 Rating:  - DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!This book is terrible especially for the math section. The order of difficulty in this book is so erratic and random that it does not match the one used on the ACT. Here is an example of a math problem found in this book: 13) (5 1/8) - (3 5/6) = ? A) 1 7/24 B) 2 17/24 C) 1 1/2 D) 1 1/8 E) 1 7/24 Here is another bad math problem: 35) What base eight numeral corresponds to 90_(ten)? A) 882_(eight) B) 102_(eight) ...

Given what the book contains and its price, 'How to Prepare for the ACT' is probably the best ACT book out there. The student has four opportunities to simulate the entire exam (one diagnostic test and three full 'model' ACT tests). I would recommend using many different resources to study for the ACT, but I would also recommend beginning with this book. It will be a lifesaver for procrastinators. It can also give you ... Read More Rating: - Worth every penny!I took the ACT my junior year and only received a score of 25. However, after using this book for about a month in advance, I was able to achieve a score of 29. I attribute most of, if not all of that increase to this book. It's practice tests are great, but that is not all. For each section different topics are discussed and mini-tests are given in these areas. The English section really helped me to not only practice, but understand many simple ideas about grammar and punctuation, that I had never ... Read More
