<p>All of these are composite 33, but my goal is a 34. My English and Math are really good, but i am so inconsistent with reading and science. My goal is to get a 33 in both, but how can i become more consistent. Does anyone have tips on these tests, especially the reading one.</p>
<p>Well, as someone who does better at reading and science, I may be able to help. I got 33’s on both on my first ACT and am looking to get 36 and 34 on the September one.</p>
<p>Reading: Spend 2 full minutes reading the passage and absorbing information (you should spend an average of 8:45 per passage obviously). If you read carefully you will find that most of the questions can be answered very quickly. If a question refers to something specific in the text than you should remember the general area in the text to look for the answer. In addition, some answers will be so obvious that there is no need to look back in the text. Just remember that every answer will be DIRECTLY talked about in the text. If you put an answer and cannot find support for it, it is wrong.</p>
<p>Science: Do not read the intro paragraphs unless necessary for a question. Usually the question will direct you to a specific table or graph and ask you to find or interpret certain data. This is a test of reading graphs, not science. Underlining terms helps alot for me in deciphering the complex terms. All science questions are less complicated than they appear.</p>
<p>Since you do so well on the math could you offer some advice really quick? I’m getting 30-32 on all my practice tests while my english/reading/science scores are around 35-36. I usually get none wrong on #1-45 but then timing becomes an issue. I’ll have 1 wrong by #50 and then miss at least half of questions 50-6o.</p>
<p>I have some math advice (even though you weren’t asking me lol). The key for me in the math is, is you have a Ti-84 or 83 PROGRAM THAT SUCKER! Download the new operating system. You can finish half the questions with it. Also, I have a program for quadratic formula and a few conic sections. They are all on google and youtube. I used to finish the math right on time but now I finish a good 5 minutes early with time to check over my work, stretch, breathe etc. So yeah, it’s not about you not knowing enough. It’s just about the calculator saving you time and guaranteeing correct answers. And by the way, this isn’t cheating! As long as you use an acceptable calculator, whatever programs are on it are fair game!</p>

This is the new operating system! I don’t know if you have it or not already. But by pressing alpha Y=, window, zoom, trace, or graph, the calculator will give you a list of operations to perform ranging from adding fractions to solving logs and summations.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, those are the only ones in my internet history. I kind of went on a googling/downloading spree one afternoon and none of these sites were recommended to me so I don’t have memorized. But the operating system will help a ton. I’ll try and surf for where I found the others ones!</p>
<p>Thanks for advice. I do good in math because I know all the material, so if I were you I would get as much math prep as possible. The more practice, the faster you get. Once you do, go fast, but carefully. Sorry, but that is pretty much all the advice I have.</p>
