Science Matters?

<p>Is this section looked at? It's not on the SAT.</p>

2

<p>its the MOST looked at of all the sections, you know. of course its looked at. and so what if its not on the SAT. the SAT sucks dude.</p>

3

<p>!!! WHy is it the most looked at?</p>

4

<p>I don't know if it's the MOST looked at. I'd guess it is important if your major is anything science-related</p>

5

<p>Plus, it affects your composite score.</p>

6

<p>I dont think any section is really looked at, eh? Just the composite, right?</p>

7

<p>Yeah. But think about this--what if your score was something like 31-32-31-22 (on science), composite score 29? Not to say it would actually happen, but still...it would be really aggravating since all of your other scores were above 30.</p>

8

<p>oh its looked at from curiousity, since its the most unpredicteble section</p>

<p>The two sections thatare probably the most important are the English and Math sections. They are sometimes used for placement in Freshman-level courses.</p>

10

<p>two things:</p>

<p>A) The science section has nothing really to do with knowing science.
B) The science section is really just another reading and comprehension section. You must comprehend faster on this section is all.</p>

<p>My opinion is that it doesn't matter very much because it doesn't actually test knowledge.</p>

<p>The math, english, and reading sections matter the most.</p>

<p>The SAT and ACT are both almost entirely about reasoning, not knowledge. That's why you prepare by practicing on old questions, not by studying rules.</p>

<p>If you're very familiar with many science concepts and have a lot of experience with science labs then the science section will be easier for you. But even without that knowledge it's about reasoning, not knowledge. Hence the official section name, "Science Reasoning."</p>

<p>Since the section simply measures your reasoning ability, it is important. The ACT and SAT are fundamentally different in several ways, so the fact that there's no science section in the SAT means nothing.</p>

<p>I agree that English and Math are the most important, though.</p>
