This seems to be one of the few test prep items that actually includes comprehensive practice and subject-matter tutorials that are consistent with the material that will be in the test. I was pleased with this book's quality and will use it again in future small groups classes!
The best English teacher, Mr. B, at my school went through every ACT book, and he told me Amscos had the best English and Writing section for doing well on the ACT. He told me that you can't ",study," for a standardized test you have to learn the rules and know the material. Amscos focuses purely on learning the material; where as, Kaplan and Princeton focus on test taking strategies. Currently, I am over half-way done with the English portion in this book. This book is great for learning English. At the beginning of the book there are forty(40) sentence test that you have to try to correct. Once your done, you have to check the ones you got wrong. There is a check list for you to see your problem areas and the pages you have to go over. This book gives you the opportunity to mainly focus on your problem areas and plow through the stuff you already know. This book is much more in depth than all the other ACT books. After you are done with all the sections in the book, there is a diagnostic test at the end of the book, which could be used to focus on problem areas again. The only problem with this book is the Reading section because it focuses on summarizing paragraphs, which takes too much time to do. The best way to improve your reading score is to just read many college prep books like Marry Shelly's Frankenstein. The best strategy to getting a high score on the ACT is to keep taking practice tests and seeing why you got it wrong. Good luck with ACT studying, and may God be with you.
After reviewing multiple other books and resources to help with my daughters ACT retest, I found the Postman books to be very solid.Would buy both Postman books, the Real ACT Test Book, and consider the ACT Prep Black Book by Barrett.The English subject matter was the strongest.
The content is fantastic and exactly what I needed and wanted to teach an ACT Prep course for English, Reading and Writing. The condition of the book was horrible - nowhere was it mentioned that the book had been COMPLETELY used/written in.
I've used Amsco's last three editions to help prep my students for the ACT, and I think it's very effective and worth every penny!
My daughter can understand the information and also it has a time line in it.
Exactly what I expected and totally satisfactory
Just what we wanted.
