Dear Student,
Thank you for picking up a copy of the 5 lb. Book of ACT® Practice Problems. We
hope this meaty tome provides just the right practice—a workout for both your
mind and your biceps!—as you prepare for the ACT.
A great number of people were involved in the creation of the book you are
holding. First and foremost is Zeke Vanderhoek, the founder of Manhattan Prep.
Zeke was a lone tutor in New York when he started our company in 2000. Now,
well into its second decade, the company contributes to the successes of thousands
of students around the globe every year.
Our Manhattan Prep resources are based on the continuing experiences of our
instructors and students. As the primary editor of this book, I had tons of help from
a fantastic team. Passages and questions were written and edited by me, Mary
Adkins, Jesse Cotari, Taylor Dearr, Whitney Garner, Rina Goldfield, Ben Ku, Dan
Lerman, Emily Madan, and Tate Shafer. As I headed up the English section, Tate
led Math, Mary and Rina split leadership duties on Reading, and Dan oversaw
Science. Outside contributors Carlota Dwyer and Haven Reininger provided
valuable writing and editing, and Cheryl Duckler shared her copy editing chops.
Additional editing was provided by Whitney, Emily, Chelsey Cooley, and Julia Van
Dyke.
Meanwhile, Dan McNaney, Derek Frankhouser, Cathy Huang, and Belen Ferrer
provided design and layout expertise as Dan and Derek managed book production.
Liz Krisher made sure that all the moving pieces came together at just the right
time. I am deeply grateful to each of these wonderful people.
Finally, we are all indebted to all of the Manhattan Prep students who have given us
feedback over the years. This book wouldn’t be half of what it is without your voice.
At Manhattan Prep, we aspire to provide the best instructors and resources possible,
and we hope that you will find our commitment manifest in this book. We strive to
keep our books free of errors, but if you think we’ve goofed, please visit
manhattanprep.com/ACT/errata. If you have any questions or comments in
general, please email our Student Services team at [email protected]. Or give
us a shout at 212-721-7400 (or 800-576-4628 in the U.S. or Canada). I look
forward to hearing from you.
Thanks again, and best of luck preparing for the ACT!
Sincerely,
Chris Ryan
