Inconsistency in the Science sections

Test Preparation ACT Preparation
1

<p>While preparing for the June ACT, I've noticed something about the Science section that i was hoping to run by you guys to see if you have recognized the same thing. Basically I've noticed there are two different types of tests, there's "practical science" and there's "technical science." </p>

<p>For example in the Real ACT prep book, the science section in the first test is more practical. The questions are about earth sciences like Lava, plant types, expansion and contraction of metals, the atmosphere, shrimp migration, and fire.</p>

<p>The science section in test 2 is completely different. the passages are more technical science like light and heat, carbon monoxide, microscopes, wavelengths, expansion of gasses, polypeptide molecules, and calcite in seawater.</p>

<p>I got a 36 on the first test, and a 28 on the second (I know ***). Does anyone else agree with me that it comes down to the luck of the draw of which science section you get on the real test. I for one find no consistency with the type of questions asked on different tests. Any input is appreciated</p>

<p>i just took those as well and i got a 32 on the 1st science then a 25 on the 2nd…</p>

<p>Ugh. really?</p>

<p>The first and only time I took it before, I wound up with a 27 or a 28 on science…
Maybe tomorrow, I’ll end up with a nicer number :)</p>

<p>Yeah it is difficult to study for. I’d say if you are confident you can get the portions down in time, that’s about all you can do for Reading and Science. Hope for the best tomorrow! :)</p>

<p>I actually did better on the second science section versus the first (36 vs. 35). Even though the subjects were a bit more theoretical and abstract, I thought the questions were still about the same difficulty as other science questions that I’ve encountered.</p>
