<p>I've heard it's a combination of the Princeton Review and the Real ACT (the red book).</p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>
<p>I second that!</p>
<p>I found "Princeton Review's Crash-Course to the ACT" by chance, and it proved enormously helpful. It's a little book that only takes a few hours tops to go through, and it's designed for last-week/last-minute use, perfect for my situation.</p>
<p>JCM, if you are seriously going to study weeks beforehand, get the larger Princeton Review, and if for some reason you wait to the last week, get the Crash-Course ;)</p>
<p>As for "The Real Act", I bought it and took a practice test from the back. Getting a 35 on science and a 34 on math, I thought I was prepared for Dec's ACT. However this was not the case as I completely guessed 5 on the science section.</p>
<p>While I don't have Barron's ACT book (YET), their review books are generally harder, so I feel the Barron's book would have prepared me better for the Dec ACT than "The Red Book".</p>
<p>Surprisingly enough, I already have that Crash-Course book. Knowing my study habits, my mom picked it up one day, figuring I'd be cramming. I agree with you, quite a bit of information in that little book.</p>
<p>However, College Confidential has essentially inspired/scared me enough to give me a little bit of drive, so I'm actually starting to study now.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input on the Real Act book; I have copies of Barron's for Physics C, Calculus, European History, and English Language, so I definitely know what you mean about the difficulty level. I'll keep that in mind. I hope to make up my mind on this one by Christmas break.</p>
