Best ACT prep books this year – anyone tried these?

hey guys,

I’ve been trying to prepare for my digital SAT, and honestly, it’s been kinda stressful. I went through a lot of blogs and YouTube reviews lately, like WireCutter, US News Education, Magoosh blog, and even the New York Times student section. everyone has their own opinion, and it just made me more confused. after reading and scrolling through tons of sites and forums, I found that most people keep recommending these two books again and again:

Princeton Review Digital SAT Prep, 2026: 4 Full-Length Practice Tests

[familypicker.com/princeton-review-digital-sat-prep]

Digital SAT Prep Success: The Ultimate Study [familypicker.com/digital-sat-prep-success:-the-ultimate]

Both got amazing reviews and features that look pretty solid. I’m just not sure which one is actually better for someone who’s been away from math practice for a while and needs something easy to follow but still close to the real test pattern. Has anyone here tried both or can tell which gives better explanations and online support? I really don’t wanna waste money buying the wrong one. Both have tons of reviews, features are amazing… i just need your help to decide which one to go with thanks in advance!
