Written by a perfect scoring author, this book takes a radically original approach to ACT test preparation. While almost all of the ACT test preparation books try to make simulated ACT test questions which lack the scientific validation of the real ACT tests, this book uses the official ACT practice test which is available free from the makers of the ACT. In the book you will see insightful explanations of how the high scoring authors actually approach every question of a full scientifically validated real ACT test. In addition to this analysis of the real test, the authors have examined several released real ACT tests and identified the essential core knowledge that is needed for the test. The book has original insights and strategies not found in any other books. The authors have avoided the encyclopedic large book approach taken by most of the other books on the market, and have presented a streamlined version of the skills and knowledge pertinent to the ACT. The student should be able to complete the entire book in a short amount of efficiently used time. The authors have taken great pains to keep out any fluff and irrelevant material that will distract the reader. EXCERPTS FROM AMAZON REVIEWS OF FIRST EDITION: "...this wonderful little guide focuses on the core concepts necessary to master the test. It is also the only guide I've seen that emphasizes the immense value of using only the practice tests designed by the test makers, and the solutions provided to one of the real practice tests provide wonderful examples of the proper mental approach to answering ACT questions..." R.G. "...These authors have truly dissected the ACT practice test and given the background information necessary to not only understand the ACT practice test questions, but to thoroughly understand the subject so that the reader is prepared for variations of these questions on the ACT..." J.A. E MAIL FROM A READER: "...I just want to say that your book is awesome!! I took the ACT for the 1st time in June, and with the Dissecting tips I was able to make a 30..." K.B.

Okay, I bought this book a few weeks ago. The content is horrible. You are better of buying the Real ACT Guide and Princeton Review's "Cracking the ACT"
By S. Bennett (Las Vegas, NV)
Extremely concise and to the point. My two sons found this a great way to prepare for the ACT - in short snippets between classes, on trips, at home, and when waiting anywhere. A very helpful book, especially when utilizing it with the real ACT sample test available online. A GREAT preparation and review!
By S. Hochman (Boca Raton, FL United States)
This book does not give many hints and tips on the tests. The few tips it does have almost seem like they were written by a robot--in some cases they directly tell you exactly what the ACT says in the Real ACT book. So, it is not exactly novel information. For example for the writing section the book tells you the rubric used by the ACT for grading the section, and this serves as the little foundation for what the authors say to do in the writing section. I could have already read that info. on the ACT Website or in the Real ACT book--how is that new information?
Furthermore, the authors go over an entire test and why they chose certain answers. That is probably the only helpful info. in this book. But when the ACT changes their online test, readers of this book will have nothing to refer to. See the authors did not put their own sample tests in the book, but rather rely on the current ACT's online exam. That test changes frequently and will make your book obsolete when it changes next!
By John Wentworth
This is a very no nonsense book that only covers the most important stuff you need for the test. No time is wasted on unnecessary stuff. Those expecting a fat 800 page book my be surprised by the small size of the book, but this book actually has more useful information than the big fat books written by people who may never have taken the real ACT in a decade. Even if you feel the need to get one of the fat ACT prep books, you should still get this book because it tells what you what is most important.
By Bonnie Twain
This entire book is based on the expert analysis of real ACT tests by very talented authors. If you actually do what the book recommends in the second chapter, you will blow away the test. If you have any doubts about weather this very inexpensive book is worth your money, preview the inside of the book here on Amazon.com and read the authors blog and decide for yourself. Do not take the advice of the negative reviewer who did not understand how to follow the simple instructions in the book. That reviewer was trying to use the wrong companion ACT tests and did not even realize it!
This book tells you how to get three free real ACT tests. For even more practice with real test get the official book: The Real ACT Prep Guide: The Only Official Prep Guide From The Makers Of The ACT
