Reviews & Testimonials
“Anyone even thinking of taking the ACT needs this short but targeted guide to the math section. You simply can’t afford not to spend the time reading his laser sharp drills that break down every type of problem on the ACT, show the math behind each type and then provide drill sections based on that skill set. Even poor math students can learn to recognize all the types of math on the ACT and learn the ropes enough to get most of the easy and medium questions right every time. Mr. Leaf’s guide is even entertaining as he gives the skill sets names like “Green Circle, Black Diamond” to make it feel like you are skiing rather than slogging through lessons. If you want a short but concise guide to the ACT with every trick and mathematical explanation necessary to get a perfect score, this is the book for you. You may even actually LEARN real math in the process as Mr. Leaf’s love of the subject shines through so you don’t just feel you are learning for a test.” Dr. Michele Hernandez

"Feels like you have an insider divulging secrets from behind the walls of the ACT! At times going so far as to circumvent the math skills themselves, Brian gives practical tips and tricks specifically designed to outwit the ACT's formula, and he does it all with a sense of humor and fun. Nice job!" Danica McKellar
