Prepare for the ACT with guided practice tests, video solutions, proven strategies, and live review sessions.
Choose the course that fits your schedule and goals.
No. The course can be completed entirely on your own using the videos, practice tests, and study materials. However, the live sessions are where you can ask questions and receive direct feedback.
This is the best opportunity to get targeted help on specific questions, concepts, test-taking strategies, or concerns you may have. If you’re stuck on a problem or unsure why you’re making certain mistakes, the live sessions allow us to address those issues together in real time.

Any ACT-approved scientific or graphing calculator will work. However, I recommend the Casio fx-300ES Plus 2nd Edition because it includes several features that can save time and simplify calculations on the ACT.
The ACT Survival Guide explains these features in detail and demonstrates how they can be used effectively during the test.
Ultimately, the best calculator is the one you are most familiar and comfortable using. Regardless of which calculator you choose, make sure you know how to use its key functions before test day.
No. The practice tests and Survival Guide can be viewed digitally. However, I strongly recommend printing both.
The best way to prepare for the ACT is to mimic actual testing conditions as closely as possible, and the ACT is currently a paper-and-pencil test. Working through the practice tests on paper provides a more realistic testing experience and helps develop pacing and endurance.
The Survival Guide is also designed to be an active learning tool. It includes sections for notes, strategies, and reference materials that students will revisit throughout the course. Having a printed copy makes it easier to take notes, mark important pages, and quickly flip between sections as needed.
No. There is no guarantee of score improvement, as results vary based on a student’s starting point, effort, consistency, and commitment to the preparation process.
However, math is a skill that improves through practice, reflection, and repetition. This course is designed to help students build those skills through high-quality practice tests, detailed video solutions, proven test-taking strategies, and clear instruction that emphasizes understanding rather than memorization.
The goal is not simply to learn how to answer specific questions, but to develop the confidence and problem-solving skills needed to approach unfamiliar ACT questions successfully.
Hi, I’m Brett Bodine, a high school math teacher with over 15 years of experience teaching Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and Precalculus.
I created Bodine Math and the Try Cycle to help students learn complex topics in a way that is clear, approachable, and effective. The Try Cycle emphasizes the importance of trying, failing, fixing mistakes, and repeating the process until success is achieved.
Most students believe they need more tricks, shortcuts, or formulas to memorize. In reality, most students need a stronger understanding of the underlying concepts. When students truly understand the “why” behind the math, they are better equipped to solve unfamiliar problems with confidence.
That is the philosophy behind Bodine Math: build understanding first, develop confidence through practice, and use mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow.
