<p>in princteon review, it tells you to read the roots of the questions real fast, and know the "key words" of the question</p>
<p>then skim the passage and underline those words.</p>
<p>the thing is...</p>
<p>the ACT doesn't have many of those "key words" in the quesitons. Instead, it will have generalized questions. with keywords in the STEMs of the questions</p>
<p>The practice tests of princeton Review ACT in the reading section all have key words in the question
-because it's their strategy...and it's a helpful strategy too...except the REAL ACT doesnt have those types of questions</p>
<p>any comments?</p>
<p>I agree. I think the REAL ACT book is much better. I usually don't pay attention to PR's stragies anyways, since I'm convinced there just made to add bulk to the book so they can make you pay more</p>
<p>they alter the type of questions, just to "fit" more with their strategy!!</p>
<p>Yeah, I've noticed that too.</p>
<p>I don't know...the science passage, for example. Quickly underlying some of the technical terms referred to would've helped me cut a minute or two as I frantically searched for what a medullary canal was...or something like that; can't remember the word.</p>
<p>Yes. The technical terms in the last section weren't too terribly fun. I honestly think I spent over 15 minutes on that last passage. Evil.</p>
