English: I used the English one of the Princeton Review. I read the entire thing pretty much. I should have everything down. Anyone else can suggest anything better than PR. Score: 31 Aiming: 33-34

Math: Strongest one ever. I do like practice tests from anywhere. I dont care if theyre easy or hard… because all I want is not to miss those questions on the ACT. I dont really check what my score is. I just review what I get wrong. Score: 35. Aiming: 35-36

Reading: I dunno!. I think it all comes down to practice. I dont know any good strategy book but DO NOT get the Princeton Review. Its actually really bad. I suggest Barrons even though its hard… it’ll prepare you. Score: 26 Aiming: 30-32

Science: I think I read the questions and then answer. I usually skim the passage and underline key words( no more than 15-20 seconds) and then I go straight to the questions. Anyone else know a good strategy book? Score: 30 Aiming: 33-34

Anyone else can suggest me any prep books that would be helpful.
