Not a Magic bullet

Not a magic bullet. I have been teaching and tutoring ACT prep for 10 years with great results. I am tutoring a junior now who didn't prepare adequately during the school year, was disappointed in resulting score, and is now trying to catch up for the July and September test dates. I just had to try this book out after reading the amazing reviews. The book offers a good explanation of where to look for the answers and a system of teaching followed by testing on that topic that I liked, but other prep books which teach all the subjects do just as well. After completing the book, my student's test score went from a 24 to a 25. We will continue to work with practice tests and going over the results. Two tests later, she has scored a 26. In short, there is always a bounce between the first, unprepared test score and the second score a student receives after becoming familiar with the test. Second, there is no substitute for taking at least 8 practice tests and going over the incorrect answers and really learning how to answer those correctly the next time. Think of your ACT prep as a 6 month process! There is no substitute for hard work.
