ACT Prep advice

<p>I know that there are already lots of threads about prep books, but I just wanted some second opinions on the books available out there. I'm currently working out of The Real ACT Prep Guide, which is decent but only includes 3 practice tests. I've heard that the Barrons book gives good preparation due to the fact that it is so hard, and I've looked into Princeton Review's Cracking the ACT. Has anyone used any of the aforementioned books and thought them to be helpful? I'm aiming for a 34-36.</p>

<p>Advice? Anyone? I'm buying the books on Amazon tonight and some input would be really helpful...</p>

<p>I'm in the same boat as you, also aiming for a 34-36.</p>

<p>I used the Real ACT Prep Guide and I found that my scores on those practice tests were pretty much the same as what I got on the real test (I've taken the ACT once so far). I've also heard that Barron's is super hard, but preps you well, and I don't really know much about Princeton Review.</p>

<p>I'm also deciding on which book to get today, and I think I'm just gonna go with Barron's. People keep saying that the real test seemed ridiculously easy compared to the Barron's practice tests...and I'd rather overprep than underprep.</p>

<p>Good luck figuring it out!</p>
