<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I have been taking the ACT test and i keep doing horribly on the science and reading section. Does anyone have any tips or strategies to score in the 30's for the reading and science sections?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Well I recommend taking consistent timed practice tests and reading each explanation. Thats what I did. My tip for reading is to never make assumptions (generalizations) and cross out any answers that are not mentioned in the essay. Also check if the answer has a bold statement like always (they are usually wrong). Another tip is to maybe try the questions that give line numbers first then do the main idea questions so you can get a clearer idea of the essay as a whole. Also try to never read a sentence more than once (try to actively read). I like to underline key words and jot some notes next to sentences. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>The science section doesn’t test your actual knowledge of science as much as your graph reading skills. Just do a lot of practice tests to get good at picking out what you need from the information given. Don’t overthink it.</p>
