More ACT Science Questions

I have tried the “look at the questions and then refer to the graphs/data” method and it has failed me. I got a 29 on the Science section last time, which was one of my lower scores, but with this method I actually got lower than a 29 on a practice test. I found the method generally worked on the graph questions, but not so much for the data and arguing scientists ones. I’m a little worried for Saturday so I have a couple of questions for the science pros:

How do you understand the data problems? I mean, to me, it seemed like a good portion of the questions were data-based but it also asks a lot about problem set up. How do you know how to answer this if you have skipped over the setup? So I guess, specifically, which parts do you actually skip?
How do you go about the arguing scientists passage? It’s obviously time-consuming, so do you just leave it for last?
Do you have any other specific advice?


I know there are like, 24,000 of these threads on CC, but I have some pretty specific questions so I made a new post.

Thanks for any help :)
