I AM NEVER DISAPPOINTED IN THE PREPARATION MANUALS PUBLISHED BY BARRON. MY STUDENTS TELL ME THE MATERIAL IS THE MOST CHALLENGING AND THEY FEEL WELL PREPARED WHEN THEY TAKE THE TEST. THE EXPLANATIONS PROVIDED WITH THE ANSWERS ARE VERY GOOD. I LIKE THE FACT THAT LETTERS ARE GIVEN FOR THE MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS SO THAT THE STUDENT IS ABLE TO TRY AGAIN ON THE MISSED ITEM BEFORE GOING TO THE EXPLANATION. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT RESOURCE.

We use Barrons SAT for our In-Home Tutors business but based on recommendations from our tutors have stopped using Barrons ACT. They prefer Princeton Review -- better strategy, more practice tests and examples.

1.0 out of 5 stars PASS on this book!!!, October 5, 2010

This review is from: Barron's ACT (Paperback)

Yuck! I bought this book and found it totally useless. This book is very poorly written. The questions in this book are nothing like the ones that are found on the ACT. I would recommend the McGraw-Hill series to study for the ACT.
