<p>I have taken a practice test on ACTonlineprep.org, which is run by the makers of ACT.</p>
<p>I was wondering how accurate it is difficulty-wise in comparison to the test? It seemed very easy to me, and when I took Princeton Review or Barron's I was often stumped. Thanks :)</p>
<p>I understand there are two “real” ACT tests in the online program that are only available there. They are similar to the 5 tests in the red Real ACT book. They have been accurate predictors of success for me and many others I see on this board. I find PR harder than the ACT. </p>
<p>Alright, thank you! My school offered it to us, so it’s a relief to know that PR is harder!</p>
<p>The online official ACT tests are in line with the real ACT tests. I would definitely rely on them to get a sense of the difficulty of the real exam. Sometimes, test prep books go overboard in making their tests difficult. I am not sure what the logic of that is, may be to scare students or may be it is a marketing tactic, or just being lazy in not working hard to ensure that their content is in line with the exam. I notice the same pattern with the SAT Math subject tests as well. </p>
<p>Best wishes.</p>
<p>You’re welcome, @nicobella. I have real tests if you run out and need some. </p>
<p>@kansaskid1 I’d love some, please! I took it on Tuesday and I did great in the first 3 sections time and content wise, but I didn’t pace myself for the science so I think I’ll have to retake it aha</p>
<p>I just sent you a message.</p>
<p>First, I would not rely on a single practice or a single source of practice to estimate the current standing. Second, the format of the test may affect your performance. I think online practice is fine but it cannot replace paper format for a full timed practice.</p>
<p>I do not like the PR. It has caused me so much stress and I have not improved at all over the time I was reviewing the books.</p>
<p>hopefully it is true that the PR is actually harder than the actual test. Maybe I should try the red book.</p>
<p>@kansaskid1 could you send me those as well? </p>
<p>Sure, sunwin3. no problem. PM me</p>
<p>Is there an option to print the online tests or must it be done online </p>
<p>No option to print.</p>
<p>@kansaskid1 Hey could you please send me whatever ACT practice tests you have? Thanks :)</p>
<p>@kansaskid1 me too, if you could, please!!</p>
