<p>D does fine in Math and English. She's very competent in reading and science but seems to be a slow when reading for comprehension. </p>
<p>At this point, we both think that doing as much practice as possible is going to help the most. Want her to apply some tips I have read on CC. She has done a lot of the real practice tests already. Want to save a couple for right before the test, so that leaves us with relying on practice tests made up by companies like Princeton Review.</p>
<p>How good are PR practice tests for this purpose. I hear Barron's are way too tough and I don't want to break her confidence. Any other suggestions?</p>
<p>McGraw Hill has a book of 10 ACT practice tests. They get mixed reviews, but it might be better than nothing. I am going to get them at some point because they are not very expensive and I could at least work on timing with them. The negative review on these is that they are “too easy” – so that might give your daughter a confidence boost as opposed to the Barron’s. </p>
<p>I am using the Kaplan book right now. There are 2 full length practice tests in it. I am using an older version, so I can’t access the online resources from Kaplan, but it sounds like if you get the newer version that there is even more practice online. </p>
<p>A lot of people really like the PR materials. That is another one on my list to buy when I get some money.</p>
