Accuracy of ACT Prac Test

Test Preparation
1

<p>I was wondering if anyone could share experience with taking the ACT Practice tests, scoring them with the scale found in most books, and comparing them to your real score. I have not taken the actual ACT yet but have begun practicing with the Princeton Review Practice Tests and those from the Real ACT and online tests.</p>

<p>When I first took a practice test, i scored in the upper 20's except for science where i scored in the low 20s. Since that test when I became familiar with the format however, I consistently score in the mid-30s (31-34) on all sections except for Science where i stay near the 30 mark (28-30).</p>

<p>Im hoping that the tests are very accurate, as these scores would be better than my SAT. Hopefully, someone has some experience to share. Thanks!</p>

<p>So far from my experience, the practice ones have been fairly accurate, but it really depends on the book you're using. I know Barrons does overkill on a lot of the practice tests and makes them tons harder then the real one.</p>

<p>Real ACT and PR tests are the most accurate.</p>
