Act 1999: AMERICAN COLLEGE TESTING PROGRAM

Not to make you nervous, but the ACT is an important test. A good score can help make up for less-than-stellar high-school performance. It can also make the difference between getting into a top school and a middling school. So what can you do to prepare? Turn to Everything You Need to Score High on the ACT for help. A complete diagnostic exam helps you discover weaknesses to overcome during your preparation, and follows a thorough overview of the structure of the test, the scoring system, and even some advice on dealing with test anxiety. The next four parts of the book focus on the four sections of the ACT--English, math, reading, and science reasoning--and indicate what types of questions to expect, how to organize your time before and during the exam, and what grammar and math rules you'll need to know. The final section in this book contains three practice ACTs, all with full explanations of the correct answers. The book's clean layout and great summaries at the end of each section make it even more valuable. And with a Windows 95-compatible CD-ROM (included) to provide you with even more practice, Everything You Need to Score High on the ACT lives up to its name. --C.B. Delaney
