SAT Books for the ACT?

<p>Can I use SAT books (barron's 2400, grubers, official sat study guide) to study for the ACT?</p>

<p>Also, if I only read the ACT official guide and nail that, do you think I can get a 34+? Rough guess, please.</p>

<p>I've recently decided to take the ACT instead of the SAT Reasoning.</p>

<p>Only insofar as doing well in school subjects helps you study for the ACT too.</p>

<p>Read a good ACT guide(I think I used Kaplan, might have been Princeton Review), and know the stuff, and you'll do fine.</p>

<p>If you are a generally good test taker, and don't stress out for it, you should do well.</p>

<p>I would recommend an ACT specific guide though.</p>

<p>If you read and do very well with the guide(and are a good test taker, and don't stress out) I'd guess 33+, so you should be good.</p>

<p>I wouldn't use SAT books for SAT prep, because they don't test the same things for the most part, and the ACT isn't loaded with stupid tricks like the SAT. For ACT, you need to know your fundamentals and work on timing, timing, timing.</p>

<p>So I would only use ACT materials to make the most of your time and not confuse yourself.</p>
