<p>Which one should I get for practice tests? I've heard that Barron's is a lot harder than the actual test, but will the difficulty be beneficial or counterproductive in improving my score? Also, how's the Sparknotes book? Is there a book with nothing but practice tests that are accurate? Thanks!</p>
<p>The Real ACT prep guide has the most accurate tests and it is the ONLY one you need, unless you suck at math and english grammer concepts ( in that case brush up on your math or english with some other book). Barrons is a garbage and i’ll tell you one thing - if the practice tests/questions aren’t accurate then don’t even bother taking them.</p>
<p>Barron’s along with some tutoring improved my score by 4 points.</p>

<p>Bump. Anyone else?</p>
<p>Mgraw Hill helped me improve my English score from a 29 to a 35 in just a couple of months…I found that with those books you get the most for your money (lessons + 8 practice tests in one book)</p>
