New ACT Official Guide to be released in January 2016

November 19, 2015 Leave a Comment

The new Real ACT Prep Guide $($Book + Bonus Online Content$)$ 3rd Edition will be released in January 2016. The official guide will contain five tests along with access to bonus content online which will have tips for college application.

My suspicion is that the five tests will remain identical to the tests in the previous guide which was released in 2011. The reason is that the new release is listed as 3rd Edition as opposed to giving it a title of 4th Edition. In addition, the number of pages in the new guide remains at 936 pages, identical to the previous publication. The only change I expect is regarding the optional ACT writing test. The enhancements to the design of the ACT writing test started with the September 12, 2015 ACT test date. I would expect these changes to show in the new guide.

I hope I am wrong and that ACT does release an entirely new set of five practice tests.
