<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I just took the December ACT and am nervous while waiting for my scores. My last test was in March of 2014 and I had a 27 composite. English 26, Math 23, Reading 31, and Science 28. March test was with no studying, for the December one I brought in some strategies I had learned on Science and Reading so hopefully those got bumped up a bit. Im a senior but I feel like I want to retake it for peace of mind. I have a E-book of the 2014 princeton review ACT book. </p>
<p>When studying should I have a massive prep book? if so which one(s)? When I see people talking about doing practice tests where do you get them? and can I print out a blank ACT answer document from somewhere when doing an online practice test?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>The big red book is the best prep resource because the tests are closest to the real deal. There are some free tests scattered through the forums here; they are published by the ACT. Just those two resources give you about 9-10 tests depending on how good you are at finding old tests.
For the old tests that I found I just printed them out, hole punched them and placed them in a 1/2 inch binder, so that I could mark all over them.
And yes, you can print out blank answer sheets for the ACT; you just need to good “ACT answer sheet.”</p>
<p>Instead of just selecting one prep book to use, I suggest using multiple books that way you are exposed to various tips and strategies as well as practice tests. Like the above user said, The Real ACT is a good one. I’ve also found the one by Princeton to be useful too.</p>
<p>Try using The Real ACT Prep Guide along with this course: <a href=“http://bestactprep.org/actcourse”>http://bestactprep.org/actcourse</a>. These strategies really helped me a LOT when I took the ACT.</p>
