This prep book actually has cartoons that are funny. And the authors are pretty amusing considering the subject matter. But the good news is that the content has the potential to help you score higher on the writing section. The tips made me think about different ways to approach the writing prompts. As they say, you have to be unafraid to "Take the Shot." No mooncalfing. No lollydolling. Save that for your sweetheart. Buy this book now.

A Must Buy!

This prep book not only prepared me for the ACT but kept me entertained and involved while studying. The annotated essays that other students wrote really helped me focus in on my own writing and realize what I needed to change. Thanks to this book I scored high on the ACT and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to do well on the test.

An ACT survivor

I love this book. The practice essays and critiques are invaluable. They are unlike the generic approach used by many of the other prep books. I found specific ways to improve my writing. And that made all the difference.

Save Hundreds By Reading This Book

I paid more than $800 to attend a Kaplan course to prepare for the ACT and SAT and I came out of it feeling like I had wasted my money. For any sane student who has more to do than flip through thousands of pages of nonsense this is the book for you. At first I felt that preparing for the ACT would be more difficult, but if you follow what the authors tell you, you will see almost immediate progress. For a money conscious person like me, I especially enjoy the multiple applications of this book, which means that it won't be sitting on the shelf after I get into college. I will definately use this book to help me in my writing in the future. A reasonable study program that won't bore you to death, What more can anyone ask?
