Advanced Prep Matt Larriva

This book has a single goal: moving students from near-perfection to perfection. For many, it's easy to move from the 60th percentile to the 90th, but nearly impossible to close the gap and move to that perfect score. If you don't have a good grasp over the fundamentals of grammar then you might not be ready for this book, but if you're looking to boost your score and test your intellect though very challenging problems, then read on. The reason many struggle to gain those last few points that separate Ivy-League scores from Tier 2 scores is simple: most test-prep material is too pedagogical. There is too much lecturing and too few problem sets. Exacerbating this problem is the fact that it is hard to find a large number of Level-5 (the most challenging) problems. When you're already scoring above 80% accuracy, you don't need instruction, and you don't need to waste time on Level 1 problems. What you need is problems so that everything you come across on the test will seem easy to you. That's where Advanced Prep: ACT English comes in. Working the problems in this book will make you a grammar genius, and will elevate your ACT score. The problems are very hard, the answer-explanations are thorough, and the chapters cover all skills necessary to move you to perfection.
