<p>I just took practice test one, and I thought that the math was a lot harder than the real ACT. I got a 31 on the real test, but in the PR book I got a 26. I ran out of time, but I usually have time left on the real test.
I did a lot better on the practice test in both reading and science, then the real ACT.
My english score was the same.</p>
<p>I will finish the book by Friday, and hopefully I will be prepared enough for Saturday.</p>
<p>I am disappointed in all the errors.</p>

Question #32
F. No change
B. neighbor; named
C. neighbor named
D. neighbor named,</p>
<p>It is suppose to be F, G, H, J.</p>
<p>There are many more errors that makes the test distracting to take. No wonder why it was $13.</p>
<p>lol,I bought this online a few weeks ago, but I haven’t found the time to use it. School is too stressful.</p>
<p>Princeton Review always makes its tests a tad harder than the real thing in all of its books. You can tack on one or two raw ACT points onto your score to get your real score.</p>
<p>This book helps, for the English section at least.</p>
<p>The 1st time I took the ACT I got a 28 in English.
I then took a Practice English test in the Real ACT Prep Book, and got a 29.</p>
<p>Then the 2nd time I took the ACT I got a 26 in English.</p>
<p>Yesterday and today I took 3 practice tests in the 1,296 ACT Practice Book and I got a 30, then a 29, then a 27.</p>
<p>I just took another English practice test in the Red Real ACT Book and I got a 33.
Even though my scores digressed in the PR book, it essentially helped when I used the Real ACT Book.</p>
<p>Hopefully on Saturday the same improvement will show.</p>
<p>I am trying to get some decent prep for the Science section, but this PR book continues to provide me with wrong answers.</p>
<p>I have already used up all the Science tests in the Real ACT book, so now I have nothing to go to for practice.
Are there any tests online that are as real as the Real ACT book that I can take?</p>
<p>I did way worse in science on this PR than on the Real ACT book…
I’m afraid this isnt going to be accurate…
I’m thinking about returning this one and getting another one instead (test is this Saturday!)…i have no idea if it’s accurate/good though because I’ve only worked on science in this one…any other suggestions?</p>
<p>I agree with whoever said they are trying to take a Barron’s approach. However, I believe practice tests should represent the real thing, not make it harder.</p>
<p>haha. that was me! hehe. (about the comment) </p>
<p>but the book is overall okay, there is enough prep in it that could be used instead of always using the red book. it is an okay substitute, one of the better ones i’ve found. </p>
<p>but i’m okay with this book, i probably will sell it to some freshmen who’ll need the book or something once i get a good score … which is hopefully this saturday!</p>
<p><em>crossing fingers for 32-34</em></p>
<p>This book sucks.</p>
<p>I know. My English score from Cracking the ACT to the 1296 book dropped from a 34 to a 26.</p>
<p>I managed to get a 35 in English on the last test of the 1296 Book. Then right after I took a test in the Real ACT Book and I got a 32.</p>
<p>I caught my mistakes, and hopefully I will do well tomorrow. The English section is the only one giving me a decent composite score.</p>
<p>I did the English section in the first test of the 1296 PR book and got a 34.
It doesn’t seem to be harder…</p>
<p>This book sucks.</p>
<p>This book actually makes you read some stuff in the science section (the horror!). idk, most of the science seems pretty good for the most part. haven’t tried the other subjects, but at least the passages in the reading section actually have between 80-100 lines like the Real ACT, unlike McGraw-Hill, which has between 65-80. Overall I recommend it.</p>
