maybe we should make a list of all the typos so we can go through and correct them BEFORE we take the tests, yeah?

i suggest this selfishly because im highly considering getting the 1296 book

Look on the second math test in the 20s. It will be one with a triangle and some trig. You'll see the typo I am talking about.

This book is really annoying, I make more careless mistakes on this one than than I do on the real test.

YodaDaCoda

Glad I'm not the only one. Kaplan is annoying as hell too.

Sooo many bad questions.... but other questions r really good.... idk..........

Okay, I really hate this book.

For some reason I CONSTANTLY do bad on this one, but I did much better on the red book and on the real test.

amaster008

is the 1296 question book HARDER than the red book? because for some reason, i got a 30 on the red book for english, but a 20 on the english ... 10 point difference? quite a bit if you ask me.

maatthheew

Haha idk.

I don't know if I got worse on the ACT or if I should blame this book.

lol. maybe PR is taking a Barron's approach, ultra prep but make you feel crappy about your score. lmao. we'll see. i'm gonna use the book since i bought it. so hopefully i can finish all the english/reading before the April 4th test ... *crams crams crams*

Been making 29s in math on these tests but making 34s and 32s on real act tests...I need to get to science and reading before april 4.

I just took practice test one, and I thought that the math was a lot harder than the real ACT. I got a 31 on the real test, but in the PR book I got a 26. I ran out of time, but I usually have time left on the real test.
I did a lot better on the practice test in both reading and science, then the real ACT.
My english score was the same.


I will finish the book by Friday, and hopefully I will be prepared enough for Saturday.

I am disappointed in all the errors.

Page 79
Question #32
F. No change
B. neighbor; named
C. neighbor named
D. neighbor named,

It is suppose to be F, G, H, J.

There are many more errors that makes the test distracting to take. No wonder why it was $13.

lol,I bought this online a few weeks ago, but I haven't found the time to use it. School is too stressful.

Princeton Review always makes its tests a tad harder than the real thing in all of its books. You can tack on one or two raw ACT points onto your score to get your real score.

This book helps, for the English section at least.

The 1st time I took the ACT I got a 28 in English.
I then took a Practice English test in the Real ACT Prep Book, and got a 29.

Then the 2nd time I took the ACT I got a 26 in English.


Yesterday and today I took 3 practice tests in the 1,296 ACT Practice Book and I got a 30, then a 29, then a 27.

I just took another English practice test in the Red Real ACT Book and I got a 33.
Even though my scores digressed in the PR book, it essentially helped when I used the Real ACT Book.

Hopefully on Saturday the same improvement will show.
