<p>I'm taking my ACT for the first time in June. What materials (prep books) should I use?</p>
<p>The Real ACT Prep Guide (commonly called the redbook)
Princeton Review 1,296 ACT questions
Princeton Review Cracking the ACT</p>
<p>Take one practice test to see where you are and then work on what you need to. Use Cracking the ACT for their information and do practice in 1,296 ACT questions. The best way to improve is to do actual practice test so when you think you’ve done enough studying and individual problems, do the practice tests. Make sure you are also completing them with real time limits and other ACT conditions</p>
<p>Somewhere on this forum, someone has uploaded the past 3 “Preparing for the ACT” things that come out every year - each of them contains one previously administered test, complete with answers. It’ll give you even more practice with real questions.</p>
