Vince Kotchian said Good advice for general improvement, bad advice for those seeking perfection. I've been tutoring the ACT professionally for about 8 years. I'm only giving this book three stars because I don't think it delivers on its promise to get students to a perfect score. A much better title would be, "ACT prep for smart kids who want to improve their scores but who can't be bothered to learn every little thing the ACT will cover".My first area of concern is the English and Math sections. This book doesn't cover all tested concepts (of which there are man. Chem Guy said These are pretty glaring errors. This guide is ok.

In thumbing through it, I noticed that the standard form equations for hyperbolas and ellipses are wrong. The superscript 2 is inside the parentheses.
