Reddit reviews Barron's Act 36: Aiming for the Perfect Score

I'm gonna direct you to this response I just made and also recommend picking up this practice book. My SAT score put me in the approximate 30 range already so I knew I was not in most cases the target audience for the average practice book. The book in my opinion is loaded with valuable information (advanced information that the average book or equivalent might not include or go into such detail, hence the specific 36 publishment) to help familiarize you with the types of questions the test will ask and the things you will have to know to answer them and the questions included are subjectively harder than the real ACT questions so that was a relief when it came to taking the actual test and it also made me feel more confident in myself, and confidence is key (in all aspects of life!!)

These two were my favorite. If she wants help + tips feel free to PM me.

Definitely take practice tests!! Also don't be afraid to take the ACT multiple times, I took it 3 times before I got the score I wanted and I am glad I did! There are also a lot of practice books out there, I recommend Barrons.

• For the reading section it helps to underline and annotate. If you have time, read the questions before you read the story so you know what you are looking for.
  
  
• Science seems to be hard for a lot of people, don't overthink it! The answers are always right in front of you, you just have to find them!
  
  
• Math can be rough sometimes, if you don't know a question skip it and come back to it later, you want to get as many questions right as possible, don't get stuck on a problem and run out of time!
  
  
• English was always hardest for me but all my friends thought it was the easiest, just make sure you brush up on your grammar before the test, the practice books will help you with that.
  
  
• The day of the test eat breakfast and bring a sweatshirt to the testing room, one of the times I took it I was freezing cold and it was hard to even focus! And make sure you get a good night of sleep, somebody in my room actually fell asleep during one section!!
  
  Good Luck and if you have any more questions be sure to ask!!
