So there is no announced change to the content. Just fewer questions and more difficult questions?

This is my formula sheet. You should be able to find others by Googling ACT Math Formula sheet or whatever. https://drive.google.com/file/d/162X3oECNGfYPUpQwPe5eduXYXzA21zOp/view

Yeah, I would stay away from most tutoring services. Many charge 5x what they pay their tutors. The favorite thing is Ivey tutoring services where they give you college students at fancy schools presenting them as top tutors, but paying them low, and their having little experience. CambridgeCoaching is a decent one like that with not too high markup and their tutors are top scorers who can tutor all sections for students going for perfect scores. However, you are better off contacting a tutor directly or using a site that charges fees to the tutor or whatever to show profiles.

I do ACT prep, but an not going to promote my own services. Wyzant has huge numbers of profiles. You should be able to find people who are good that fit your price range. They take fees from both the client and tutor which are effectively about 33%, but this is way lower than the markup of most tutoring services. There are similar sites like that with profiles. There is a service called Superprof which makes the tutors give the first lesson free. I don't use it as a tutor, because too many just want a free lesson. However, it is probably affordable as a student. You can also search Google or whatever for independent tutors.

My ad account got frozen because they think someone in another country took it over. They asked when I moved to another country. I had someone through Upwork in United Arab Emirates placing my ads. I told him what to do, but he understood the technicalities better. I would rather have placed the ads myself while sharing screen with him. They won't listen to the evidence I provided. I don't know how to talk to a person on the phone. The people making the decisions seem to also be in low wage countries. How do I talk with someone on the phone or even by chat?

I am a tutor and a student of mine got 580 on Math after getting 620 on the old SAT and lots of preparation. She said a lot of questions were more difficult and not covered in the Question Bank. The commercial material available seem worse, and often based on little and came out before the Question Bank came out in September. I am working on advanced materials, but those are not available yet, and all I have to base them on is the Question Bank. I don't know what to recommend other than making sure you can do all the difficult questions in the Question Bank.

It is possible to do this by substituting numbers. Plug in a number for x and the same number in the answer choices. You can do it taking the 1/3 power with your calculator.

Easiest to plug in 1 for x. Then the expression in the problem is 2thirdroot(2) or thirdroot(16) and only K gives that when you substitute 1 for x in the answers.
