had a request... can you please do these types of math videos every week (like... once or twice a week only). It would be really helpful.
p.s. This video was amazing and helpful and u r amazing and beautiful (Not buttering you up, you ARE REALLY BEAUTIFUL)
They teach this all in Indian schools in class 6th to 8th these are the proper solutions and properties
Like the sum of 2 interior angles in a trianagle is = the exterior angle (11:45)
Her tricks definitely work 💯
in the triangle question we can use exterior angle theorem which states that the exterior angle is sum of the opposite interior angles
btw great tips ^-^
Yup! I just showed how to get it since we can remember it more easily if we understand it and don't rely on memorization. Thanks!
@@wamyy5 💟💟❤️❤️
The third one blew my mind, thanks a lot. Your videos are great. Thanks
Yay! Glad to hear that you liked my solution :) thank you for watching!
for the first tip in order to know which numbers you can divide by you can search up divisibility rules.
They are actually so lower level problems. In India, the 5th and 6th graders have these kind of questions. As a jee aspirant, i wonder if that exam could have this level of questions too…
Actually the bonus problem can be solved in a much easier way because we know the sum of angles of a triangle is 180 and the angle of a straight line is also 180. So just add the given 2 angles in your head and you'll get the answer
But thanks for all the other tips
Amy I hope you don't mind can you please upload more videos like this one
Thank you so much! this vid has helped me a lot. One request can you make a similar video for SAT reading?
If there's enough interest like at least 1K likes on this video, I'll make an SAT reading video! So share my videos with your friends :)
Yes!!! Please make SAT READING VIDEOS N ACT ones.
We all learn this things in school but the questions are really hard. We take a exam at 8th grade and thats changing our lives. The highschool is everything. If you haven't guessed, it's Turkey education system.
Hi Amy, I just started watching your video recently and it really give me motivation to try harder in my study. Im currently taking IB diploma and taking Math AA HL. I just took the math exam today and the test absolutely crushed my confidence, my mind went blank in the test and the questions just seem so unfamiliar to me. I'm really sad right now because I have a risk of failing my diploma and are deciding whether I should be smart and move down a level in my math class or I should keep trying.
I really enjoyed your special right angles method and I was curious to see if it works for all odd numbers so I tried it out with 11 and 13.
11 : 121 -> 60.5 -> 60 and 61
Therefore 11 - 60 - 61
This Holds true for every odd number
Thanks a million 😁
Also for the Problem all the way at the end. Is it not quicker to use the rule ext angles of triangles and take 125 + 20 straight away
Happy to help!
And yes, exactly - you can do the external angles thing. I just want to emphasize that we shouldn't rely on memorizing relationships/formulas and want to show what can happen if you use my method. You'll discover the relationships/formulas yourself!
@@wamyy5 Yes you're 100% correct. I started looking at maths in a different light and to be honest. I'm enjoying it a lot
That's amazing! Great job :)@@abdullah_abisola
Good social presence. ❤
Bro , literally this is 7th grade math in India. And these r the methods we use to do it in daily math ....
Hey! I love math but I fear it Amy. Amy can you make a video on getting over it (getting over the fear).Please!!
Thank u so much and keep sharing u'r knowledge with us pls❤❤❤❤❤
It's so helpful to us❤❤
21x8= 168 21+21= 42 8+8=16 42+16= 58x4= 232 232 1/2 116 348-12 336
I know you are not going see it, but you amaze me
Amy, can you tell me how to not age? Physical immortality. Is it something in my diet! Clean air? Habits? Lately I’ve been mentally tired more than usual.
Is this university level maths???
If it is , then it's so easy like super easy
High school
@wamyy5: Thank you for sharing your technique on recognizing right-angled triangle pattern (e.g. 3/4/5, 5/12/13, 7/24/25, 9/40/41), and this works for other sizes too (e.g. 11/60/61, 13/84/85, 15/112/113)... this is very neat... thank you... just curious... is it possible/hard to work on such proof? thx again for sharing, i'm happy to learn something new and neat today... thx... :)
I’m glad you liked that! Try to figure out the proof yourself :) I’m sure you can! And then try Googling
I’m so bad at math and take act next month , I got a 16/60 on act practice math test I have so much to improve on every section but I feel like math is just the hardest for me to do . I need to get a 31 over all score so I need to get a 52+/60 questions right on the math section .
The exponent question confuses me, what in the world is i, how did i^2 become -1???? And so on
Thanks that helps a lot fr ❤️❤️
in tip 3, you could've just done 125 + 20 = x
Make more videos like this! love itt
You should do this but with the AMC 😄😄
i wish i would’ve seen this before the day before my sat😭
More videos like this please
Sure! On ACT/SAT math specifically?
@@wamyy5 Literature History Passages
@@wamyy5Yes! Pls
Hey, Amy, do you mind showing us some interesting problems you had to do on exams or problem sets in Math 1abc & Physics 1abc at Caltech please? Thanks!
Ah sorry I don’t have them anymore 😢
The first trick is the most common trick in my country but thanks for the other tips
I tried the tip about adding the digits of a number together to see what the whole number is divisible by and I came across a problem. 91=10 which is divisible by 2 but 91 is not divisible by 2. Perhaps I am missing something?
I love your videos!
Thank you!
@@wamyy5 You're welcome and keep up the great work! 🤗
Please Post more math related videos 🥺🥺
Hi Amy!! Math is a breeze for me, but I absolutely suck at science. Thanks to my studying method I can memorize everything but then I have trouble applying it to the ‘real-world.’ It’s not body stuff but moreover environmental science, I am planning on taking ev ap next year, please help!! 😭
If teachers taught this way.. everyone would pass the class lol. Thank youu soo much Amy the methods is very informative.
Yay glad to hear this was helpful!
This is litteraly what we study in class six in india
As a Jee aspirant when I gave SAT papers i found out that the Math in SAT was way easier than JEE..
My SAT result - in Math - 800
In verbal - I fu**ed up.😅
Are ACT/SAT qns this easy? I never gave those exams but in India I studied these (including your "tricks") in school in classes 5th, 5th, 11th and 7th respectively for the qns 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th respectively that you explained.
BTW nice explanations.
Y'all learn this and still stress out about maths. Am grade 10 studentand if u guys learn what am learning u'll faint
Hi amy! i was wondering abt doing some ACT tutoring with you for the math section! could you explain it more to me, if youre available, how much it would be, etc. Thank you so much! love your channel

Great video! But I feel like when you said “no problems are meant to be very hard or take a long time,” the last 10 math problems on the ACT are the ones I get wrong because they seem hard. Any tips?
You can see how I solved the last 10 problems in this video! th-cam.com/video/cXKHoY65gfM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZUEEp1nHXOQX8Vpu The problems vary a lot so I don't have particular tips unless there's a specific concept you want help with!

I am sorry but are these like the real questions from whatever test it is that you are talking about?? If yes then are they like first few questions or something or the like proper hard ones?

hey since you did well on the sat and act i would like to give you a question something just for fun since so many of my friends get this question wrong as well
If you're in the exact same place six month later that you are in right now where would you be

ngl these solutions took me longer than just doing them
It probably just depends on what you’re used to. Learning a new way to do something will take you longer at first because you must learn the new way. If you practice it, it will likely take you much less time than the way that you’re used to. Im guessing that you’re only faster at doing it the other way because you’ve practiced it a ton with your math homework or whatever. But if you practice Amy’s way as much as you did the old way, you’ll likely be faster with Amy’s way. Just a hunch. I could be wrong.
Exactly right! Thanks for these encouraging insights, Emilee :)
