<p>I got a 23 on the science section on the April 13 ACT. Need to raise it desperately and help is appreciated</p>
<p>My son watched a series of you tube videos on the science section. A guy named George standing in front of a dry erase board. He said he got some good info and tips.</p>
<p>Science should be one of the easier sections… Just remember general Biology and Science that was taught in middle school</p>
<p>Science is definitely not one of the easier ones…it has the toughest time constraint and is the last test, even though it takes the most focus. Most people agree it’s the hardest idk what you’re talking about. And you don’t need to know any science just be able to interpret data and experiments thoroughly as fast as possible</p>
<p>Easiest section precisely because it requires no knowledge- just logic.
Only way to get better is to firstly not read the paragraphs. Secondly do as many practice sections as you can and you’ll soon get better at it.
This section is the SAME every time. You will always get the same types of questions. Once you do many practice sections you will find patterns and be able to deduce the answers to the questions quickly and efficiently.
This section is the second easiest to study for (after writing which is memorizing rules) because the only way to study is to just do section after section.
Good Luck. I received a 36 for Science on the April 13th test so if you have any specific questions or just want more insight feel free to ask.</p>
<p>c/p from my post in another thread sorry :<</p>
<p>For the science I suggest doing all the 5 question passages in 4 minutes and the 6 question passages in 5 minutes giving you 8 minutes for the conflicting scientists passages which requires time to read and answer the 7 questions. For the 5 question problems which are based heavily on graphs quickly read the blurbs and answer the questions carefully but quickly. 6 question variants are the experimental so I would skim through the experiment set up so you know what is going on in the labs. The conflicting passage should be approached by reading each view point one at a time and noting differences and similarities. It also helps to write how many questions relate to one, two, both (more if there are more than two vps) and answer the ones that relate to one passage the most if possible.</p>
<p>Im taking th act in June. How many questions could I miss toget a 36 or 35 on science??</p>
<p>I’m getting tired of this guy; I had a terrible PSAT, 137, and rose it to an 1890, and a 28 ACT. Most SAT students jump 300-400 points with prep… but WHAT ARE STATISTICS? They only indicate that you’re wrong!</p>
<p>My first practice ACT was a 24, and I’m going to get a 30-32. If this is your attempt at not getting people to retake the ACT so that your score looks higher in comparison, you’re pathetic and it’s not working. Everybody---- TEST YOUR HEART OUT!</p>

<p>26 to 35 in 3 months.
All prep.
The world is going to hit you in the face, little boy.</p>
<p>@asianas1: depending on the curve, a 36 may be -0 or -1 and a 35 may be a -1 or -2. April 13th’s test had a -1 curve (I believe) so I don’t know the likelihood that the next test date will also have a curve on the science section. What do I know, though? I’ve only taken the test once.</p>

We all know you weren’t born with class or humility.</p>

<p>Tell me just how you knew when to use a comma right out of the womb? Oh, that’s right, you did not. Someone taught you.</p>
<p>Tell me just how you knew that x=2 in 3x=6 right out of the womb? Some taught you the properties and rules of math. </p>
<p>You didn’t even know your ABCs until someone taught you them. Intelligence is learned.</p>
<p>Quote, ACT:
“The ACT is curriculum based. The ACT is not an aptitude or an IQ test. Instead, the questions on the ACT are directly related to what students have learned in high school courses in English, reading, mathematics, and science. Because the ACT tests are based on what is taught in the high school curriculum, students are generally more comfortable with the ACT than they are with traditional aptitude tests or tests with narrower content.”</p>
<p>How about those people who get a 36 with hard studying? They weren’t born with it. Is their 36 less valuable than yours?</p>
<p>Do you truly believe that intelligence is inherently based? If the answer is yes, then you are not deserving of the air you breath and, quite frankly, are a waste of carbon.</p>
