<p>Can you guys recommend ACT books!
Please give me some hints and tips</p>
<p>From my experience and general concensus on this board, the Real ACT book made by the ACT company is the best for practice tests as the tests are actual retired tests, and Princeton Review has the best content as far as advice goes.</p>
<p>I didn't use either of those books, I just used the green book in the ACT packet because I didn't want to spend any money, but from what most people I know say those two are the best.</p>
<p>I second 19382's comment word for word. The Real Act Guide for practice tests, PR for content.</p>
<p>how much science does a person need to know in order to get a good score on the science part of the ACT? In what subjects as well. CAn someone pst what is needed in order to get a good score on the science section. Thank you.</p>
<p>you dont need to know anything.</p>
<p>Science was SOOOOOOOOOOO easy, I got straight B's in HS for science and got a 35 on the section, it's common sense, not knowledge about chem and biology, stuff like that, rather just reading graphs from what I remember. But i'm not the smartest kid in the world, and I got a 35, and no, I didn't study.</p>
<p>How true is it that the science section is more about analyzing graphs and bars rather than actual science knowledge?</p>
<p>It's all graphs.</p>
<p>You don't need to have any outside knowledge of chemistry etc. I've gotten As in all my science classes in high school and the science section is by far my poorest section on the ACT. Don't know why, it just is.</p>
<p>And about the books - I like Princeton Review. The English section gets very technical, which is helpful if you've forgotten things like usage of colons/semicolons etc... geometry overview is good as well. However, I thought their method for reading the passages in the Reading section was extremly time consuming and inefficient. That's just me, though.</p>
<p>Definitely agree --- PR + real ACT tests, perfect combo.</p>
