4.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Kaplan, April 20, 2006

I have tried both the Kaplan and Princeton review ACT 2006 with CD-ROM. In my opinion, the princeton book is way better than kaplan because it has much more time saving strategies; princeton made me go up 5 points higher. However, the CD that comes with this book is not that helpful and using it has been so cumbersome, i gave up. The kaplan CD, on the other hand, is way easier to use and is much better quality.

I think that the science section of this book is not as difficult as the ACT tests are. Otherwise, this contains useful information and good practice tests. I would buy this with the Real ACT Book, though, to make sure to get good science help.

1.0 out of 5 stars Test software is a messy junk., October 27, 2006

NEVER buy this book. The test software is extremery hard to maneuver. It will comsume your precious time and frustrate you.

It can even crash your computer.

You cannot remove it because "Remove GMAT diagnostic." is the only option given and the relevant file is even missing. I do not know how this "GMAT" thing got in.

It is a shame on Princeton Review to publish and sell this kind of junk software.
