<p>I'm sure each one of the ACT taker has faced this dilemma at some point. You know there are 3-4 books to prepare from besides red book aka ACT 36, Barrons ACT, Princeton etc. How do you get most from each of the books? We don't have so much time to read every page from start to finish? Do you only look at their tips, strategies and tests? As opposed to reading the entire book from start to finish.</p>
<p>No! I’d suggest reading the whole book.Depth not bulk .Also, The red book i.e the Official Guide to ACT is not the ACT 36.You’re confusing it with the Barron’s.
But surely there are some strong and weak points of a book.
I’s suggest PR 1296 and Red Book for Tests and Barron’s 36 if you further wish to push your score.Keep practicing and you should be fine.</p>
<p>heythere7</p>
<p>what did you mean by depth not bulk? meaning whatever you read, read it entirely instead of glancing or skimming through? </p>
<p>Barron’s 36, do you use that for taking tests or studying in general.</p>
<p>Yeah! That’s what I meant.
Tests are hard and I’d advice not to sweat a 29 on Barron’s as it’s hard.
The red book is as close as you can get on predicting your score.
Good Luck.</p>
