What is the best book to buy for help on the ACT with tests and everything.

The book that ACT publishes: Getting into the ACT's

Danny, get "Cracking the ACT" by the Princeton Review. Here's what it did for me:

1st Time
English (31)
Math (33)
Reading (24)
Science (27)
Composite (29)

2nd Time
English (34)
Math (36)
Reading (33)
Science (35)
Composite (35)


The book did a great job of noticing test patterns and showing how to eliminate wrong answers right away. It won't guarantee a 35, but you'll be pleased.

Cracking the ACT's worked for me too...my comp went from 28 to 32, Barrons was useful but the Engilsh review was too long and unnecesary for me anyways

Not that you need it but I'll toss in a vote for Cracking the ACT too - definitely the best one.
