5.0 out of 5 stars A necessary resource to improve ACT score, October 31, 2008
By 
This review is from: McGraw-Hill's 10 ACT Practice Tests, Second Edition (McGraw-Hill's 10 Practice Acts) (Paperback)
I used this book along with the Real ACT book, the Sparknotes Guide to the ACT book, and the Dummies ACT prep book. I found that this book was one of the more helpful ones. I was skeptical at first to buy this book, as the ACT content can get distorted when it isn't written by the actual ACT writers. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the practice tests in the book resemble the real ACT tests greatly. The writers of the 10 McGraw Hill Practice ACT (as stated in the introduction) analytically scrutinized the content of the real ACT and emulated it in the 10 practice tests. The only defect is the answer explanations. The explanations are very succinct and sometimes you don't understand why you got the wrong answer. But that is not the case with all the answer explanations. In order to significantly improve your score, taking practice ACT tests greatly helps. Therefore, this is one of the best resources to use to improve your ACT score.

4.0 out of 5 stars Close to the real ACT format -- but not exact, October 4, 2009
This review is from: McGraw-Hill's 10 ACT Practice Tests, Second Edition (McGraw-Hill's 10 Practice Acts) (Paperback)
I feel like I have been through nearly every ACT prep product sold on Amazon. I have been working to get a 99th percentile ACT score without spending big bucks on private tutoring or a prep class. I figured I should post a review with my feelings about these products to prevent other students from having to do all the shopping around that I did.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Different Point of View, September 13, 2009
This review is from: McGraw-Hill's 10 ACT Practice Tests, Second Edition (McGraw-Hill's 10 Practice Acts) (Paperback)
On contrary to some of the other reviewers, I found this book a little on the easy side compared to REAL ACT tests epecially in the math. Yes, this book similiar in questions but the difficulty level is something to take notice of. For example, in the math section, one reoccuring question that appears on all of the test multiple time is "What is the slope of the line 2x+4y=1, or vice-versa with a question dealing with the y-intercept. The ACT will not typically be this generous to you so be warned. And yet another example can be taken from the Reading Section. The passages generally seemed more easy to read than the real thing however, I will give them that questions were very similar to REAL ACT questions.

Overall, a good book to boost your confidence, but not a book to significantly raise your score to the 32-36 range due to the slight inaccurcies and sometimes rather short explanations. If you are looking for a score of 26-29, I do not see any problem with this book...Read more
