<p>So I am taking the ACT within a week and this is my first try. I am just wondering how hard is the ACT in comparison to the practice tests on the red book/barrons/PR/Official practice test by the ACT. </p>
<p>Thanks a lot</p>
<p>Same, easier, easier, same</p>
<p>For the most part it really doesnt matter. All test that are given are scaled so that they produce a consistent bell curve result. So even if the test you take is tougher your score should be similiar to an eaiser test. The non-offical tests arent accurately scaled since they were never given to a large population, so the official tests are a better predictor.</p>
