Should I take biology before I take the ACT?

<p>Hey everyone. I'm in a community college right now, and I have to take the ACT sometime before I transfer. What I'm wondering, is should I wait until after I've taken biology to take it? The math, english, and reading parts I'll be fine on. I'll have intro Chem and General Chem I and II done before I take it...and I'll also have general physics I and at least Calculus Physics I done before I take it. Should I wait until after I've taken biology? </p>

<p>I'm going to have two more years at my CC before I transfer, and I'd most likely be taking bio in fall 2014. I'll be transferring in fall of 2015.</p>

<p>doesnt matter, as long as you know basic bio u learned from high school you will be fine, no need for in depth college biology</p>

<p>There really isn’t any science at all on the ACT. They give you charts and all the information you need to answer the questions. (it’s kind of like logic, really, and research skills) </p>

<p>Just get used to skimming through information and inferring things thoroughly, and you’ll be fine!</p>

<p>I actually never took biology in high school because I didn’t complete high school. Because of extenuating circumstances, I basically had to drop out and get a GED. So, I’ve never taken biology, but I have done a fair amount of self study with it.</p>

<p>I’ve read this before actually. So, it sounds like I might not have much to worry about. That’s good to know.</p>

<p>The ACT science section is not science at all. All it is is lab and data analysis. They give you passages and you have to interpret them. It depends on the person you are.</p>

<p>That sounds incredibly simple. Reading comprehension and analysis comes very easily to me, so I don’t imagine I’ll have much trouble with that from the sounds of it. I’ve got the real act book and the Kaplan book, and I’m planning on going over them this summer, so from the sounds of it I don’t think I’ve got much to worry about.</p>

<p>The material on the science section is relatively easy, but there are 40 questions (seven situations) in 35 minutes. Practice is definitely the best preparation, since you have to get used to interpreting graphs and tables VERY quickly. Once you can master that, the science section should be a breeze for you. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for excellent advice everyone! I’ve still got a good while before I’ve actually gotta take it, so I’ll have plenty of time to get prepared for it.</p>
