<p>any tips on timing? i can never seem to finish it in time, and im taking it this saturday =/
i keep running out of time for the very last passage (5 questions)...</p>
<p>I need to know too. Everyone says to just look to the graphs but there is so much **** all over I get confused trying to find the answers. This section seems damn near impossible.</p>
<p>yeah, it goes WAY too quickly…
I need a tip before I take my last practice test before Saturday…I want to be able to have the best method for the actual ACT so I don’t have to end up putting completely random answers on the last few problems!
If they could only add 5 minutes…</p>
<p>Is Real ACt easier than kaplan’s, Barron’s and PR 1296 in Science? I haven’t taken any REAL ACT Science tests, and I have been waiting, but me performing horribly on those tests in Science makes me so stressed.</p>
<p>I made a 25 on a PR Science Test, and a 21 in February. If I were to use the Real ACT tests, will I actually be able to increase my score? I had a 16 on Barron’s. I made the same thing in Kaplan’s as I did in Feb, and PR 1296 just seems confusing.</p>
<p>All of those books seem to ask **** that you can’t find…</p>
<p>I heard Barron’s is the hardest…and I just bought the PR 1296 a few days ago and did one science practice test and did SO much worse! i was way worse on timing and got a lot more wrong (10 total) in PR than in the REAL ACT…
the REAL ACT has actual previous ACTs, so it’s definitely most accurate (only book w/ tests from the actual makers of the ACT)…i’d get the REAL ACT if i were you…i think i may return my PR 1296…i just need to find a replacement first =/</p>
<p>Yeah the PR 1296 is ridiculousness. I did practice tests from PR Cracking the ACT 2008 Ed. and those tests were fine. When I did a practice test from the 1296 book it was twice as hard. Anyway, I too have trouble with the science section, usually with 4-5 more questions when I run out of time.</p>
<p>If you’ve taken the actual ACT, how’d the 2008 Ed. compare? was it pretty similar?</p>
<p>I usually have 3-5 minutes leftover. For each passage, I go straight to the questions, and from there, I go to the specified diagram. Don’t read the introduction of anything else because it’s a waste of time and makes you confused. Only read the intro if the question asks something not from the diagram.</p>
<p>thanks so much! yeah, reading the paragraphs for the intro waste a lot of time…next practice test ill definitely go straight to the questions…hopefully that saves me a lot of time…</p>
<p>I would do what Elasticity said. Don’t read anything, just look at the graph/table that the question asks about.</p>
<p>But, you do need to read the opposing viewpoint section.</p>
<p>Alright, I’ll definitely keep that in mind!
Thanks =]</p>
<p>I definetly agree with Elasticity and tbolts. Just go straight to the questions because most of them will just ask for information from a specific chart or diagram, not from the passage as a whole. I used this stragedy when I took the test and had about 5 minutes left over and scored well on the section. Hope this helps.</p>
