Top 10 Tips for the ACT Science Section

The ACT Science section is the fourth section of the ACT, and the final multiple-choice section on the test. During the Science section, you'll be asked to answer 40 multiple-choice questions corresponding to six or seven passages. These questions focus extensively on scientific reasoning; only a handful will test scientific facts. After the Science section, you may or may not go on to the ACT Essay...but unlike the essay, the ACT Science is a required part of the ACT--so it's important to be prepared. But don't worry--in this video, Magoosh’s ACT expert Kat will give you her top 10 tips to help you ace the ACT Science section!
