I suck at ACT Science. My score is typically ~30. I am planning to major in STEM.
However, ACT Science does not test actual science knowledge; instead, it tests speed, logic, and reading ability.
How would a low science score look as a STEM major?
bump
For starters, don’t bump after a few hours. give people time to respond. For future reference, you need to wait several days after the last response before bumping. Also, it’s helpful to place a thread in the correct subforum to get responses, so I’ve moved.
Now to your question. It’s generally considered that the science section is the least important part, but nobody is going to be able to quantify it more than that. Additionally, like your earlier thread, I think you are spending too much time worrying about “what ifs.” Your actual might be higher. Finally, if you are really concerned, try the SAT.
It depends what you mean by stem… engineering requirements tend to differ greatly. Colleges don’t care about ACT sections specifically. I would say even though a 30 isn’t great, it isn’t embarrassingly low (also depends what you got on the other ACT sections/overall). Just make sure to compensate with something colleges do care about, like a strong AP score or SAT II score in math (preferably math II), chem or physics.
Of course they care about the science section, for a stem major. And math. And the more competitive the college, the other scores, too.
To the OP: “speed, logic, and reading ability” are very important for a STEM major. Don’t discount them!
