ya you have to know very litttle science to do well on the sciene section

just know how to read a graph, may sound easy but they put some tricky ones up there. I'm not excellenct at science but i like charts and graphs so I did better on science than i expected

I think it helps to be well acquainted with science, though. vocab terms, concepts, etc won't trip you up on charts and so on.
even though knowing their definition isn't essential to answering questions, i think it will help you go through questions quicker

but if you have some background knowledge, it never hurts...since its 40 questrions 35 minutes, for like 5 or so of the questions, it doesnt hurt if you know the answer directly (i always run out of time...)...besides some are logic questions, its obvious like if you make a baseball bat smaller, you can swing the bat faster and all that stuff (on one practice test i took)...
