I need help with the science and math sections!!!!

Hi everyone =) Im an ap student.. i get 5s on my science tests, im really good at both bio and chem and have no porblem getting a+ on those sobjects.. Im pretty good at math too. I have an a+ on calc ab and ive always gotten over a 100 on every other math class... However, when it comes to the act i have no problem getting perfect scores in english and reading but do really bad on the math and the science. Desite getting a 36 E and 34 R my composite score went all the way down to a 31 because of the otehr to scores.. any tips on what i can do!? please please?!!

the Science section rarely ever needs any science background, its all about comprehension (think of it as another reading section, maybe this will help you out)

99.9% of answers can be found in applications to the text

the math, practice practice practice

use different books/tests
go back on every answer and see what u did wrong, and how to get it right.

on the last week before the exam go back through all ure prac exams and look atback at every question you got wrong, and ull remember not to make the same mistakes
