Kaplan's ACT guides now include a diagnostic test--plus, preparation for the optional writing section--to provide a more focused approach. This description may be from another edition of this product.
I bought this book for my daughter last year, she never used it. My son was going to be taking the ACT this past December so I gave it to him well ahead of time and he went through the entire book before his test. I think he did well on the test for his first time and I do believe the book was helpful.
GOOD MATH FORMULAS!

This gets 5 stars, because it has 100 math formulas in the back. Most people will not have to memorize all 100 formulas, because many are already memorized in students' minds! The rest of the book was decent, and I think it gives some good tips for the student planning on taking the ACT.

Excellent guide to testing well on the ACT.

This is an excellent guide to the ACT. It provides you all the information you need to succeed. It gives you strategies that take advantage of the test structure. It also shows you how to best manage your time. The book gives you enough material in the Math glossary and 100 Key Math Concepts to quickly teach yourself the math you need so you will test well. The book provides two full-length ACT practice exams. Additionally, it gives you free access to many more online tests at Kaplan's website. Anyone who has the discipline to read and study a good part of this book (including the math sections) and do at least one of the book's practice exams is bound to do a lot better on the ACT then if they had not prepared for this exam. Overall, I think the ACT is less studied and coached than the SAT. This represents an opportunity for the ACT test takers who do get prepared by buying this book.
