<p>I have the Real ACT study guide (Red book).</p>
<p>Should I be using anything else?</p>
<p>People keep suggesting Barrons, but which one are they talking about? The regular one? or Barrons ACT 36?</p>
<p>I hear Kaplan and PR stink. I have them for SAT and they suck as well. </p>
<p>For SAT I have been using blue book and Barrons 2400.</p>
<p>Any advice?</p>
<p>I'm clueless...</p>

<p>I’ve raised my score from a 21 to a 29. I suggest Princeton Review + Barron’s. Barron’s 36 is a BRAND new book. So, unless they said Barron’s 36, they mean the regular Barron’s ACT prep book.</p>
<p>I say stick with the real act book. The other ones I’ve noticed seem just a bit off from what the real act book has. The questions are similar but not exactly the same styles or anything.</p>
<p>I used Red Book and Barron’s ACT (not 36) and I got a 33 on the first test I took. Barron’s has higher difficulty but it makes the real test seem easy, so I recommend it. However, that doesn’t necessarily work for everyone so PR is the closest test to the real ones.</p>
<p>Yes, do not get barron’s expecting realistic, ACT-like practice tests. Get barron’s for extremly difficult practice tests that challenge your knowledge.</p>
<p>Princeton Review totally, totally sucks. It seems to cover very little information and felt much easier than the real ACT practice tests (and real ACT) that I took.</p>
