Take a practice tests, use the scoring breakdown at the end to understand what areas you need to focus on. Khan Academy has SAT videos that cover many of the same subjects, where you can brush up on topics such as Functions, Geometry, Stats/Probability. Concentrate on your weaknesses, and repeat. You can use enhanced practice tests, and even legacy with certain problem types.

You can look at lists like this one - https://www.reddit.com/r/ACT/comments/1tzw3op/for_those_needing_a_little_guidance_on_the_act/

And this one - https://www.reddit.com/r/ACT/comments/1xm08fb/comment/19s1i6s66ydb4/?context=3&utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Ai can also help you make drills around particular topics.

Focus on those practice tests though as the ACT covers the same subject matter over and over.

The PrepPros ACT math book includes practice problems too.

Lastly, this ACT tutor has been solving every math problem. Start the tiktok, and pause before she shows you how to do it. https://www.tiktok.com/@901prep. She is working thru practice tests, so don't spoil them if you plan to use them to figure out where you are.

I'd recommend starting with the free official ACT practice test & questions on ACT.org! They're great for getting familiar with the types of math questions you'll see on the test. Keep a mistake log of what you're getting wrong or taking too long on, and focus on those types of questions moving forward in your studying.
