"Cracking the ACT" : Is their math section realistic?

<p>I scored a 29 on the first math practice test for "Cracking the ACT" and a 31 on the second math practice test.</p>

<p>The 29 consisted of ~2 stupid mistakes and the 31 consisted of ~4 stupid mistakes. So, if these tests are realistic, i really think i can score a 33+ on the math section of the Real ACT.</p>

<p>Can anyone with experience tell me how accurate PR's "Cracking the ACT" math sections are?</p>

<p>Ah, yes I used PR too… I generally got 34-35 on practice tests and got a 36 on the real deal. So it seemed pretty accurate…</p>

<p>princeton review is very accurate, I feel. I score around the same on the real act’s and PR.</p>

<p>Wow, thanks guys. I never expected the PR tests to be accurate, they seem really easy to me. (maybe that’s because i haven’t taken an ACT math section in months.) I’m looking forward to learning from my mistakes and taking them over to the Red Book tests!</p>

<p>Also, if anyone has extra thoughts to add about the PR book, please feel free to do so.</p>

<p>Princeton Review tends to be more ‘moderate’ and realistic compared to something like Barron’s higher difficulty books in general. In almost any case, PR is always a good book choice for almost every test (AP, SAT, ACT, etc.).</p>
