How can I improve on the science section of the ACT?

<p>When I took it I really had no time at all. How do I get through the section fast and efficiently? Also, are there any sites or books that anyone recommends to help?</p>

<p>Science is ALL about speed-reading.</p>

<p>Barrons. Practice against a time clock, section by section. If you have an average of 8 questions in 8 minutes, try to finish in 6 minutes. You need to train your brain to have that time counter in the back of your head.</p>

<p>Save the dueling scientists for last.</p>

<p>Personally I did not read the background whatsoever unless it was required for the question. Often the data needed to answer the question just lies in the graphs/tables/etc. From then on it is just about being used to interpreting such data, which you can get better in by practice.</p>

<p>Don’t read any of it. Instead, go straight to the questions and scan for the information that you need to answer the questions.</p>
