<p>Hello all</p>
<p>I'm taking the ACT next Saturday and intend to study like hell all this week and next...</p>
<p>My desired score is a 30. Way back in april and early may, I was using the Kaplan ACT book, but then school finals came around, became way too involved with them, and now, here I am, 2 weeks away from the ACT and I am in desperate need of review.</p>
<p>So...what's the best book? I've heard that "The REAL ACT" book is good, but remember I have little time to study. I plan on taking multiple practice tests next week anyway...</p>
<p>If you do a quick search, you'll see that the two most recommended books are the official ACT guide and Cracking the ACT from Princeton Review.</p>
<p>I saw princeton and wasnt impressed. The margins were SOOO wide with useless information. It seemed as if the booked lacked content.</p>
<p>I got barrons and so far find it fine.</p>
<p>Get the Real ACT book and start crackin' - and try to finish up the Kaplan book if you haven't already. Barrons is good <em>if</em> you like the overkill approach, but you may not have time to really get into it.</p>
<p>You can definitely improve your score in 2 weeks. Hit it hard and you may never have to see the ACT again...</p>
<p>I got the "amazing" Princeton Review book but its tests so far are really too easy. On the english i got a 31 and on the math i got a 34! That is uncommon for me. Help anyone?</p>
<p>the princeton review has the best tests i think. </p>
<p>the ones in the act real book i still thought were a little easier, as were most books. but princeton always seems to be just rite</p>
<p>So. Is Princeton the best strategy book? I have heard of Kaplan 2006 and people have noted that it worked fairly well for them. </p>
<p>The Best Tests Book is the REAL ACT Guide Book? I dont like the fact that the testmakers book do not give any helpful strategies except for accurate practice tests.</p>
<p>I have like about 4 days to actually prepare for this ACT on June 9th. Anyone want to offer me any tips on which book to use for reading/science? I think all I need to do is review for Science in PR hopefully and get above a 34. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>in my opinion, the real ACT book > the real SAT book. SAT was just a bunch of useless, technical mumbo jumbo telling us things we don't need to know. ACT book actually gives helpful advice.</p>
