<p>I heard that Barron's is better because the practice questions on there are typically harder than those on the actual exam. Therefore, it prepares you for the test better.</p>
<p>any other suggestions?</p>
<p>If you look through previous threads here most students recommend the Princeton Review for tips and techniques and the Real ACT for the practice tests.</p>
<p>Real ACT guide, Princeton Review -- the best ones</p>
<p>Kaplan (good for reading), Barron's (good for making the test seem easier since this book is pretty hard)</p>
<p>So Barron's is harder than the actual test?
I thought it was me.. because I did a practice test and I got so much wrong and started panicking ;x</p>
<p>yeah... if you get like a 25 on Barron's, expect at least a 30 on the real thing... barron's is pretty hossly</p>
<p>how's mcgrall hill?</p>
<p>its suppose to be a LOT easier than the real test</p>
<p>yeah, McGraw-Hill is easier on the real thing... if you get like a 32 on McGraw-Hill, expect anything from a 28-30 on the real thing (roughly those are the scores.. just to give you an idea)</p>
<p>Hearing that Barron's is harder is definitely good to hear, bc I just took the practice test for Barron's (bear in mind that was after studying for every section but math) and got a 25. Brutal. Especially since without studying I got a 28 or 29 on the Princeton Review one.</p>
<p>There ought to be a sticky post about this, cuz someone posts this same question every week...the best ones by far are the official book and Princeton Review.</p>
