I got a 31 on my past two ACTs and I was wondering if this book would help to improve it. I was thinking of getting this and the Real ACT. Math is the one thing that I don't need to work on at all and reading is the most. Would this help? Any other recommendations? Post edited by Salve! on July 2009

It is supposed to help you enjoy reading better, and that is really the whole strategy of the book. Reading remains my lowest score after reading this book (Ok, it might have helped just a little bit). I have read all of Barron's 36. It is a good supplement, but don't use it on its own. It has some cool strategies, but it doesn't review over anything remotely basic, nor does its practice tests. Try the reading section of "Barron's English, Reading, and Writing Workbook". It is so awesome. It got me from getting 20-23 to 25-27 (23 on real thing though, stupid curve!). ReplyShare on Facebook

So I don't really need anything with the basic stuff in it, more of something guaranteed to improve my overall score. Here is the breakdown of my 1st and 2nd ACT E: 31 M: 36 R: 25 S: 31 Essay: 10 Comp: 31 E: 32 M: 35 R: 28 S: 29 Essay: 10 Comp: 31 What would you suggest from this? I was looking at the "Barron's English, Reading, and Writing Workbook" though... ReplyShare on Facebook

Rixs, who got a 36 on that section, advised finishing the test quickly and accurately in about 30 minutes, and then checking the whole thing in 15 min. (this is assuming you just made dumb mistakes, I also got 32, and this has been helping). Nothing to say about math, I guess. You obviously know what you're doing. Now, given you can already get a 28, all I can say is practice reading more. Also, try Barron's ACT 2009. The reading is really hardcore, but it should improve your reading and analytical skills. On science, work on a $hitload of practice tests. Do like two or so passages in 10 minutes carefully. Look at the answers, and if you missed any, slap yourself. Like..hard, then look at the answer and learn from it. If you havn't used the real ACT prep guide, 100% get it. It rocks. ReplyShare on Facebook
