I am taking the ACT this Saturday. What are some simple things I can do to improve my Science score?

<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I have taken the ACT twice thus far. My science scores were...</p>

<p>Science: 24 (October)</p>

<p>Science: 23 (Science)</p>

<p>Raising the score to at least to a 28 would be a great help. </p>

<p>I know that I can't really do much to change dramatically but little tips could definitely assist me in my endeavor. </p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>The science section is filled with jargon to confuse you. The main thing to do is to focus and interpret the graphs as much as you can. I hope this helped :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Timing is key on the science.
Spend only 5 minutes per passage.</p>

<p>Try to go in this order</p>

<ol>
<li>Data Analysis Questions 5 questions</li>
<li>Research summaries 6 questions</li>
<li>Viewpoints 7 questions</li>
</ol>

<p>As @pandalove said, most of the answers are in the graphs/tables.</p>

<p>I use the written content to label the graphs and tables. I really mark them up. I take 2 minutes to do this. I used to read the whole passage, but it confused me more, so now i just use the information to mark up the graphs and tables.</p>

<p>Good luck on Saturday. I am hoping for a 28 or 29, too!</p>

<p>Read the questions first. Many of the questions can be answered by just looking at the graphs and by not reading the passage.</p>

<p>Good luck Georgecarlin!</p>
