How the heck do I get my science up?!

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>So I took the test in April and got a composite of a 29 thanks to not finishing the science section (got a 25) but in everything else I had 30+. How can I get it up? My first time I got a science 24 and I did finish, this time I had 5+ to go and didn't finish because I actually took my time to make sure I wasn't rushing and making stupid mistakes like I did on practice tests and my score in science went up by 1 without finishing, so obviously I just need to speed up a bit more yet still take my time. Any tips? I didn't finish English either and guessed blindly on about 7 (I had originally skipped them since I was between two choices and wanted to check them then ran out of time to go back and didn't even get to guess the ones I had narrowed it down to and still got a 30 so I guess that's pretty good under the circumstances. I guess I'm just hoping to improve a point or two there which I think I can easily do and possibly do the same with math to save my butt on the science section in case I need it again. Reading was fine with a 33. So any tips overall? Especially science?</p>

<p>Also, I'm really afraid I'll get a harder test and do worse. Has this happened to anyone? I know a kid who went from a 29 to 33 doing nothing, simply because he had an easier test. I was so close to the 30 threshold, grr!</p>

<p>I just typed a whole thing about how similar my situation was to yours and then it didn’t post! Basically I don’t feel like retyping it, but I’m trying to increase my speed on science in order to increase my composite score as well. I’ll post later on if I find any helpful techniques.</p>

<p>I totally screwed up on that test I got a 18 on it , I want to get a 26. Any tips from former testers, please???</p>

<p>For me, skip the passages, go straight to the questions and the corresponding graph. Reading the passge/intro is a waste of time. There’s no useful info there.</p>

<p>i second ch0iminy…
the only passage you really have to read is the opposing viewpoints section…most of the other questions are straight from the graphs/charts</p>

<p>all my friends got 35 or 36 on the science section…=[ but I was the only one who got a 29,I’m really desperate to learn those “techniques” of yours joewii</p>
