<p>I have completed the official ACT Red Book, the PR 1296, and the ACT introduction packet test, and now I have a score of about 32. However, my goal on this test is a 34 at least, and so I have dedicated myself to further studying to achieve my goal. I just went to the Barnes and Nobles and got these three books:</p>
<p>1) Barron's ACT Math and Science workbook
2) Barron's ACT 36
3) Princeton Review Cracking the ACT 2009 edition</p>
<p>What do you guys think of these books? Do you guys think investing my time into these books will prove to benefit me?? I can still return them if you guys say they will not help me.</p>
<p>Books can only go so far… to an extent, the ACT tests years of knowledge and you may not be able to raise it up to a 34. A 32 is very respectable. Go ahead and keep studying/ The more practice the better, but don’t be disappointed if you don’t get 34, but if you do, Congrats!</p>
<p>I guess, I normally make very stupid mistakes and need more practice than anything else. I know I have the intelligence quotient to achieve a perfect score…I just need the right resources??</p>
<p>I heard Princeton has a good guide out there [which you have purchased]. But as Harvard said, the best thing to do is practice! I’ll be taking it for the first time next year and would love a score of 32+ !</p>
<p>Harvard1009-I appreciate your response, however, for someone who is a prospective student at Harvard you should know that Pakistan isn’t in the middle east, it is in the Indian subcontinent. Maybe now, you are a centimeter closer to acceptance? 
</p>
<p>Manu101- Yeah I already finished that book pretty thoroughly, but, I guess it wasn’t enough because I am having trouble actually scoring high.</p>
<p>Does anyone else have any opinions about these book I bought?? Has anyone even used them, and saw results?</p>
<p>Harvard1009-I guess you are correct. </p>
<p>Does anyone have any suggestions for the books I just bought from Barnes and Nobles???</p>
<p>My Brother used Barron’s ACT 36 and he got a score of 34, but he’s pretty smart. If I can remember correctly, he studied two weeks prior to the actual test date and crammed through Barron’s. Next year, when I will hopefully be taking the ACT for the first time, I plan on using that book. And I would agree with Harvard on the username, it’s a tad bit off-setting. But hope that helps and good luck!</p>
<p>Anyone else have any opinions? So far so good! ( I am not going to change my screen name for anyone. Maybe I should change it to NuclearAmerica1??)</p>
<p>I personally wouldn’t use barrons. From my experience with those books, as well as their other ones for SAT2’s they weren’t similar to the tests at all whcih was unfortunate.</p>
<p>I have a question about your screenname! Was NuclearPakistan taken? or did you just like the 1?</p>
<p>hahhaa my brother’s ■■■■■ was NuclearPakistan lol.</p>
