<p>I know that for the SAT, there are lots of different ways to take on the reading section (read questions first then approach the passage, etc. etc.). What is the best way to approach the science section on the ACT??? Please be specific!</p>
<p>With prayer lol :p</p>
<p>I have no idea…I guess just do it like nike lol.</p>
<p>My personal strategy (maybe not the best) is to jump straight to the questions, and then hunt for the answers. There is no time to read without a specific purpose.</p>
<p>Scan the experiment for a few seconds and then jump into the questions while referring back.</p>
<p>I usually go straight to the questions and it works pretty well for me. Usually the question will include something like “According to figure 2…blah blah blah” and it makes it easy to find the info that you need.</p>
<p>like engineer, i scan the experiment for like 10 seconds and jump to the questions. that way i can at least grasp a bit of whats going on without wasting time.</p>
<p>identify which kind of science you are best at. then go at those first. </p>
<p>for practice on speed, i recommend you to buy the mcgraw hill 10 practice tests and only do the science sections. my score jumped 7 points after doing all the practice tests. i would subtract a minute off the 1st practice test and end up subtracting 5 minutes off toward the end. so i learned to pace myself and when i took the science section on the real one, i actualy had a minute and 30 sec to spare 
</p>
<p>good luck guys! don’t be disappointed at a low science score. just practice and it’ll be fine!</p>
<p>Scan information quickly and read questions/refer to experiment.</p>
<p>^ Same as above.</p>
<p>The best strategy, like many have already said, is to skip the passages for the experiments. Most of the questions will just ask you to refer to a graph/diagram/chart, however, there will be one or two questions that you might just have to wing based on previous knowledge. The infamous “neuron” answer on the February ACT is a perfect example of these answers that are found nowhere in the text.
Also, if the section with the two different experimenters are present, read that one very fast. The questions following the “experiment 1” and “experiment 2” passages will all pertain to their similarities and differences, so reading is essential for that one.
In the end, if you still have any questions blank on your answer booklet, I would just choose one letter choice, and mark the remainder of your blank answers with that letter. For me, I feel like I have a better chance getting at least one or two right if I mark them all one letter than if I just randomly choose letters. </p>
<p>Hope this helps, but again, strategies are different for every person.</p>
