For practice, he did a couple of pages from one test per night. My son used this book to study for the ACT. He said the practice tests were similar to the actual test material. Then for the last two tests he did a full section and timed himself on each section. His composite score on the actual test was 32 due to practicing the tests in the book until he became comfortable with them.
This book has three real ACT tests form the makers of ACT test. For content and strategy consider getting Dissecting the ACT:Dissecting the ACT: A Unique Student Perspective on the ACT or ACT Test Prep with Real ACT questions. The rest of the stuff in the book is not worth the time.
Nothing will improve your scores more than practicing with the real test, figuring out what you are doing wrong and changing the way you take the test. No list of math formulas you need to memorize. All three of tests have very good explanations.
There in no good summery of concepts you need to know. This makes this book essential. In my opinion, the practice tests and explanations are the only worthwhile things about the book.
No useful strategies. These two books are all that you need.
Even though I can't get my daughter to open the book, it appears to fit the description.
The whole experience was very good. I would definitely buy using the exact same service.
She consistently aced the practice test problems easily, but not so on the actual test. My daughter just took the ACT after working through this book. She found the English and science portions helpful, but the math presented in this book was not anywhere near the level of the problems on the actual test. The English and science portions were an accurate reflection of actual test level. This guide also did not cover the writing section at all (which is optional on the actual test, but was my daughter's worst area by a long shot - it would help to have more guidance in that area in the prep book).
