Prep books for above average scorers?

Test Preparation ACT Preparation
1

<p>Hey guys, I'm planning to buy prep books that would enhance my above average abilities in the ACT. I have bought the following:</p>

<p>Barron's 36
Kaplan Premier ACT
Red Book
McGrawHills 6 practice tests
Princeton review
Princeton review 1296 (which I think I'm gonna return)
Barron's Math and Science (this as well)</p>

<p>Can anyone give me critiques of these books? I was foolish enough to buy all these books, but I'm afraid they might be mediocre and target those who score lower. Any very good, engaging books that will improve my scores (30+) in all areas or specific areas. I noticed they usually have math with science, and English with reading. Please give me your experiences with these or other books and if they really helped you at all. Thank you.</p>

<p>I own the red book, cracking the act by PR and Barron 36.</p>

<p>I feel that the PR book is unusually engaging for a prep book. It really gets the point across without difficult words. I found that it is especially helpful for English and Science.</p>

<p>Barron’s, on the other hand, is a tad too technical and I only bought it because I thought it offered me a better strategy for reading than PR did. If you’re aiming for a high score (as the book’s title suggests) you can get that because Barron’s books have a reputation for over-prepping.</p>
