<p>I finished all the tests in the Blue Book back in June. I suppose I could go back and do some again, but what other book should I use for the best, most accurate practice tests?</p>
<p>Also, any links to official practice tests? I found 2 for the ACT that were given out in those booklets you get when u register.</p>
<p>hackman: Are those PR tests fairly similar to the real thing? I bought the PR ACT tests, and they were pretty bad. The underlining was misprinted, the science section was totally bogus...they asked you to draw conclusions from nothing.</p>
<p>^ I do not believe this to be true. There is always gain from doing more practice tests; experience is infinite albeit providing diminishing returns each time. Following what you say is to suggest that after 8 practice tests, one cannot improve their score from further practice.</p>
<p>quadomatic...yeah, the PR tests were very similar to the real SAT, for the ACT too. They're the only tests I did outside of official tests, but they were pretty accurate.</p>
<p>If he's done all the blue book tests, how has he maxed out all he can gain from practice? Didn't you use previous PSATs and previous QASes to practice with as well Ashraf? Don't act like such an elitist by saying he's "maxed out" or "capped".</p>
<p>Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

<p>^ Ashraf is not trying to be an elitist; that is just what he believes.</p>
<p>Lamentably, I hold a radically different perspective. All those stories and anecdotes you hear about from your parents or friends about somebody working relentlessly on something before becoming successful must derive from somewhere. It is with utmost conviction that I believe there is no maximal "capping out" from practice. After all, perfect practice makes perfect but since one can never be perfect, practice has infinite gains.</p>
<p>I would not be so hasty to assume Ashraf is being elitist; just because he holds a different viewpoint doesn't mean he is trying to patronize or condescend people who contend differently. The entire predicament parallels that of religion -- except we obviously don't kill in the name of it.</p>
