If you want a good summary of what concepts are frequently tested, you will not find it this book. Nothing improves your scores more that practice with the real thing. This is only book that has real tests from the people who make the real tests. The strategies in to book are not practical. The explanations are also excellent. You must get this book for the real practice. If you follow the advice in the book, you will never finish the real ACT test on time. For concepts and strategies get, DISSECTING THE ACT 2.0: ACT TEST PREPARATION ADVICE OF A PERFECT SCORER or ACT TEST PREP WITH REAL ACT QUESTIONS This nice little book fills in the weakness of the official book.
But if you're looking to learn good strategies, this is not the resource for you. I tutor students in ACT prep and this is the only workbook I use. I like it because it has real ACT tests from the past, so my students feel confident walking into the test for real. I would go with Princeton Review's smaller book, I forget the exact title, but it outlines ten survival tips for acing the ACT. That book is very good for those purposes.
I really like the product. I think it will help a lot on the ACT test.
My daughter used this book to help her prepare for the ACT test. She indicated that is was very helpful.
I bought this book for my son a week before the test (he suddenly decided to do it on standby registration), he did all the practice tests in this book, and he got 35 composite score at real test. But his writing of essay was terrible, it had nothing to do with the book. He told me the test scope was in line with what this book contains.
