I didn't use any books, but I took a prep class. That gave me 4 points from my baseline.

ACT is harder to get practice in, and in my experience the 3rd party tests are always bad at the science section, so try these two that are from the ACT people. First one is the new one, the second is the out of date one, but still applicable.

Use the Real ACT Book aka The Red Book. Also consider using the Princeton Review ACT book.

Anything with practice tests. I never bothered with the individual exercises, I just out books from the library and took the practice tests, reviewed what I got wrong, and then took another one. I did Princeton, Kaplan, the official ACT... So many. Maybe not the most effective way to study, but it worked for me.

The Elements of Style by Willam Strunk and E.B White

The book made by the ACT company (it was red when I bought it a few years ago). I ended up making a very good score after practicing from this book.

The big red book is helpful.
