<p>You are probably sick of hearing this question--I am too--but I have yet to see an actual straight forward answer. I've heard people recommend several books; the official act book, princeton, barron, etc. Which book is the best? Which book would bring someone closes to the perfect score?</p>
<p>I think you should get off the computer and start studying, starting threads wont help you much.</p>
<p>There’s no right answer to your questions, the best book is the one that helps you the most.</p>
<p>official ACT and princeton from what I’ve been told.</p>
<p>^you’re correct</p>
<p>That is correct: the official ACT in conjunction with the PR will work just fine if you put your nose to the grindstone in an organized and methodical way. (Nothing wrong with the Barrons book, either.)</p>
<p>I’d say official ACT by far. Stay away from the SparkNotes tests for sure</p>
<p>i have no idea because i haven’t taken it but…what’s wrong with the sparknotes tests?</p>
<p>Are those tests not as valid?</p>
<p>I would assume that the official ACT book would serve as the most preferable and beneficial.</p>
<p>I used the Princeton Review book and it helped me a lot with english and math. I’ve never looked at the official ACT book though.</p>
<p>@ warts and all
No, they aren’t as realistic as the official tests (obviously).</p>
<p>Also OP, what marix said.</p>
<p>I’ll add that the PR book is surprisingly really good.
I have yet to check out the official ACT prep book though.</p>
<p>The SparkNotes book I used had a messed up answer key and several questions with no right answer (the answer listed in the key as the correct answer was not an option on the test), and other such small problems, etc. It wasn’t terrible, but there’s definitely better books.</p>
