Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>Ok,</p>

<p>Starting off, I have read sooo many of the CC posts and threads and want to thank everyone for his/her advice.</p>

<p>I'm a rising senior, and I plan to take the Sept. ACT. I'm aiming for at least a 34.
After applying what many had suggested on CC, I've practiced all of June to get my math, reading, and English scores to a 34+/-2 (with a few stupid mistakes). I will keep practicing those all summer to eliminate silly mistakes. </p>

<p>But then... there's the science section. I stink at it, and I feel awful because I'm a science nerd (ugh :( ). I run out of time (I need like 2-3 mins extra) and get 3-4 wrong!!
Here's how I do the 7 sections: I read the super-short introductory paragraph and jump straight to the questions. This works up until the last two passage/sections which always trip me up. I notice that I'm running out of time and... well... the whole section ends badly :(</p>

<p>Does anyone have advice that might help me, given me current situation?
I'm willing to try new approaches, but I'm so nervous. </p>

<p>Thanks,
A Stressed Senior</p>

<p>I don’t do this but I would group the passages so do the conflicting viewpoint one then the other two. Do the ones with the most questions first so that if you do run out of time you won’t miss that many questions. I got a 35 and the only strategy advice I can give is to not even read the passages. I just go right to the questions and it seemed to work for me</p>
