I was wondering how accurate this book is. I first started practicing with ACT’s “Red book” and was scoring somewhere between 32-35. However, after moving to Baron’s 2nd edition, I am consistently getting around 27-29 with the rare 30. Did I really drop this much in 1 week of no English practice?
My understanding is that Barron questions are much harder than the real test.
Why don’t you just practice with questions from the real past ACTs?
You can find many of them on the internet.
I guess the only drawback is that they don’t provide explanations.
Seems harder to me. On the ACT I got a 29 for the english, and took a practice in the Barron’s 2nd edition and got a 26.
