2 Questions: When do we get our scores back and Science Reasoning tips

<p>I was just wondering when I could expect to get my test scores back from the ACT guys. I was planning on taking it sometime in September, but then I heard it takes like 4 months to get the scores back (I need them here so I can send them to the college from Jan 1st to March 15th for a college program) so I'll probably have to take it in October. I hope not though, I could use every day I can get.</p>

<p>Second: The ACT Science Reasoning. I know you probably hear a lot about this, but what is a general tip for getting that sucker down? I know of at least 5 questions on every practice test I take where if I was to take the extra 30 seconds to really look at the questions, I would probably get it, but that's too much time.</p>

<p>Anyways, is it better to just go straight to the questions or read the passages and then hit the questions? I'm pretty good at graphs, but the experiments and the hypothesis sections really kill me (my last practice test was a 27...would have been like a 30 if not for the last 2 experiment sections).</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>4 months?
Check the official ACT website. They say multiple choice scores would be available in 2 weeks after the testing date, and maybe another 2 weeks for the essay score.</p>

<p>I usually go straight to the questions, and look for the useful info in the passage directly to answer them. That works for me. I don't know if it works for others tho.</p>

<p>I tried that on the last graph sections, and it worked pretty good. The hypothesis/fighting scientists one is a little weird though...probably going to take a little more practice.</p>

<p>Thanks for the answer BTW, I just heard that around on the net...can't believe everything I hear, eh?</p>

<p>Just got done with my 3rd practice test...another 27. That's the third one! Ah!</p>

<p>My Science strategy is to relax. I skim the passages, then answer the questions. I didn't make it to the last problem last test, but I got the problems I DID get to right (hence a 35).</p>

<p>Wow. I'll give that a try. I usually just go straight to the questions, but I'll give it a try.</p>

<p>Edit: That works good. I just relaxed and read the passages like I would a magazine.</p>

<p>Worked great.</p>
