Customer Reviews

Extremely helpful!

I used this book SIX years after graduating from high school and I ended up getting a higher score (26) than everyone else I know who took it senior year! This book was extremely helpful in getting test ready, and it explained exactly what the test would be like. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Good book that teach you test-taking tips.

I took my first ACT as a junior last spring and satisfied in the results. My idea about standarized test is that you can't really study, but to learn test-taking tips and work hard at school (I got 35 on Math; I didn't study at all on math). This book teaches you the tips & and it's not lengthy and freaky-looking like Barron's. Also, English review in the Appendix is very helpful; I read that section over right before test and I think it helped me do well in English section (I'm an ESL student.)Now I'm actaully going to go through this book and take ACT again in september; If you're taking ACT, get this book.

Great book!

My daughter doesn't usually do very well on standardized tests, so she's very apprehensive about taking the ACT in December. We bought this book on the recommendation of a friend, and already she's feeling much more confident about the ACT. The great part about the book is that it's not simply vocabulary lists and practice tests -- it also explains what the test is, provides strategies for doing well, and even includes a very complete review section for EACH section of the ACT. It does have a lot of practice tests, too, which works well because she'll be practicing for the next few months.

This book was GREAT

I am currently a junior in high school and took the ACT's without any prep work. I was dissapointed with my first score and purchased this book which has increased my score six points!This book worked great for me, plus I still have a whole year left to take it again to improve my score even more! If you are an average student willing to spend time reading and studying I highly suggest this book. I have tried many books, and I prefer this style the most even over CD-Rom's ( I would hate staring at this screen for hours! ).

This guide helped my son dramatically increase his scores!

This review will be short and sweet. My son and daughter have taken Kaplan center courses in the past, with great results, and we thought we would try the ACT 2000 for my son this year.The book was beautifully layed out, with easy to review sections, tips, strategies, and in-depth explanations that helped him truly understand the way the test makers were thinking when they constructed the questions.The best part of Kaplan ACT 2000 is the approach that it's important for students to master the material covered in school, and that this test is a good indication of subject matter mastery as a predictor for future success in college. I don't want my son to develop an attitude that you can beat and cheat your way around standardized tests. Kaplan's very helpful book gave my son the right attitude for going into the test, the mastery he needed to ace it, and the positive outlook he'll need in life. Parents: Buy this book for your children! (The SAT title is also great.)
