MCGraw Hill's 10 ACt practice test experiences?

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>So i heard from some people here that it is not a very good book. please tell me about your experience if you have used it. It makes me kind of nervous that I used that to prepare for the ACT this saturday and hear that the tests on it are very unrealistic.
thanks for any input!</p>

<p>I have the book and the tests are unrealistic in the sense of science and some english questions. In science, there are questions like those word charts that you will never see. English is kinda weird. I gotten 12ish wrong on the sparknots(very good recommended) and 15ish on the MC Hill. AFter i got 10 wrong in MC and like 6 wrongs in spark notes. its a good help and reviews many concepts. Reading, there is sometimes a essay with 75 lines (normal is about 85). Math is good. AParrt form that its all fine.
i would suggest do a full set of ACT from the red book or from these guides from pervious years everyday till the day before the test. here:</p>

<p>thanks man! i often hear from alot of people that the math on MCGRAW hill is alot easier than actual ACT math and i also found this through experience but science, english and reading, i don’t know much about. Also should i expect a lower score on actual ACT than what i get on MCGRAW hill tests?</p>

<p>Easyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy</p>

<p>It’s easy, but at least it provides basic knowledge and better answer keys.</p>

<p>Well math is a bit easier i would say but not ALOT. TPR math i feel is a bit harder, just do the practices in MC Hill for practicing xD and take review tests in these days before the exam</p>

<p>I tutor act all the time. This is a good book but Barron’s is harder and better</p>
