{ "item_title" : "ACT Math Breakthrough", "item_author" : [" Jason Atkins "], "item_description" : "Who it's for: Students scoring roughly 20-32 on ACT Math who've plateaued - they've already taken practice tests, studied, and retested, but their score won't budge. Written by someone sharing their personal method that took them from a 20 to a 35.Core premise: More practice tests don't raise a stuck score - they just re-measure the same problem. The book's central framework is that every missed point falls into one of three buckets: content gaps, time pressure, or careless errors. Most mid-scorers assume it's mostly content gaps; it's usually mostly time pressure. Diagnosing which bucket is costing the most points - instead of generic all-purpose studying - is what unlocks the jump.Structure (12 chapters + Extra Problems/Answers): Why You're Stuck at a 24 - names the plateau problem, introduces the three-bucket frameworkThe 5-Point Ceiling - a diagnostic exercise: sort your own missed questions into the three bucketsThe Big Jump Mindset - how top scorers approach the test differentlyTime Is the Real Enemy - building a real pacing systemThe Algebra Core - closing the specific foundation gaps that recur mostGeometry Without the Guesswork - the formulas that matter, skip the restWord Problems Decoded - translating English into solvable mathThe Calculator Trap - when it helps vs. when it costs timeKilling Careless Errors - systematizing the #1 silent point thiefBuilding Your Custom Practice Plan - personalized, not genericTest Week - final prep and mental gameYour 8-Week Roadmap - pulling the whole system togetherExtra Problems - practice what you have practiced in this bookAnswer Section - answers to all problems found in this bookDifferentiator vs. Competing ACT Books: Most existing titles in this area are either (a) giant generic question banks, or (b) written by anonymous tutors with no credibility hook. This book leads with a diagnostic-first system and a real personal score jump, which is a stronger trust signal and a more specific promise than 1000 practice questions.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/818/531/9798185318058_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "24.99", "online_price" : "24.99", "our_price" : "24.99", "club_price" : "24.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
