Is The ACT Science Based On Luck??

On every practice test in the “Preparing for the ACT”, I was able to receive a score of 30+, but when I took the real ACT in April, I got a 25. The test was certainly harder than the practice test, and I struggled through most of it. My friend, who received a 36 in the Science portion, showed me his February 2011 ACT (where he got the 36) and to be quite honest, it was a breeze. It really affected my composite score as well, and has now given me two “weak” scores along with Reading.

So does it depend on what test you get? I never thought I would ever receive a score of 25, but it just happened.

Also, does your Science score improve as you begin to take more science courses like Chemistry. I am aware that the ACT Science is based on graph and analytical skills, but sometimes I find myself unfamiliar with the terminology present in the graphs, which falters my ability to understand it.
