Difference Between 1st and 2nd Edition of "The Real ACT Prep Guide"?

<p>I'm looking to buy a copy of the "The Real ACT Prep Guide." I've been checking out Amazon and I see 2 editions of this book:</p>

<p>2005 edition:
(<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Real-Guide-guide-i%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/Real-Guide-guide-i&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;/p>

<p>2007 edition:
(Amazon.com:</a> The Real ACT Prep Guide: The Only Official Prep Guide From The Makers Of The ACT (Real Act Prep Guide): Books: ACT Inc.,Wallie W Hammond)</p>

<p>I'm not sure how to proceed. Does the 2007 edition have 3 different practice tests from those in the 2005 edition? If so, I think I'd be interested in buying both to get 6 full length practice tests. If not, could someone let me know. In that case, I'll just buy the 2007 edition, since it probably has the most updated advice.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Hmm. I think each test should have the test form on the first page, which might be four digits and a letter. If someone who has one of the guides would post what edition they have and the three test forms, and someone else has the other guide, we can figure it out.</p>

<p>I would also very much like to know.</p>

<p>2005 edition</p>

<p>Practice Test 1 2004-2005:
-Form 1MC
-Writing Booklet Form 1WT</p>

<p>Practice Test 2 2004-2005:
-Form 2MC
-Writing Booklet Form 2WT</p>

<p>Practice Test 3 2004-2005:
-Form 3MC
-Writing Booklet Form 3WT</p>

<p>Think this is what you were looking for, correct?</p>

<p>Just noticed that the other book isn't even published yet. I would assume that it has newer tests though.</p>

<p>Oh...no, apparently they've renumbered the tests with generic test forms for the book, so that won't help. They aren't like the ones in the Preparing for the ACT booklet and on the sample tests, which actually identify each unique test form.</p>

<p>I decided to call up ACT, Inc. and ask the source. From a customer service rep's mouth:</p>

<p>"The books offer the same tests. The only differences: (1) the look on the cover and (2) the updated advice on registering for the ACT, percentile rankings, and college readiness standards."</p>

<p>So, 2005 and 2007 are the SAME!</p>
