Editing ACT (test) (section)

===Math===
The second section is a 60-minute, 60-question math test with the usual distribution of questions being approximately 14 covering [[pre-algebra]], 10 elementary [[algebra]], 9 intermediate algebra, 14 [[Euclidean geometry|plane geometry]], 9 [[coordinate geometry]], and 4 elementary [[trigonometry]] questions.<ref>{{cite book |author= Geoff Martz |title= Cracking The ACT |edition= 2007 |publisher= The Princeton Review |isbn= 978-0-375-76585-8 |pages= 94 |chapter= Chapter 10 |author2=Kim Magloire |author3=Theodore Silver. |year= 2007}}</ref> However, the distribution of question topics varies from test to test. The difficulty of questions usually increases as a test taker moves on to higher question numbers. Calculators are permitted in this section only. The calculator requirements are stricter than the SAT's in that [[computer algebra system]]s (such as the [[TI-89]]) are not allowed; however, the ACT permits [[adding machine|calculators with paper tapes]], that make noise (but must be disabled), or that have power cords with certain "modifications" (i.e., disabling the mentioned features), which the SAT does not allow.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.actstudent.org/faq/answers/calculator.html |title=ACT FAQ: Can I use a calculator? |access-date=September 8, 2007 |publisher=ACT Inc. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070820161453/http://www.actstudent.org/faq/answers/calculator.html |archive-date=August 20, 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Standard [[graphing calculator]]s, such as the TI-83 and TI-84, are allowed. Within the [[TI-Nspire]] family, the standard and CX versions are allowed while the CX CAS is not. This is the only section that has five answer choices per question instead of four.
