<p>I recently took the ACT in april, and I think I did fairly well in all the sections except for english. Most are just stupid mistakes, but I think I need more practice. I've finished the red book so which prep book should i buy for english? Barron's? McGrawHill?</p>
<p>Barron’s is hard as nails, but it’ll make the real ACT English section seem like a piece of cake. So I recommend Barron’s.</p>
<p>barrons is overly difficult…PR english is more like the real thang</p>
<p>McGraw was slightly easier than the ACT, but the format and the types of questions were exactly the same.</p>
<p>princeton review is the worst
the english is too easy from what my friend told me
he took the english section in the princeton review, breezed by it, and got a 30 on it
then he took the real thing and didnt get to finish the last 18 questions because they were much harder than the questions on the actual test</p>
<p>^mcgraw wasn’t “slightly easier…” it is ridiculously easy. (although the formats are same)</p>
<p>Don’t listen to marcer…pr is great. I would also suggest barrons because if you get like 25-27 on it you should get like 30ish range on the real thing.</p>
<p>And mercer is 100 percent wrong saying pr is the worst. McGraw hills is worse. Pr is def good.</p>
<p>everyone has his or her own opinion</p>
