Difficulty od Barron's ACT book

I just got 23 on diagnostic test and thats way too low for my expectations. Over 3 months for studying for October test date give me some hope.
I just wanted to ask how difficult are Barron's tests compared to real ACT exam. Is it similar to subject tests where low 700s or even high 600s give 800 on real test? How would my composite score of 23 translate to real ACT? And what scores on barron's book should i get to have a chance to make it over 30?

Um. No clue lol.
I did borrow a Barron's ACT book from my local library though. I think I got like, a 21 on it.
I score 2400's on SAT practice tests though...... so yeah.
Not sure if it's the ACT I'm bad at or just Barron's.


I know the Barron's SAT books are fairly hard though, so I'd imagine that the ACT book is as well....
