<p>Everyone,</p>
<p>Most students in my area (mid-Atlantic) take the SAT. My D is considering taking the ACT, because her math tutor suggested that the math section is more straightforward. </p>
<p>Do the "10 Real ACT" books not only provide the correct answers, but also the solutions ... in other words, how the problem is solved? (Something akin to the The NEW SAT Solutions Manual," but for the ACT.) </p>
<p>We're in a muddle trying to decide whether my D should spend time prepping for the SAT or the ACT, as she doesn't have time to prep for both. She is a junior in hs. Unfortunately, our school's GC is/has been very little to no help with this whole process.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any advice/help.</p>
<p>I'm not sure about the "10 Real ACT" book, but I recommend the "Real ACT Guide." It comes with 3 past exams, answers and scoring information, and a brief summary on how to solve each problem. Because the exams are from previous testing dates, it provides the most accurate representation of what the ACT is like. If your daughter is considering taking the exam before her senior year (so either in Feb, April, or June), the information and tips covered in the book, plus the three exams, should be enough to prep her (10 might over do it).</p>
<p>The Princeton Review tests in Cracking the ACT come with answer explanations also.</p>
<p>the "real ACT" book has complete explanations for each problem.</p>
<p>that's why i like ACT better than SAT. Collegeboard make so much money and they're still so cheap that you can only get explanations online for 65 freaking bucks.</p>
<p>yeah... but at least collegeboard doesn't charge to see your scores online. and you can make changes to your admission ticket online.</p>
<p>yea but wit collegeboard the colleges c all the SATs that u will take..wit ACT u can choose which scores u want to send in...</p>
