<p>I took the Sparknotes practice test today and the math seemed extremely easy. Those of you who are familiar with the Sparknotes book, how does the math compare to the actual test?</p>
<p>I found Sparknotes (not only the ACT book, but also the SAT II Subject test books) to be very easy compared with the actual test. I have the Sparknotes ACT book, which was all that I used to prep the first time I took the test. I killed the English/reading sections, but was killed myself by the math/science sections. (Though that was half to be expected because I hadn't had much math up until that point.) Yeah, it is better to go with Barrons for math (it over prepares you, but I would rather be over prepared than under prepared) or PR and Real ACT Prep for general prep.</p>
<p>*On a side note, NEVER get Sparknotes for subject test prep. I prepped with the Bio book after completing College Biology with an A+ and got a major butting kicking. I was doing killer on the practice tests, but the real test was at least ten times more difficult than the practice tests. So yeah, I pretty much have a vendetta going on against Sparknotes now...</p>
