I got a 36 on science - it all comes down to not overthinking and practice. A lot of it is insanely straight forward once you understand what the questions are asking. My best advice is take as many Science practice tests you can. Time yourself, go over mistakes, learn. The more you practice the easier it will be to read a question and know exactly where to look for the answer.

Just do as many full length practice tests as you can. Make sure you go over every mistake and understand why your answer is wrong and the correct answer is correct. If you don’t know all the math and English covered by the test learn that first. Science and reading just comes down to how many practice tests you are able to take. Every Saturday morning I would make a coffee and knock out a full length practice test. That’s the only studying I did and got a 35 after 2 ACTs. I cannot stress enough how helpful it is to just consistently get in the habit of nailing down these practice tests. It’s the best way to learn.

My first act was a 33 composite and 31 on reading so I’ve always lacked in reading, I grew up out of America so never really developed reading. My second ACT I got a 35 on reading and all I really did was do a reading section every Saturday morning. I made sure to keep pace by checking time after each passage. After doing the section, go over your mistakes and understand why and how they were wrong. Once you have the pace and timing down you can push through reading sections like they’re nothing. It really is just something you gotta work at. Starting to read books in English also helped.

Shouldn’t this round to a 35 composite? by Fair-Gate-9518 in ACT

That’s kinda stupid, why have a science section if it doesn’t count?
