You can take a proctored ACT with ArborBridge or purchase a book of practice tests directly from the ACT or another test prep company.  \nRequest a practice test here: [https://www.arborbridge.com/contact/](https://www.arborbridge.com/contact/)  \nSTEP TWO  \nGrade your exam and identify your weaknesses.  \nCarefully consider the types of questions you got wrong. On the Science section, categorize your mistakes into these three categories:  \n1. Graphs and tables  \nPlace any data-based questions that required you to find information in a chart or related figure into this category.  \n2. Overall understanding of the passage  \nWhile some questions are easily answered from a specific piece of information, others require you to have a firm understanding of what was being investigated in the experiment or study.  \n3. Underlying science knowledge  \nSome questions require you to have knowledge of outside science topics.  \nSTEP THREE  \nEstablish a plan for preparation.  \nIf you took a practice test with ArborBridge, we will provide you with a detailed score report that includes a prioritized list of topics that you need work on.  \nIf you used The Official ACT Prep Guide, there are detailed explanations for each question. Read all the explanations for your incorrect answers and look for patterns.  \nThen, develop a list of topics that you want to review. For example, your list might look like this:  \nSTEP FOUR  \nIdentify resources and practice!  \nAsk your friends and teachers or go online and find whatever resources you think are relevant and helpful.  \nOur recommendations for resources:  \n[1. Use amazon.com](1. Use amazon.com)’s “Look Inside” feature to get a preview of a few commercially-available test prep books from major tutoring companies. Choose the one that you think best addresses the plan you created in Step 3.  \n2. Use available practice tests—either from the book you selected in  \n\\#1 above or from The Official ACT Prep Guide—to practice answering questions. ACT Science passages are very unique, so the best way to prepare is often by completing practice passages.  \n3. If pacing is an issue, check out our blog post on how to finish sections on time on the ACT: [https://www.arborbridge.com/finish](https://www.arborbridge.com/finish)sections-time-act/ .  \nSTEP FIVE  \nTrack your progress.  \nWhen you feel ready, take another timed practice test or practice section . Grade your exam, see where you’ve improved, and repeat Steps 2–5 as necessary.  \nPLUS…  \nMore tips from our test prep experts  \n\n| Experiment with not reading any of the passage. |\n| --- |\n| You heard us right.
