<p>I have heard that Barron books are more difficult than the actual tests.</p>

3

<p>PETERSON’s and BARRON’s science sections are waste of time</p>

<p>they are too hard compare to the real act and some questions are unpredictably weird</p>

4

<p>It is! it has a lot of like applied questions rather than analytical. i’m sticking with PR, it’s the closest to the actual thing.</p>

5

<p>which barron’s book? The ACT 36 or just the ACT?</p>

6

<p>Just Barron ACT</p>

<p>Barron’s makes all of its test prep books way too hard. The argument is that they over prepare you, which will make you do better. I don’t think it is worth practicing with material that is much more difficult than the exam if you can just get comfortable and do well with material that is just as hard as the exam.</p>

<p>How can it be harder though for subject tests? For example chemistry, how can there be HARDER questions?</p>

9

<p>…the science section in any book is hard as hell to me…</p>

<p>Questions are harder if the material they cover and the process for reasoning and solving the problems is more difficult than the questions that will actually be asked on the real test.</p>
