Product Description
This brand-new hands-on workbook presents exercises, problems and quizzes with solutions and answers as it progresses through all math and science topics covered on the ACT college entrance test. Separate math chapters cover pre algebra, elementary algebra, intermediate algebra, plane geometry, coordinate geometry, and trigonometry. Separate science chapters cover data representation passages, research summary passages, and conflicting scientific viewpoints. The book's science sections emphasize the scientific method and focus on how to read scientific passages. A glossary of helpful science terms is provided. Strategies for success are included in every chapter. A full-length practice test reflecting the ACT science and math sections come with explained answers.

 Waste of Money July 31, 2010

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! This book is a waste of time and money. I've only gotten through the math portion and what I saw of that, it was not great. The things the author teaches brings up topics and problems that I have never even seen on the ACT before. The explanations are awful. The author assumes that you know things when that might not be the case. Her wording on things is awful and confusing. And as with every book, there are quite a few mistakes in the book. I am sure that the Science section is just as awful as the Math.
 Math is harder than most other ACT prep materials August 29, 2009

The book covers math topics broken down by major subject (pre algebra, algebra, geometry, plane geometry, and trig I think). Within each subject it covers more specific things and has sample problems. There's a mini-test at the end of each section with about 10-15 questions on what was just covered. I didn't look at the science section at all so I don't know what's there.
There is one math and one science practice test at the end.
I think the questions and material covered were a lot harder than the other prep books I've used, including the Real ACT Guide. More on things like graphing trig functions, etc. that I don't think are really crucial for the ACT, at least not in the depth they go. It was good for picking out some harder problems but I don't think I would use this as my main math review book.
Update: I like this book a bit better now that I've revisited it, after thinking the other review books were too easy. My biggest complaint now is that there is only one practice test. I think it would be much better if they made the book math only, and had 4-5 practice tests at the end (like McGraw Hill's does) instead of only one. I don't know if all of the content covered will actually be on the ACT, but it's a good book for those who want to err on the safe side by learning more.
