Accepted at all U.S. colleges alongside the SAT, the ACT offers students a choice in admissions tests. Some students avoid the ACT, though, because of its Science section.
Fear of the ACT Science section is often misplaced. (There are also science questions throughout the SAT, although there is no specific Science section.) The ACT Science test uses scientific language and reasoning, but rarely requires any specific knowledge from science classes. The section contains two to three data representation passages, three to four research summaries, and a passage that compares the commentary of two or more scientists.
Many of the skills tutored by Key Academics for the ACT Reading section, such as staying engaged and mapping a passage, can also be applied to the Science test. Key Academics also offers actual ACT and SAT tests that are analyzed to determine which test will produce better results with tutoring.
