<p>I'm currently doing several tests out of the red books. I finish my math, English, and reading sections with about a minute or less left. However I can't seem to finish the science section on time. When the timer I set goes off I have the whole last section left to do. So thats 5 questions I have to guess on. Is there any strategies or ways to finish quicker? I feel like I'm moving as fast as I can on the other 6 sections and if I went any quicker I'd be making stupid mistakes. Is it worth it to focus on the other 6 sections, guess on the last one and be guaranteed 1 or 2 out of the five right?</p>
<p>In the science section, ignore the reading passages wherever possible. Instead go directly to the questions, which often directly reference a graph. Read the data, answer the question and move on.</p>
<p>^ but what about those stupid questions when it asks you something like" how does experiment 1 differ than experiment 2"?</p>
<p>Well, you will probably have to do SOME reading, just not most of it. In the reading passage, you can almost always skip the introductory paragraph and drop down to the last paragraph which describes the experiment. Learn to skim for key words. Sometimes the graphs already have all you need – look at the labels (experiment 1, experiment 2)</p>
