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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

I am an incoming student at Washington University in St. Louis. I have been passionate about teaching ever since I had the opportunity to teach at an Indian public school in 2018. It's one of my favorite activities the gives me genuine joy. Hopefully, I'll be able to make teaching fun for you too! L...

Most students panic when they see ACT Science passages full of unfamiliar terminology, but Emma reframes the section as a data-interpretation exercise. Her neurobiology background at Harvard means she's spent years extracting conclusions from graphs, tables, and conflicting research viewpoints — exa...

I'm a recent Stanford graduate (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science), and have been working at a major Management Consulting firm for a few years now. I personally scored a 2360 (out of 2400) on the SAT and 35 on the ACT and was successful in gaining admission to several top universities. I'...

Hi! My name is Alexandra, and I am a Princeton University Neuroscience major with 5+ years of tutoring experience. I specialize in SAT/ACT/PSAT prep and have successfully taught topics ranging from computer science and basic sciences to elementary reading and writing and college essay writing. In hi...

The ACT Science section isn't really a science test — it's a test of how quickly you can read graphs, interpret conflicting viewpoints, and pull relevant data from dense passages. Grace scored a 35 ACT composite and teaches students to treat each Science passage as a data-reading exercise, zeroing i...

Most students panic when they see the ACT Science section's dense graphs and conflicting-viewpoint passages, but the section is really a reading comprehension test in disguise. Chelsey, who earned a 35 composite, teaches students to extract data points from tables and figures systematically, ignorin...

Most students panic when they see the ACT Science section's dense graphs and conflicting-viewpoint passages, but the section is really a speed-reading exercise disguised as science. Mo treats it that way — teaching students to extract trends from data tables and figures without getting lost in unfam...

I am originally from Alabama and graduated from Birmingham-Southern College with a BA in English Language and Literature. Immediately after undergrad, I relocated to New York City to pursue my law degree at Fordham University. After earning my Juris Doctor and passing the NY bar exam, I worked for f...

Most students panic when they see an ACT Science passage full of unfamiliar terminology, but the section is really a data-interpretation exercise in disguise. Matthew runs an immunology research lab at Columbia, so reading graphs, interpreting experimental controls, and evaluating conflicting hypoth...
