I created a carousel on the 5 biggest reasons students struggle with ACT Math. Which one do you relate to the most?

I’ve noticed that many students struggling with ACT Math aren't necessarily weak at math. Often, it's a few common habits and mindsets that hold them back.

I put together this carousel highlighting 5 things I see repeatedly:

• Rushing through easy questions
• Trying to memorize everything
• Panicking over hard questions
• Practicing without reviewing mistakes
• Thinking you're "not a math person"

The biggest mindset shift for me has been realizing that ACT Math success is built through strategy, consistent practice, and learning from mistakes—not natural talent.

I'm curious:

Which of these do you struggle with the most? Is there anything you'd add to the list?
