Tom Clements' newest book is a must-have for anyone who is taking the current ACT. The new essay format (introduced in Sept of 2015) is vastly different from the original ACT essay. Unfortunately, the ACT review book released by the makers of the ACT does not provide any recent ACT essay samples since the most recently published version of that book (3rd edition) is from 2011. What's more, there are only two released ACT essay sample questions online in the new essay format. Accordingly, there is a real need for sample topics that are representative of the new essay. Thankfully, Tom Clements' new book has filled in the gaps! I love this book because, in addition to giving spot-on advice about how to write the essay, it provides a plethora of helpful sample essay topics. I'm an ACT English tutor and I have already used this book extensively with many of my students. Thank you, Mr. Clements, for getting this comprehenisive book out in a timely fashion!
A great update! This book has excellent visuals. It really breaks down the the task of writing the ACT essay into manageable parts with very easy to understand examples. Like its earlier versions, it is well-written and extremely helpful. As a parent, I appreciated that my son thought the examples were relevant and easy to follow. As a college counselor, I think my students will enjoy his presentation and style. Its useful for any high school student who wants to do their best on the ACT writing section.
I have been prepping students for the ACT/SAT for 15 yrs and the essay has always been a real challenge for my students. Over the last few yrs I have simply told them to follow the guidelines and advice in Tom Clements' books and they have told me it helped them immensely and took the mystery out of this dreaded section of the test. I have read this new book on the updated version of the ACT essay and feel it hits the nail on the head. I wholeheartedly recommend it and will be suggesting once again that my students invest in it.
My son aced the test using this approach. You can't ask for more than that!
I'm a SAT/ACT prep tutor. This is the best book about writing essays for the ACT by far.
I love it!
