<p>Hello everyone! Basically, I am not the best test taker due to test-anxiety. However, I did take a practice ACT English test at home, without writing, and got a 27..so I guess that's not too bad. My final goal score for the ACT is a 27-29, of course anything above that would be great too! I know that I am perfectly capable of achieving these scores, as my peers with the same intelligence as me are reaching them. Simply, how do I do it? What test prep book would be best for me? I have Barron's at home, but I got the 27 with the real red act book at a friends house. Thanks in advance for answering my questions. I greatly apprecieate it :) I am determined to reach my goals! :)</p>
<p>Work through Princeton Review’s Cracking the ACT and then do the practice tests in The Real ACT Prep Guide (The Red Book). Using this study method I was able to score a 27. </p>

<p>Good luck studying for the ACT and I hope you reach your desired score!</p>
<p>Thanks! Other posts are greatly appreciated too :)</p>
<p>I had a 28 before I took the kaplan class. It is not that cheap, around 800 dollars, but you learn enough strategies and get enough practice that it makes it worth it. I got a 34 on the June ACT just by doing all their work. The ACT is a simple test content wise. Kaplan will make you realize that, brush up your skills, and then give you plenty of practice. Your scores will improve if you work hard during the class.</p>
