<p>Ive been hearing mixed results. Basically, i am taking IIC and the ACT in december, so i'd prefer if someone suggested one book lol. Ive heard the Real ACT is good if you have time? here is my dilemna- English = easy, reading = easy, math = ok/easy, science = horrible.</p>
<p>Would the real act help me more, or the princeton review? thanks</p>
<p>KEVIN, think logically!
Which one is better do you think?
The Real ACT book, with actual ACT tests from the past?
or
Princeton Review, which is not made by the actual people that make the ACT.</p>
<p>You decided (REAL, duh)</p>
<p>well i got the Real but they have like 3 pages on each sction and the rest is the practice tests. I duno i guess im completely not used to this, since for the SAT, there was like 300 pages dedicated to the sections haha</p>
<p>My formula: get Real ACT, Kaplan and McGraw Hill. That way, you have some prep material (Kaplan), some actual tests (Real ACT) and 10 more practice tests (McGraw Hill) to get you into perfect shape.</p>
<p>McGraw hill is only good for those that want to get familiar with the ACT; however, if serious prep is needed, stay away from them; they are too easy and have A LOT OF ERRORS. Secondly, strategies are good to learn, so I suggest you the Princeton Review ACT guidebook. As your learning the strategies, use the REAL ACT guidebook for practice. </p>
<p>The practice tests are not things you really memorize because the recent ACT exams are a lot harder; especially in science.</p>
<p>Princeton Review surprisingly has several errors in its ACT book. I recommend using the Real and then finding a book that actually teaches the strategies and material.</p>
<p>eh i decided to get the real just cause it's not really strategy that brought me down. i just need to practice science i guess and see what's the fastest way to do it</p>
<p>I used barrons and real. Barrons has really good english info stuff. and i think they have good math too (the tests are wicked hard though)</p>
<p>Ummm, other than that, reading and science there arent really any tips except do what is best 4 you</p>
