5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book!!, May 14, 2009
This review is from: 1,296 ACT Practice Questions (College Test Preparation) (Paperback)
I took the ACT once and i got a 26 then I started to use the Ten ACT Practice tests book from McGraw-Hill and i still got a 26 the next time i took the ACT. I bought the 1,296 ACT Practice questions from the Princeton Review and it was the best $12 dollars i ever invested into anything. The book had many tests and these tests were very similar (if not more difficult) to the real ACT than any other books I've used. The book also provides great explanations to the answers, better than any other book I've used. After using this book i rose my ACT score up 4 points to a 30. This book is a great buy and is extremely helpful to anyone who is taking the ACT.
A+ rating!

Don't hesitate like I did., June 18, 2009
This review is from: 1,296 ACT Practice Questions (College Test Preparation) (Paperback)
This book is so fantastic! I wasn't sure what to expect because there wasn't as much information or reviews as I'm used to. I was very uneasy about this purchase. Wow, I really wasted my time. This book is amazing! The 400+ pages are full of ACT questions and answers (short listed and explained) As of yet, I have not seen any "tips or tricks" just cold-hard practice tests (and solid, detailed instruction in the answers section). The pages are NOT made of regular book paper (which may be a turn-off for some...the pages aren't white or laminated. They are kind of light brown and a tiny bit "scratchy" but nothing to complain about). You can put your answers on a different paper and take the tests over and over again (Which is quite nice).
I have not fully examined all of this book, (I only got it this morning) but what I have experienced far-exceeds my expectations. There are four tests for each section (plus writing and essays). And like I mentioned before, there are short listed answers (1:a, 2:d, 3:e ect) and DETAILED long answers (1:a because you're trying to find x, you must first...) it is such a wonderful aspect! I am so thrilled with this and feel that if I study from it often, I'll get a good score on my ACT. Again, DO NOT hesitate.

Answers don't match tests, November 24, 2009
This review is from: 1,296 ACT Practice Questions (College Test Preparation) (Paperback)
The Princeton Review should be embarrassed to have its name on this book. Not only are there outright errors in the "answers," several of the sample tests have answer keys that clearly do not match the test printed.
I help kids prepare for standardized testing and have used other Princeton Review books successfully, but this book is a disgrace. If you are looking for extra practice tests, I would strongly recommend finding a different test prep book.
