Mcgraw HILL ACT Conversion

My question is not about the scoring but just the test on a whole. Are the Mcgraw hill questions harder than the real act questions?

A LOT EASIER. I wouldn't trust McGraw Hill...

They're good for getting the timing down and that's about it. That's the biggest obstacle for a lot of people.

There are so many mistakes...Don't trust their answers.

I am soo ****ed off at the Mcgraw Hill book. I just want to shove it into a corner and beat it up.

Okay, not that mad, but I took 4 of their tests and got a 32 average on all of them, and then took 3 REAL ACT tests and got an average of 27.

The questiosn are similar.. im pretty sure some of them are straight out of old ACTs

but dont trust their curve! instead take out your red REAL ACT test book and mark it on those curves

are their reading tests easier as well? i thought they were the same difficulty as the real act...

Second that. My D just made me take the McGraw Hill version back to Borders and get the REAL ACT prep book written by the ACT. She noted mistakes and some simple math mistakes.
