<p>Alright so i was focusing all my attention to my SAT II's and SAT I and neglected the ACT. However this week i have 3 finals (last one being thursday) and will probably not study for ACT until thursday night. Can someone please suggest to me a study plan for two days? I have PR and REAL ACT.</p>
<p>study both, those books are the ones im studying
PR really helps, and i think its why i did so well last time, just do the practice exams as if they were real and understand the timings for each section if thats a problem</p>
<p>if they force you to stay in the room the whole time bring your books with you to each final and when your done with the test study in there until they let you leave</p>
<p>PR is really good
i didnt find the real ACT helpful except for the practice tests
i found that the grammar rules they covered for the writing is really useful</p>
<p>Here's your plan:</p>
<ol>
<li>Read the tips on a particular section in PR.</li>
<li>Answer the practice test on PR and Real ACT.</li>
<li>Repeat the above steps for the next section.</li>
<li>Continue doing this until Sat.</li>
<li>Pray even if you've never pray in your life.</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks for all your input fellas</p>
<p>Don't read the tips for reading in PR, or science.</p>
<p>All you need to do for reading is read the passage quickly while comprehending what you're reading, and then answer questions. You should be able to answer most questions without referring back to the passage. (google sparknotes ACT strategy, and read up on their reading chapters---ch.12 & 13.)</p>
<p>As for Science, PR's science will kick your a$$ more than likely, LOL. Just take a lot of science practice tests...there's really no source that'll prepare you for it. I advise you to not waste your time reading all the text when you take the science.</p>
<p>PR is excellent for Math & English. Read the tips/strats in there, and then take a practice test. Review your answers to find your weaknesses, and perhaps study a little more on those weaknesses. Take another practice test. </p>
<p>I took a math last night, and it wasn't good. I'm reviewing currently, so I'll update to see how many points my score increased (I'm reviewing w/ PR).</p>
<p>For english, I used PR and my score went from 31 to 34.</p>
<p>Well, I just got a 28 on math. Went from a 23-28 in the math section.</p>
<p>I may get a 30! Woohoo!</p>
<p>Did anyone think PR's second math test was much easier than the first?</p>
<p>I thought they were the same but is it me or is PR's English and Science sections much easier than the real thing?</p>
<p>I think PR's section for English is the same.</p>
<p>For Science...I think they're a lot harder (on the actual ACT, I've gotten a 23 & 23; on PR's, I got a 20 & a 20). Then, after taking PRs, I took the science out of the booklet you get when you sign up and I got a 26 (only missed 8).</p>
<p>So, yeah. A 20 to a 26. PR's owned me.</p>
<p>Is Barron's any good? That's the book I've been using to study.</p>
<p>Barron's = crap for SAT/ACT/MCAT/PCAT/TOEFL/etc.</p>
<p>They over-prepare you on one section and under-prepare you on the others. Their tests are nowhere in comparison to the real exam. How do they stay in the prep business when they don't have a clue?</p>
<p>^ I actually think the ACT was easier than their tests. Oh well, too late to go and buy more books. Hopefully I get at least a 30.</p>
<p>Do you guys think it's best to do as many practice tests as possible? I did one yesterday, and I was planning on doing one tomorrow. Would it be better if I did one today as well?</p>
<p>circumlocution2, how do you think basketball players become good shooters? They just do it once and they instantly become deadly from three-point range? Or how about those guitarists? They just pick up the guitar once and then do a major show the next day?</p>
<p>Come on.</p>
<p>^ yeah, okay. This is my third time, which is why I don't really care. I read every single word the the PR book before my second time, so I didn't really know what else to do before tomorrow.</p>
