1.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT the book you want to study for the ACT!, September 15, 2003

This review is from: 30 Days to the ACT Assessment, 1st ed (Arco 30 Days to the ACT Assessment) (Paperback)

At first you may look at this, and think, Arco is a major company, and this book should be reliable. It is not. The tips it gives you at the beginning are ok, but it goes downhill from there.
In the English section, questions seem all right. But in the Math section, some of the questions have no answer which is correct, and some just make no sense at all. The Reading Comprehension section is decent, but the Science Reasoning sample test is simply AWFUL. The answer explanations make no sense at all, and at many points, they omit diagrams that are needed to answer the questions. They omit at least 1 flowchart and several tables needed.
This book is definately not recommended, unless you want to be confused and get lower marks on the ACT!!

This review is from: 30 Days to the ACT Assessment, 1st ed (Arco 30 Days to the ACT Assessment) (Paperback)

This is the only book available to me from my libarary when I took the test. I didn't have a lot of time, so the lesson a day was a hugeeeee help! While other reviews say the practice tests are terrible, I skippied those and just read the lessons, strategies, etc. Overall, it must have helped because I got a 27. The English and Reading strategies helped so much I had extra time left over on those two (Reading I recieved 31, and English 29). Use it!
