<p>Whats a good strategy for the reading section, and science section for the ACT?
THANKS!!!</p>
<p>Practice. The questions are usually extremely easy but the time you have to do them is ridiculous.</p>
<p>Practice until you can finish the section(s) w/ out going over the time limit.</p>
<p>Put the right answer for all of the questions.</p>
<p>^ Listen to this sage advice.</p>
<p>The science section isn’t science. it is a reading test wherein you examine science based graphs charts and data but you don’t have to know what they are talking about scientifically to understand the questions. If you understand that and approach it with the knowledge that the answers are all contained in the graphs, charts etc you will be a step ahead of the person applying their scientific knowledge to try to get the answer. Plus practice practice practice.</p>
<p>The ACT is a standardized test perhaps the worst and the longest but all you can do it practice to the free tests on their website and be ready to answer all the questions fast while still getting them right and not going over time…</p>
<p>but personally i think the thing is crap. I took it as a sophomore last year and i’m taking it again in december and april.</p>
<p>well you have to be a super genius to do that even… I mean i’m smart and have perfect grades but the ACT is harder than hell! </p>
<p>Find someone who has perfect score and you’ll have your super genius lol ;)</p>
<p>Yes practice does help. I also learned from a book i ordered from a link on this site (Act black book) a lot of science stuff is really simpler than it looks. Just break down the questions and look for the info on the axes of charts. There was a bit more to it in the book, but that worked really well for me. my friend liked “reading for the main idea of the passage”, which i think he got from the same book or possibly the 3 minutes a day one, but i was always good at reading so i didnt pay much attention.</p>
