It has 5 practice tests that all seem well written. It breaks down the math section into major topics (pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trig, etc), then covers specific types of problems within each major topic. There are mini-tests over each category too, which I think is really helpful. I've pretty much used the book cover to cover. I have found 2 errors though and it doesn't cover every math topic you need to know for the test.
March 2010 update: I now think this book is a little too easy, especially for those looking for a top score (say, 30 and up). I still think it's an ideal book for those looking for scores in the mid to maybe upper twenties (or below) though. The questions aren't quite as hard as those in the recent official ACT preparation booklets, so I think the scaled scores from here would be a little inflated. 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful:  a great resource!, This review is from: McGraw-Hill's Conquering the ACT Math (Paperback) preparing for the ACT? this is a great book to get, as the math section of the test is where one can improve most by studying. the questions on the practice tests mirror those from real tests (from the official ACT guide) - yet the explanations are far superior to those in the official guide. they are concise, straightforward and easily understood - so much so that my son wished he had this book as a study guide for his math classes. the glossary alone is worth the purchase price - as it highlights all the formulas one should know for the exam. the book also contains a section that covers the concepts the ACT will test - so one can quickly discover their weak areas and focus their efforts most productively. even after the exam, the book will retain its value as a quick and easy math reference. if you buy only one prep guide - this is it. mcgraw-hill also offer a book with ten practice full tests, that i would recommend over the official guide that only...Read more 12 of 15 people found the following review helpful: Wonderful!, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: McGraw-Hill's Conquering the ACT Math (Paperback) I purchased this book because math is my weakest subject on the act. I was scoring a 16 on the act test, I need a 20 for the promise scholarship in WV, it pays for your tuition. I just read some of the tips, and nothing else and it raised my score 1 point to a 17. Finally this summer I have used this book almost weekly, to get ready for the ACT test in September. When I took the first diagnostic exam in the book it said an 16, I am on my second test and I received a 20! i am so excited because there is 3 mores tests to go and I think I will be able to raise it to maybe a 22, that way I feel like I can get at lest a 20 on the real test. In September I will tell you how it went. Not only did I use it to practice fort the ACT but I also used it to practice for the COMPASS Math Test, I started with a 17 on the COMPASS, and raised it to a 44, I no longer would have to take a non credited math class in college. In my high school I need a 49 on the COMPASS test...Read more |
