<p>What is your least favorite ACT section? Mine is the science section. To make it worse, i want to study medicine. I just find the science section really depressing. And the time given is so short to me! 35 minutes!!! With 7 sections!!! 7 freaking sections!!!!! I am not into physics too and it seems most questions i encounter are physics/chemistry oriented. So what is your least favorite ACT section and why?</p>
<p>Anything not science or math, haha. Probably the essay, as I get semi-panicked probing my mind for half-assed examples.</p>
<p>Definitely science.
You never know what you’re going to get, and in my opinion, you feel the time constraint the most during this section.
It IS similar to the reading section; however, in reading, there’s only a short story to analyze. In science, it can be a few sentences, a few paragraphs, graphs, charts, multiple figures, and you can easily spend 5 minutes trying to confirm which figure the question is asking about.
Thankfully, I’ve been pretty lucky with science…:)</p>
<p>Favorite: Math
2nd-fave: English
3rd-fave: essay
4th-fave: Science
5th-fave: Reading</p>
<p>The key to Science is really pacing yourself. Also, save the conflicting theories passage for last. But for real I used to always run out of time and still have like an entire passage left (got a 24 Science subscore my first ACT) but then I brought a watch with a timer and just paced myself and I ended up taking LESS time than allotted so I had 10 min leftover to check my work…got a 35! It CAN be done…I’m the slowest reader ever.</p>
<p>Science is my least favorite, except sometimes its bipolar, sometimes it seems so easy. But most of the time it sucks! 7 passages in 35 minutes! Only 5 minutes per passage! Thats crazy</p>
<p>Science is incredibly unpredictable. The first time I took the ACT, I didn’t use any strategies to take it (very, VERY, stupid). I got a 23 on the science section because I didn’t come close to finishing it.</p>
<p>I learned a few tricks. Never read the passages. Go STRAIGHT to the questions. Save the fighting scientists until the end.</p>
<p>Took the ACT again, got a 36 on the science section.</p>
<p>It’s about timing, pacing, and identifying trends. That’s it.</p>
<p>But I feel that if I don’t read the passages, I will be confused. So, right now Im trying to figure out a strategy for science part</p>
<p>@ckpckp1994- I feel the same way too! I’m always scared to skip the passages. My next practice test, i am skipping the passages to see how i do</p>
<p>Reading- So much to read, so much to answer, and so little time.</p>
<p>My least favorite is science. After that is reading.</p>
<p>Reading. Never been good at it. (29)</p>
<p>Favorite: Science. I absolutely love science, especially chemistry. I’m definitely not USABO material though. (35)</p>
<p>^ hahah, reading & science are so similar!</p>
<p>Reading, I never do well in this section ever.</p>
