ACT Preparation in 28 Days: A Companion to The Real ACT Prep Guide

 (3 customer reviews)

I am always searching for great new resources to use with my students, so I was looking forward to receiving this "book" (more like a 31 page pamphlet).

This supplement uses the practice tests in the Real ACT Prep Guide so you have to purchase that as well. I found the daily schedule to be really useful. It was a lot of work but it was worth it.

We bought this manual for our daughter and she used the printed schedule as a study guide. We never expected perfect scores. In fact, we are more than happy with the five-point improvement over her last ACT. (Not sure why the bad review criticizes the book on behalf of high scorers--it doesn't say that students will achieve perfect scores.) We found that this manual provided an excellent self-study schedule for our daughter. Highly, highly recommend!
