[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my 10th grader was set to take a practice ACT this morning via zoom. I printed out the test questions and when she told me she didn't have enough science to take the ACT, we looked at the science section. Sure enough, the first handful of science questions were straight physics (not terribly hard but completely undoable unless you've studied it). So she did not take the practice test. Too bad because I feel she may do better on the ACT format. [/quote]
can someone address how science was handled to prepare for the ACT?[/quote]

A lot of the science tests reading comprehension/decoding, not straight up science.  Neither of my DC had physics in high school but they both aced the ACT (including the science section - 35 for each).[/quote]
Ok thanks. I didn't realize the science portion was also a reading comprehension section rather than straight science formulas or reactions or knowledge questions. DC is strong in science generally (but has not had physics yet). We're trying to reduce hard reading/comprehension which she's a bit weak on in a test setting (although fine at home and at school).
