In this post, we’ll share with you 5 Key strategies to scoring a 30 or above on the ACT Math section. These strategies are tried and true, and tend to be very effective for students that we have helped prepare for the ACT exam. [ACT math](https://www.myguruedge.com/our-thinking/actsat-and-applying-to-college/topic/act-math) [ACT-Math practice](https://www.myguruedge.com/our-thinking/actsat-and-applying-to-college/topic/act-math-practice) [logs in ACT-Math](https://www.myguruedge.com/our-thinking/actsat-and-applying-to-college/topic/logs-in-act-math) What are logs in math? Do you use them to develop a foundation and build like beavers do? No, you don’t. Instead, in math, logs are the “opposite” of exponentials, just as subtraction is the opposite of addition. If I asked you what number (x) to the third power equals 8 (x3 = 8), then you would take the cube root of both sides and tell me the cube root of 8 equals 2. Now consider this: if I asked you 2 raised to what power (x) gets you 8, how would you solve it? Well, we know that x=3 because 23 = 8, as we saw from the previous problem. But what steps would you take to solve this problem, or any others like it? As I mentioned before, logs are the “opposite”, or the inverse, of exponentials. Thus, one operation can undo the other. Let’s take a look at the relationship between them.

We have worked with hundreds of students, and these ideas are almost always helpful.These strategies are written in a “top 8” list format, but they aren’t necessarily in order. Depending on the student, any given strategy might be more or less effective. ![gmat-math.png](https://www.myguruedge.com/hs-fs/hub/215486/file-2446491333.png?width=320&name=file-2446491333.png "gmat-math.png") ### Follow this blog
