Book Reviews of Cracking the ACT, 2008 Edition (College Test Prep)
Book Review: Reviewing A+, "Practice tests" F-
Summary: 2 Stars
When i got this book i thought it was going to help me a lot when i took the ACT in april, it didn't. when i actually took the test that april morning many of the question were VERY different from the ones given in the "practice tests" in the book. The ironic part is that in the beginning of this book the author says (I'm paraphrasing here) "You can trust us, our "practice tests" are heavily based on the real thing unlike other review books" Looks like they should have taken their own advice
I would highly suggest other review books.
The Real ACT Prep Guide: The Only Official Prep Guide From The Makers Of The ACT (Real Act Prep Guide) Is a great book for practice tests, but the review material is few and far between, and it just got updated in 2008
Kaplan ACT 2008 Comprehensive Program (Kaplan Act) or Kaplan ACT 2008 Premier Program (w/ CD-ROM) (Kaplan Act (Book & CD-Rom)) This is a great book for review and their practice tests are quite good(compared to the "practice tests" in this book anything that actually resembles the real thing is at least half decent)
i've tried both of these alternatives and i did really well on the June ACT (not to brag but i got a 28 composite score which is 93 percentile :) )
