<p>I took the ACT without prep in Oct and got a composite 28 with english 32 (essay 10), reading 34, math 24, and science 23.</p>
<p>i am taking the test again in dec and i really want to raise my score above 30, everyone says that the real ACT prep book is the way to do it, but i can't afford to buy the book. my library doesn't have it, but i borrowed princeton review's act book and a pearson ACT book. are those books fine? what other ways could i prep?</p>
