Red Book - is it accurate?

<p>I know it's the official ACT book, but I'm nervous that it will be easier than the actual ACT.</p>

<p>How accurate were your red book scores were in comparison to your actual ACT? Thanks :]</p>

<p>Before I took my first ACT, I took the Official Study Guide 2010 practice test (it’s that little packet that you can pick up from your counselor’s office) and also took the first 2 tests in the Red Book. I scored a 33, 31, and 32 respectively. On the actual ACT (June 2011), I got a 33.</p>

<p>So I’d say that they’re pretty accurate, but if I remember correctly, the math on the June ACT murdered my face :o.</p>

<p>I know what you mean about the June ACT Math lol.</p>

<p>Some administrations of the ACT or easier than others (in my opinion), but the curve usually accounts for this. I think the Red Book is the best prep you can find outside prep classes.</p>

<p>Im hoping its pretty accurate. Taken 3 redbook tests so far, scored 31, 32, 32. Superscored i would have a 33, so hopefully tomorrows test isnt too bad :P</p>

<p>While somewhat comforting because I will probably do well on English/reading in that case, I am now even more concerned about math. This whole test thing has ruined my mood tonight! I can’t do anything but think about tomorrow morning and worry about how bad I may or may not do. :P</p>

<p>I got a confidence boost today taking my last practice test by scoring a 36 in math. I consider myself a very strong math student, but somehow I ALWAYS manage to get 1 question wrong, and never get a perfect. Happens on both SAT and ACT. Always mess one thing up. But this time I broke the chain, so im hoping tomorrow is a good day for me :D</p>

<p>Wow! I’ll be truly lucky if I break 30! I never was the math type. Good luck on the test tomorrow, I’m sure you’ll do great. :)</p>

<p>thanks :slight_smile: you too</p>

<p>Yeah for me the red book seemed awfully easy, I’ve been averaging 34-35 composite for each test which is strange because my highest SAT score was a 1960. Haha oh well ;)</p>

<p>Good luck everyone, and thanks for the reassurance :)</p>
