<p>Hi everybody. I'm taking the ACT for the first time on April fourth and shooting for a 31+.
I have purchased the Real ACT book (red) and Barron's ACT prep book. My range was a 29-31 on all three of the Real ACT practice tests, but I just took the Barron's diagnostic test and got a 26 Composite (E:28 M:28 R:27 S:20-yuck). I hear mixed reviews about Barron's prep book, but it seems to be extremlely detailed and has really helped me in polishing my math skills. Now my question is: Is the science on the actual ACT test as hard as Barron's? Judging from my scores, do you think it is possible to get like a 32?</p>
