Is The ACT Science Based On Luck??

It is almost certainly based on luck. I took the ACT 3 times this year. Each time I walked in without any prep, and my science scores varied greatly. The first was a 31, the second was a 35, and the third was a 33. The first time I took it, the test was definitely harder, dealing with subjects I had never encountered in one of the topics. The second test was ridiculously easy, almost to the point that it felt like it was a test designed for freshmen. The third was about as hard as the first, but by this point I was pretty well practised, and so was able to do a little better. I strongly recommend taking the test multiple times to try to get an easy version.

If you want a tip on how to take it, I can tell you what I did to get my 35: Don’t bother reading the info on the studies. Just skip directly to the questions and then skim to find the words in the text that match up with the words in the question. This method eliminates any struggle you would have with the time constraint and doesn’t rely on you remembering anything for the text. As long as you have a vague understanding on what the test is talking about, it works.
