please help...how do some ppl get 34+ in science

<p>ill admit i despise the act science section. this is probably b/c i have trouble reading, analyzing graphs, and answering in so litlle time. does anyone have any strategies? how do you approach the science?</p>

<p>I got a 36 back in February. The only real strategy is to go extremely quickly and skip no questions. If you can't figure one out in thirty seconds, guess and move on. oh, and DO NOT read the paragraphs describing the experiments. Go STRAIGHT to the questions. Most questions don't require any of that time-consuming reading, and you can always go back to skim if you need to.</p>

<p>Agree with ephemeral2, but I suggest you DO read passages that contain NO charts, tables, figures, or any other diagrams. There are some passages with no diagrams of any sort and you DO have to read those. Just briefly read them until you have a feel to what the experiments/studies concern.</p>

<p>Which prep books should I get? I already have the Real ACT book.</p>

<p>I got McGraw-Hill's 10 ACT practice Tests, which was really good and similar to the ACT I took in October, imo.</p>

<p>have to disagree with armybratkl - i got 34+ on 5 of those 10 tests, and i got a 32 in september. </p>

<p>although i did take the 5 practice tests back in june =/. not sure how much that has to do with it =[</p>

<p>Just hope you get lucky and know the stuff. I didn't know any of september stuff but knew almost all of the october ones</p>

<p>it jsut seems kind of impossible w/ less than a min per problem</p>

<p>Science and reading have the hardest scales. To get 34 in both the most you can usually miss is 2.</p>
