Review of Prep Guide
Highly useful guide that proved to be a great help in my son's efforts to improve his ACT score.
Good guidance...
I purchased this for my daughter who is prepping for the ACT. This was one of two books she is using as a guide. She really likes this book because it narrows in and calmed her down about the stress of this test. I recommend this book to every 16 year old pre-prep student.
Test Prep
My child has been helped by having the tests to review. He has stepped up his pace by having the actual tests. Amazon was very good throughout this entire holiday season.
Great resource to improve score
I used this book along with the Real ACT book, the McGraw Hill 10 Practice Tests, and Sparknotes Guide to the ACT. I found that this books was one of the more helpful ones. The strategies given are insignificant, as it is a conflict of interest. This book's value is attributed only by the 3 practice tests. The three practice tests are exactly the same as you would see them during test day. The answer sheet is exactly the same, and there are also blanks for you to add your personal information as you would during test day. That example shows that the book prepares you so that you will not be unpleasantly surprised during test day. The tests are exactly the same in content as you would find during test day. The answer explanations are one of the best aspects of this book; you will find out exactly what you did wrong as the explanations are completely thorough. By practicing on a real ACT, finding out what you did wrong, and using the corrections through the extensive explanations to deter future mistakes, the Real ACT book is the way to go.
This book helped me get a 33!
No different than 2005!
The 2008 Copyright Second Edition, Revised and Updated by ACT, The Real ACT Prep Guide, has exactly the same sample questions, tests and test questions, as the 2005 Real ACT Prep Guide. If you have the 2005 Copyright, this new, second edition will not give you any additional, original practice. Misleading advertising.
