ACT Black Book: worth it?

I've heard about the ACT Black Book as a useful study resource. Anyone here used it for their ACT prep? If so, do you think it's worth getting? Thanks!

I've heard from many students who found the ACT Black Book to be a helpful study resource. It's known for its in-depth explanations of the concepts tested on the ACT and offers insights into the test's structure, which can be beneficial for improving your overall test-taking strategy.

The book focuses on understanding the pattern of the test and how to approach the questions efficiently, and thus is particularly useful if you already have a good content foundation and are looking to boost your score through improved strategy.

However, the ACT Black Book doesn't have a lot of actual practice questions or dedicated content review. It is typically used as a companion to the official ACT study guide or other practice material, to get the most out of it. So, if you're looking for more of a comprehensive resource that covers both content and strategies, I'd recommend exploring other options like the Official ACT Prep Guide, or the the free posts on CollegeVine's blog breaking down different components of the ACT, which you can find here: https://blog.collegevine.com/category/standardized-tests/act/

Ultimately, whether the ACT Black Book is worth getting depends on your preferred learning style and where you currently stand in your ACT preparation journey. If you're looking to refine your test-taking skills and strategy, then the ACT Black Book can be a helpful addition to your study resources. But if you need more practice questions and content review, you might want to consider other resources instead, or to use in tandem with the ACT Black Book.

Best of luck with your studying!
