<p>i know for the SAT most people use the College Board Official Study Guide for tests, as they are "real" tests. What's the best source for ACT tests?</p>
<p>There are at least 16 DIFFERENT real live retired tests available from ACT. It would be expensive to get them all yourself, but you could give this list to your guidance office and suggest that they start a library if they don't already have one. The numbers below are the number of different tests available in each format.</p>
<p>These are free:
1 Preparing for the ACT booklet (in reg packet or from guidance office, or download at <a href="http://www.act.org/path/secondary/resources.html%5B/url%5D">www.act.org/path/secondary/resources.html</a>)
1 ACT Website (<a href="http://www.actstudent.org/sampletest/index.html%5B/url%5D">www.actstudent.org/sampletest/index.html</a>)</p>
<p>You can order these at <a href="http://www.act.org/store/index.html:%5B/url%5D">www.act.org/store/index.html:</a>
3 Real ACT Prep Guide book
2 ACT Online Prep
3* Sample test booklets for students
3* Sample test booklets for institutions</p>
<p>*There are only 2 on the website/order form, but if you call customer service you can get a third one. You may be able to order the institution ones if you call, or you might have to ask your high school to order these for you. They come out with one new student and one new institution sample test every couple years, so see if your guidance office has any of the old ones that you can't order anymore (test forms are printed on the booklets).
I think they recently took some of the above off the order form, but maybe you can still get them if you or your guidance counselor calls ACT.</p>
<p>2 ACTive Prep software
You can't order this anymore, but you can find it used on eBay or Amazon or see if your high school has a copy.</p>
<p>1 Large print sample test booklet
I don't know how to get this. You could try calling customer service or see if your high school has a copy.</p>
<p>Another source of retired tests is Test Information Release, a service that lets you purchase a copy of the test and your answers after the December, April, and June test dates. You could ask people who tested on these dates and used this service if you can borrow their booklets, or suggest that your school ask students to donate their booklets to the guidance office.</p>
