Getting into the ACT: Official Guide to the ACT Assessment, Second Edition by ACT

Review material was what I had expected. The book was in excellent condition.

Think of this as the ACT version of

I bought this book right after I took my first ACTs. I did not really prepare for my first ACTs; I only took a brief glance at an ACT-produced material. So, I decided to buy this book to get more used to the test.If you really need to know the 'format' of the test, you don't have to buy this book. Buy Barron's or Kaplan, or Princeton Review. What this book is REALLY useful at is giving you an expectation of the level of questions the ACT is going to ask you. For instance, Barron's ACT questions are much more challenging than the real ACT questions. However, the questions that appear here are of the SAME level of difficulty, partly because the questions are from 'retired' ACTs of 1996 (or some other year, I am not too sure)If you already have "10 Real SATs", this is pretty much the same as that book, except it is produced by the ACT for the ACT.The only difference would be that this book, unlike the "10 Real SATs", does not have 10 tests. It has only 2. However, this book has detailed explanations that will give you an edge if you would like to study more on the ACTs.If you got the money, buy this, and go through the book 3-4 days before the real ACTs. You will see a definite increase in your scores. I certainly did; I got a 35 on my last ACT.

Absolutely a must

I've been out of high school for 10 years...going back to college and needed to take the ACT. After getting this book, I scored a 19 on the first practice exam. I studied 2-3 times a week for 2 months and took my official test. What a surprise I got the day my results came back and I had scored a 25. My cousin who just started her senior year in high school took the test and got a 18!!! This book is a must.

A full and complete book from the Masters

This book is written by the test makers. You will know that the knowledge you gain will directly help you in taking the exam. Unlike other books, this book has ACTUAL questions. Thus, you will not assume the questions

perfect book!

I want to get more informations about this test.I think this is a good book to me to improve my read test and science!
