The strategies were very helpful. The author clearly knows the exam and cares about student success.

The strategies and techniques in this book are excellent! My son's ACT score improved significantly!! The practice questions are spot-on! We are forever grateful to the authors of this terrific book! Wonderful, thank you so much!

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.

Like said in some of the previous reviews, this book has so many errors that it is neer useless. The math sections have problems that have incorrect answers, incorrect wording, some questions even have answers that are not even to that question, and some parts of the answer sections are completely missing. Some of the answer guides completely break mathmatical rules, such as multiplication before addition, rendering their answers completely wrong. The cd that comes with this book has running problems also, I book an entire practice test (over three hours of work) and got an error when I finished and was going to view the results. This happend twice before I gave up. I state again, do not waiste your money on this book.

I bought this book in preparation for an upcoming ACT test only to find that even in just the Diagnostic Assessment Test there were numerous errors. I was bewildered by the thought that there was actually a test prep book out there with information that can easily mislead the average person. But even though the questions may be faulty themselves, the book still does contain advice that can help improve one's ACT scores.

I was using this book to help students prepare for the math section of the ACT. In my first day of preparation I found over a dozen errors in the math tests alone. There were problems with multiple correct answers listed, problems with no correct answers listed, and erroneous reasons given as explanations. This is the worst ACT prep book that I have seen
