What Kind of ACT Practice Book Should I Buy?

This is a follow-up to our last post. Following that post, we received emails asking us to explain further. We are happy to help answer this question. We were frequently asked by parents, "what test prep book can you recommnend?" My Test Tips recommends McGraw-Hill's 10 Practice Tests for ACT, 3rd Edition. This book contains simulated tests and explanations for the correct answers. You can check out the mostly positive reviews for the book on Amazon. We recommend the book because it contains multiple practice tests rather than lengthy explanations about concepts and practice drills. We designed our My Test Tips tutorial prep system to eliminate valuable time having to read about strategies and concept practice drills. We save students time by modeling test taking tips and strategies for you, and showing you how to get right to the practice tests. Our free down-loadable review practice sheets are designed to help you focus on the problems and concepts you missed and need to correct. No test book is going to give you the actual test questions you will be asked. In our opinion, McGraw-Hill's 10 Practice Tests for ACT, 3rd Edition comes close. It gives you multiple practice tests instead of just one set of subject practice tests. Using the book with My Test Tips System increases your chances to improve your test scores.

ACT Test Practice Book

How To Practice With A Practice Book for ACT/SAT Tests is the name of our new video tutorial. Our goal was to focus on what we feel My Test Tips is all about. Students need test tips and strategies, but they also need to learn how to use those tips & strategies with a practice book. We are often asked what kind of test prep book should be purchased? We recommend buying McGraw-Hills 10 Practice Tests Book. You don't need the CD ROM versions. You won't be tested with a CD ROM on line test, so why practice taking a test that way? You are going to use a pencil, not a computer. We like this particular book because it is a close replica of what your actual tests will look like, and they explain the answers in a section after each test. Using our test taking strategies and practice sheets to monitor your progress, will improve your chances to improve your scores. Hope this helps! Emmy.
