Mastering Your Time

The ACT Science section gives you only 35 minutes for 40 questions. To finish on time:

Don’t get stuck on one question—move on and return later if needed.

Staying calm and organized helps you maximize your score!

Examples

  • Answering all the graph questions first before tackling complex experiments
