Eleven years ago, a small group of Princeton Review instructors enthusiastically created a program to prepare students for the previous version of the ACT. We would like to thank John Cauman, Judy Moreland, Bill Lindsley, and Jim Reynolds for their commitment to the original ACT project. The completion of this book would not have been possible without the help and dedication of several individuals. We would like to thank Melissa Hendrix in particular for her hard work revising and updating this edition. Special thanks to Adam Robinson, who conceived of and perfected the Joe Bloggs approach to standardized tests and many other successful techniques used by The Princeton Review.
