<p>I'm taking the ACT in a week, and I'm taking my first practice test today.</p>
<p>I think I got it from College Counseling at my school.</p>
<p>I thought it was an official practice test, but I'm scoring higher than I expected (so far). Furthermore, everybody said "omg the ACT gives you no time", but after doing the grammar and math sections, I scored a 32 and 33 respectively, and did not run out of time.</p>
<p>Granted, I was making an effort to work quickly, but I did not have trouble finishing, and had at least a minute or two left on each section.</p>
<p>The booklet looks like this: <a href="http://www.geocities.com/ladartfrog/set748_02.jpg%5B/url%5D">http://www.geocities.com/ladartfrog/set748_02.jpg</a> </p>
<p>Anyone know how accurate this is? Has anyone seen this before?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>[EDIT] I remember somebody else saying something a few weeks ago about taking an ACT practice test, thinking it was really easy, and then being "actually challenged" on the real thing..</p>
<p>That's the only thing I used to review for my first one. I don't remember how the scores compared, I don't even think I finished it. And the time thing - it's not as bad as people make it out to be, but you won't have ten minutes to sit around at the end of each 25-min section like the SAT. As long as you work fast, like you said you were, and you finish, it won't be a problem. Also, make sure to do the science practice part!! I know it's at the very end, but it's new for SATers, and you need to know what's coming, because it sucks. Also, what are you basing your expected score on?</p>
<p>That booklet's practice test was WAY EASIER than the real test, I took.</p>
<p>I believe it is easier. Go buy the real ACT prep book. Those tests are right on par.</p>
<p>Try Barron's or PR - they're the elite Test Prep books - "Kaplan's" is just Taboo, don't even GO there lol...</p>
<p>Time is an issue on the ACT - If you have been learning and understanding the material presented in school, the ACT isn't that bad - just go over the test taking skills to speed yourself up and you'll be fine with a couple of practice tests. :D</p>
