Summary: Not good for kids with ADHD
Comment: I tried to use this but the book was super thick and I just couldn't get into it, I used an online interactive study guide instead and I scored a 26 on my ACT. My sister did well with this book, the only difference between us is I have ADHD and she doesnt.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Intimidating
Comment: From the picture this books looks manageable, but when I received it it was HUGE. I have yet to open it because there is so much information (which is good or bad). If your looking for a really extensive ACT book here you go. If not get the CliffsTestPrep ACT (Cliffs Test Prep ACT).

Summary: The best book for ACT preperation
Comment: I bought 4 books to prepare for my ACT exam (Princeton Review (Cracking the ACT, 2007 Edition), Kaplan ACT 2007 Comprehensive Program, McGraw-Hill's 10 ACT Practice Tests, and The Real ACT Prep Guide). I found the Real ACT Prep Guide to be the best one as it has three real practice exams at the end (as close as u can get to the real exam).As far as the preparation material provided for preparation, it is not as good as Kaplan's or Princeton's. i would rate the four books as follows:
1.The Real ACT Prep Guide. -- the practice papers at the end of the book are real ACT exams.
2.Kaplan ACT 2007 Comprehensive Program --(The practice papers are as difficult as the real ACT exam (but defenitly not as close as the rela exam)and the preparation material provided is also good but they dont have any sample essays to crack the writing test)
3.Princeton Review (Cracking the ACT, 2007 Edition)-- (the preparation material provided is the best compared with the Kaplan and the real ACT books and the papaers at the end are comparable with the Kaplan's.)
4.McGraw-Hill's 10 ACT Practice Tests -- the 10 papers are a good practice but they are comparitively easier than the real exam.
If you plan to buy just one book to prepare for the ACT exam then you should buy The Real ACT Prep Guide.
Customer Rating:
Summary: WARNING: this is the old edition--new edition out 12/07
Comment: This edition is two years old, so don't buy this one but do get this book! Amazon has two listings for this book--one is for the new edition. I agree with the other reviewers that the primary benefit of this book is the 3 practice tests with detailed answer explanations provided. The book offers limited advice on how to best improve on its various sections--especially the science section where many students feel extremely rushed. But the practice tests are worth the price of the book.

Summary: My BEST Books for College Students...
Comment: This certainly ranks up there. My other choices for 2007, hands down:
1) How To Ace Your Way Through College & Still Have a Life
2) The MLA Handbook
3) Fiske Guide to Colleges
