 Great May 13, 2007

So after taking my first ACT, I was surprised to find my reading sub-score to be the lowest. After a momentary loss of sanity I decided it would be best for me just to get help rather than belly-ache. I chose this book because it seemed like an easy and effective tool that was exactly what I was looking for. This book raised my reading score significantly, and its no longer the lowest (blast that Math). Buy it if you struggled on the ACT reading, it provides advise and test-taking strategies.

This book helped my daughter raise her ACT score 4 points, with the largest improvement being in reading. A great resource. Recommend it highly.

A must-buy for the ACT. If you only buy one book to prepare for this test, make sure it's this one. The strategies are specific and useful. No wasteful filler like you find in the other prep books. The authors tell you exactly what to do to increase your score. And the book is fun to read.

This prep book actually has cartoons that are funny. And the authors are pretty amusing considering the subject matter. But the good news is that the content has the potential to help you score higher on the writing section. The tips made me think about different ways to approach the writing prompts. As they say, you have to be unafraid to "Take the Shot." No mooncalfing. No lollydolling. Save that for your sweetheart. Buy this book now.
LOVED IT! September 23, 2009

Close reading of text has always been a challenge for me. It seems that teachers just expect you to know how to do it without ever showing you. This prep book has principles that emphasize "reading for meaning". I even found myself laughing out loud at times! An easy read with great content.
