Barrons ACT diagnostic test

Test Preparation
1

I have heard that Barrons is harder than the actual act.

I scored a 24 on the Barrons diagnostic test, which I believe is structured differently than a regular practice test. You sit down and do an english section in one sitting, 45 minutes with 75 questions etc.

If the barrons practice tests are a little harder, do you think the same can be said about their diagnostic test?

Thank you.

Most likely.

The Barron’s English and Reading sections don’t mimic the test well. The tests in The Real ACT Prep Book do though. You should try taking one of those and see what your composite is, that will give you a good indication of where you are.
