Not good for kids with ADHD:
I tried to use this but the book was super thick and I just couldn't get into it, I used an online interactive study guide instead and I scored a 26 on my ACT. My sister did well with this book, the only difference between us is I have ADHD and she doesnt.
Intimidating:
From the picture this books looks manageable, but when I received it it was HUGE. I have yet to open it because there is so much information (which is good or bad). If your looking for a really extensive ACT book here you go. If not get the CliffsTestPrep ACT (Cliffs Test Prep ACT).
The best book for ACT preperation:
I bought 4 books to prepare for my ACT exam (Princeton Review (Cracking the ACT, 2007 Edition), Kaplan ACT 2007 Comprehensive Program, McGraw-Hill's 10 ACT Practice Tests, and The Real ACT Prep Guide). I found the Real ACT Prep Guide to be the best one as it has three real practice exams at the end (as close as u can get to the real exam).As far as the preparation material provided for preparation, it is not as good as Kaplan's or Princeton's. i would rate the four books as follows: 1.The Real ACT Prep... more info
WARNING: this is the old edition--new edition out 12/07:
This edition is two years old, so don't buy this one but do get this book! Amazon has two listings for this book--one is for the new edition. I agree with the other reviewers that the primary benefit of this book is the 3 practice tests with detailed answer explanations provided. The book offers limited advice on how to best improve on its various sections--especially the science section where many students feel extremely rushed. But the practice tests are worth the price of the book.
