<p>I've taken the ACT before and I did especially well on writing and math, but not as well on science and reading. Like many, I tend to run out of time for the reading and science sections. I was wondering how any of you who did well on these two sections in particular approached the questions in general. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>I'm interested also.</p>
<p>I was told that these two sections are alike, yet I have really different scores (reading-34, science- 27). I know for reading I read the entire thing first than look for the answers (I read really fast)</p>
<p>for reading you can skim, for science you need to know exactly what it says--that is the reason for the change</p>
<p>I'd take a series of practice tests until you were very used to the science and reading sections (reading would be easier to get used to)</p>
<p>That's so weird. I have a 27 reading and a 34 science. lol.</p>
<p>You read everything for science?</p>
<p>I read everything for science. I think. And I'm also lucky.</p>
<p>What is the ACT format?</p>
<p>I got a 36 science. I read everything, but not in order. What I did was read the introduction part. Then read the question, and then read the graph(s), chart(s) as needed for the questions. That way when you're looking at the graph/chart you know what specifically to look for if you've already read the question.</p>
<p>When they give multiple introductions to different experiments in the lab, do you read them all first?</p>
<p>b u m p . . . . . .</p>
<p>The introduction is a "must" read then?</p>
<p>From what I remember, I think there were only like 1-2 introductions per passage. I could be wrong though. But yes, I read any introductions they had. I felt like it was necessary in order to get an understanding of the basics of what the experiment is.</p>
