1.0 out of 5 stars Too Many Errors, April 24, 2008

By 

Michael A. Walker - See all my reviews

This review is from: McGraw-Hill''s ACT, 2008 Edition (Paperback)

This book is very frustrating. There are many errors in the practice Math section that make it difficult for someone who is trying to brush up on their math skills to follow. There are also a fair number of errors in the practice tests on the CD as well. Not to mention that the program errors out sometime when you go from section to section, forcing you to start from scratch.

Very disappointing and unacceptable for a book that costs $32. Save your time and money and buy a different prep book.
