<p>has anyone used the cliffsnotes prep book and taken the ACT? how does it compare? because i’m finding it to be inordinately difficult - as in i missed 20 on english practice test but only 2 on the test from the act website.</p>
<p>where is the test on the act website? is that free?</p>
<p>It is the booklet your school counsellor should have. It is downloadable here

<p>anyone know how difficult the booklet test is compared to the actual ACT?</p>
<p>It is supposed to be like a real ACT as are the tests in the real ACT prep book (which are old retired tests). My D however has found the last 2 tests she took to be much more diffficult than either the booklet or the real ACT prep book. She was scoring around 35 - 36 on the tests from the real ACT book - scored 31 on the april test. Though her writing, reading and math were all very high - the science killed her for some reason.</p>
