So after taking my first ACT, I was surprised to find my reading sub-score to be the lowest. After a momentary loss of sanity I decided it would be best for me just to get help rather than belly-ache. I chose this book because it seemed like an easy and effective tool that was exactly what I was looking for. This book raised my reading score significantly, and its no longer the lowest (blast that Math). Buy it if you struggled on the ACT reading, it provides advise and test-taking strategies.
First time taking the ACT, scored 29 on reading section...not bad....got this book and did the readings for ten days before the exam and scored a perfect 36!! Best book out there for the least amount of time. Good luck
This book helped my daughter raise her ACT score 4 points, with the largest improvement being in reading. A great resource. Recommend it highly.
Close reading of text has always been a challenge for me. It seems that teachers just expect you to know how to do it without ever showing you. This prep book has principles that emphasize "reading for meaning". I even found myself laughing out loud at times! An easy read with great content.
A must-buy for the ACT. If you only buy one book to prepare for this test, make sure it's this one. The strategies are specific and useful. No wasteful filler like you find in the other prep books. The authors tell you exactly what to do to increase your score. And the book is fun to read.
I like using this small book as a supplement. The strategies and principles are helpful for the student who is weak in ACT Reading. If your student is strong in the ACT Reading area, I'm not certain the book will add much value. The reading practices in the back can be a useful drill. I did catch at least one error on question 6 for Passage 8 (Social Sciences, P. 133). It asks for an answer that is not contained in the reading passage. This always makes me wonder how carefully a book was proof-read. My biggest complaint is that McGraw-Hill repeats the A - D sequence for answers rather than following the ACT format of sequencing answers A - J before repeating. McGraw Hill also does this in their other ACT book, "500 Questions to know by test day ACT English and Reading." If you're trying to create a practice environment, you need to follow the ACT style of test writing completely.
I can recommend this book to all who are trying to up their points on the ACT. My daughter loved it. It gives lots of great tips on reading better for speed and knowledge.
This book is a good aid for the ACT Reading. It has great tips and strategies. The main thing that helped me was the practice passages at the end of book. I definitely recommend it to anybody whom needs help with the Reading section.
