The ACT Science section barely tests science knowledge — it tests whether you can read a graph, compare two experimental setups, and draw a conclusion under time pressure. Sharan's 36 composite and her premed science background at Cornell mean she can teach both the data-interpretation shortcuts the...

I am a 3rd year undergrad at the University at Buffalo, working toward my Mathematics BS with a computer science concentration. I find math exceptionally fascinating; I not only aim to teach an understanding of math but also an appreciation. I have taken courses in Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus (I...

I am licensed to practice pharmacy in the state of New York. Subjects that I am the most comfortable teaching are math (up to Algebra 2), science (Biology, Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetics, etc), and certain languages (Korean, Japanese, French) at the beginner level. While dabbling in a few "teaching"...

Most students panic at the ACT Science section because it looks like it requires deep content knowledge — but it's really a data interpretation test disguised as science. Deana's background in neuroscience research means she reads graphs, conflicting hypotheses, and experimental setups fluently, and...

The ACT Science section is less about knowing chemistry or biology and more about interpreting graphs, tables, and conflicting experimental viewpoints under time pressure. Sarah scored a 35 ACT composite and treats this section as a data-literacy exercise, teaching students to identify variables and...

I'm not tutoring, I love walking through New York for design inspiration and taking carpentry, metalworking, and illustration classes.

Most students overthink the ACT Science section because they assume it requires deep content knowledge — it doesn't. Dana treats it as a data interpretation exercise, teaching students to read graphs, compare experimental setups, and identify conflicting viewpoints without getting lost in unfamiliar...

The ACT Science section is really a data interpretation exam disguised in lab coats, and Vivian teaches it that way — breaking down graphs, tables, and conflicting viewpoints without assuming any specialized science knowledge. Her perfect 36 composite came from mastering exactly this kind of strateg...

Most students panic when they see the ACT Science section, but it's really a test of graph interpretation, data comparison, and experimental design reasoning — not science knowledge. Liz teaches students to isolate variables in tables, read conflicting viewpoints passages like arguments rather than ...

Most students panic when they see ACT Science passages full of unfamiliar terminology, but the section is really a data-interpretation exercise. Richard teaches students to ignore jargon, read graphs first, and identify conflicting variables before touching the questions — a systematic method that t...

I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Com...

Treat the ACT Science section like a data-interpretation exercise, not a science exam — that's the approach Aaron takes after earning a 36 composite. His biochemistry background at Columbia means he can quickly explain the underlying science when it does matter, but he spends most of the time teachi...

The ACT Science section is really a data-interpretation exam disguised as biology and chemistry. Yocheved teaches students to ignore the jargon, zero in on graphs and tables, and identify the one variable each question actually cares about — an approach grounded in her own 34 composite score experie...

I'm a recent graduate from the University of Pennsylvania who studied Linguistics and Deaf Studies. I eventually hope to work towards breaking down barriers between the Deaf and hearing worlds and encouraging greater focus on reforming Deaf education practices.

Michelle's 35 ACT composite came from treating the Science section as a speed-reading exercise — identifying what each figure measures, matching it to the question, and moving on before the passage's technical language becomes a distraction. Her Religious Studies background actually reinforced this ...
