-- Manage time effectively with a detailed 2-week, calendar-format study plan

-- Review and reinforce key concepts by studying the explanatory answers
-- Develop test-taking strategies: how and when to guess, how to eliminate wrong answers, and what to expect on test day

This review is from: Peterson's Panic Plan for the Act in Just 2 Weeks: In Just 2 Weeks Sharpen Skills With a Down-To-The Wire Action Plan, Build Test Taking Skills for Act Success, Boost Act Scores With Proven (1st ed) (Paperback)

I purchased this book for my daughter after she received a disappointing 26 on her ACT - not horrible, but barely good enough for a highly selective university. She retook the test after following the instructions in this book and taking the sample tests. Usually when a person retakes their ACT, if they change their score at all, it goes up or down by 1 point. My daughter's retake score was a 30!!! She said the book made her much more ready and relaxed about taking the test.

I would recommend this book to anyone who only has a couple of weeks to review. It is not indepth, but you don't need a thorough explanation if you are paniced. I had a little fun with the test and skipped all the usual advice you've heard a hundred times. It will do the trick!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to brush up in a hurry!!!, November 22, 2001
