<p>Can I use SAT books to study for the ACT?</p>
<p>I was going to take the SAT, but I'm thinking that the ACT will be a better fit for me. I was wondering if I could use the following books to study for the ACT (along with the official ACT book):</p>
<p>Barron's SAT 2400
Grubers New SAT
Collegeboard Official SAT Study Guide
PR's 11 practice SATs</p>
<p>If I study and have everything in the official ACT study guide, do you think I can get a 34+?</p>
<p>Also, I have Barron's AP Lit and Composition book and Barron's Critical Reading workbook. Can I use those to study for the SAT Subject test in Literature?</p>
<p>I, also, have a AP Stats book I don't need. I got it, but I've decided not to take the test. If you're interested, PM me, and (given that you live in the US and within a reasonable distance) I will give it to you.</p>
<p>The ACT and SAT are totally different tests. The SAT focuses on tricky wording and more "IQ test" type questions whereas the ACT is a straight-up achievement test. </p>
<p>So if you want to do well on the ACT then, well, buy some ACT books! The official ACT guide is only good for the practice tests...you'll want a separate review text. I reccomend Barron's.</p>
<p>Curious: Why have you decided not to take the SAT? If you study those books and you're dedicated, you should do well on it.</p>
<p>I decided to switch because the ACT was more straightforward. I took a practice ACT exam and did much better than the SAT. I know the material, but I don't know the tricks.</p>
<p>Great. I guess I will get the ACT books. Do you know anywhere I can sell my SAT books? I have so many. Haha. They are all in perfect condition, never been written in (actually, I haven't read most of them), and they are all from recent years. I bought them new, so (the 6 I have - too much, I know) cost like 80 dollars.</p>
<p>I hate wasting money >_></p>

<p>ebay? or better yet, ask around at your school. if you can discount the original price at all, i bet you'd find some takers.</p>
<p>Good idea. Thanks. I'll try my school. :]</p>
