McGraw Hill s 10 ACT Practice Tests Second Edition McGraw Hill s 10 Practice Acts
>> PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE
The main thing I was looking for when I went looking for ACT Prep Books were practice tests They are no doubt the best way to improve your score on the ACT I knew that The Real ACT Prep Guide The Only Official Prep Guide From The Makers Of The ACT which I also bought was the only way that I was going to be able to get real ACT tests that had been used before These are of course the best tests you can take as other practice tests can sometimes be too easy or even too hard

I went looking on Amazon for some more practice books and this one literally jumped out at me on the list TEN ACT PRACTICE TESTS TEN TEN I knew I had to get this book if it was going to give me ten whole practice tests that I could work through during the the three to four times I was planning on taking the ACT So I bought it and I would advise that you do the same

The great thing about this book is that it has 10 whole practice tests I would definitely say that they are a little on the easier side compared to the real thing but if you want practice then its worth it for the fact that it does simulate the Real ACT

For an example of how it is easier than the Real ACT I bought this book and got an ENGLISH 33 MATH 29 READING 31 SCIENCE 31 COMPOSITE 31 That made me pretty happy as I was aiming for the 30s However when I took the actual test I got an ENGLISH 33 MATH 29 READING 26 SCIENCE 27 COMPOSITE 29 As you can see my reading an science scores were significantly higher on these practice tests than on the Real ACT and my composite went down by two points So in general I would say that these two sections reading science are easier on these than the real thing I ve even taken a practice reading out of this book and gotten a 35 that gave me a real shock and then got a 25 on the actual test that shocked me even more However in general your practice composites will be within 1 3 points of your actual

Overall whether you re shooting for the teens the low mid or high twenties or even the low thirties this book is worth the 10 or so bucks However if you re looking to achieve anywhere from a 33 36 this book isn t going to do much for you and instead I would recommend Barron s ACT 36 Aiming for the Perfect Score

SO if you re looking for some decent practice tests and NOT a learn how to do well on the ACT book then this book will pretty much do it for you It s got 10 full practice tests along with decent explanations of the answers


NOTE If you are the kind of person that generally scores in the high twenties to low thirties then DO NOT follow the scoring procedures in this book Instead count how many you got right and go to the scoring tables in The Real ACT Prep Guide The Only Official Prep Guide From The Makers Of The ACT and find where your raw score matches on an average of the three sub scores it gives you there This will be MUCH more accurate

>> Filled with innaccuracies
I am an ACT Tutor who used this book for students This edition is chock full of discrepencies and is very poorly edited The answers keys are often just wrong or the explanation offered for the answer doesn t make sense It s a shame because this is the only book that offers 10 tests
>> Waste of Money
I have done almost every test in the book and have found it to be extremely inaccurate Some questions have multiple answers and some don t even make sense I have scored 30 in every other ACT book but only a 25 in this one The English sections feature run ons and incorrect usage of commas while the math section is way too easy to be a real ACT test The science is also too easy Overall the book is full of errors and cannot help anyone raise their score Use THE REAL ACT PREP GUIDE made by the official ACT makers
