4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for strategy and tutors, November 14, 2010

This review is from: McGraw-Hill's Top 50 Skills for a Top Score: ACT English, Reading, and Science (Paperback)
As a private tutor, I'm familiar with most of the test prep guides and use different books to teach different aspects of the test. This is a terrific book if you understand its purpose. This book is not a substitute for a 'core' test prep book. It will not teach you the rules of grammar, punctuation, or what a main idea is. What you will learn are simple strategies for identifying and answering the types of questions that appear over and over on the ACT. It's an easy read, and the skills are presented clearly and concisely. The questions on the pretest, post-test, and practice sections are linked to each skill. The writing tutorial is one of the best I've seen. However, there's a major error on pages 92-95 which virtually obliterates skills 36 & 37. With this exception, it has proved to be a valuable addition to my library.
