>> Answers don t match tests
The Princeton Review should be embarrassed to have its name on this book Not only are there outright errors in the answers several of the sample tests have answer keys that clearly do not match the test printed
I help kids prepare for standardized testing and have used other Princeton Review books successfully but this book is a disgrace If you are looking for extra practice tests I would strongly recommend finding a different test prep book
>> Decent book for visual learners
This book contains a number of sample sample tests and fairly complete reviews of many of the answers It is wonderful tool for visual learners My daughter however is not a very visual learner I give it three stars for us because I still ended up needing additional tutoring to supplement the book which I was hoping to avoid I suppose it is a good book insofar as it provides repetition of sample test questions to boost the students awareness of question types to expect on the actual test Anyway she is retaking the ACT test as I type this review and I am hoping that between this book and the additional tutoring that I am done with any ACT expenses and hassle So much riding on a standardized test that really does not always properly reflect the knowledge of a student But I digress
>> Don t hesitate like I did
This book is so fantastic I wasn t sure what to expect because there wasn t as much information or reviews as I m used to I was very uneasy about this purchase Wow I really wasted my time This book is amazing The 400 pages are full of ACT questions and answers short listed and explained As of yet I have not seen any tips or tricks just cold hard practice tests and solid detailed instruction in the answers section The pages are NOT made of regular book paper which may be a turn off for some the pages aren t white or laminated They are kind of light brown and a tiny bit scratchy but nothing to complain about You can put your answers on a different paper and take the tests over and over again Which is quite nice
I have not fully examined all of this book I only got it this morning but what I have experienced far exceeds my expectations There are four tests for each section plus writing and essays And like I mentioned before there are short listed answers 1 a 2 d 3 e ect and DETAILED long answers 1 a because you re trying to find x you must first it is such a wonderful aspect I am so thrilled with this and feel that if I study from it often I ll get a good score on my ACT Again DO NOT hesitate
