McGraw Hill s Conquering the ACT Math
>> Highly recommended for ACT Math review
I scanned through the ACT review math books before deciding to purchase this one I am glad I did This book provides a full range of the math problems on the ACT test and also provides full explanations of the answers if you come across a problem you just can t figure out I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is planning on taking the ACT test
>> Love this book but a bit easy
I think this is a great book for ACT math prep It has 5 practice tests that all seem well written It breaks down the math section into major topics pre algebra algebra geometry trig etc then covers specific types of problems within each major topic There are mini tests over each category too which I think is really helpful I ve pretty much used the book cover to cover I have found 2 errors though and it doesn t cover every math topic you need to know for the test
March 2010 update I now think this book is a little too easy especially for those looking for a top score say 30 and up I still think it s an ideal book for those looking for scores in the mid to maybe upper twenties or below though The questions aren t quite as hard as those in the recent official ACT preparation booklets so I think the scaled scores from here would be a little inflated
>> Wonderful
I purchased this book because math is my weakest subject on the act I was scoring a 16 on the act test I need a 20 for the promise scholarship in WV it pays for your tuition I just read some of the tips and nothing else and it raised my score 1 point to a 17 Finally this summer I have used this book almost weekly to get ready for the ACT test in September
When I took the first diagnostic exam in the book it said an 16 I am on my second test and I received a 20 i am so excited because there is 3 mores tests to go and I think I will be able to raise it to maybe a 22 that way I feel like I can get at lest a 20 on the real test In September I will tell you how it went
Not only did I use it to practice fort the ACT but I also used it to practice for the COMPASS Math Test I started with a 17 on the COMPASS and raised it to a 44 I no longer would have to take a non credited math class in college In my high school I need a 49 on the COMPASS test to taker College Algebra I think with a little more practice I will get it before school starts
I strongly suggest this book
