<p>“ACT Science, in my opinion, is really tough to do well on, and is mainly about speed reading rather than science skills.” - I strongly disagree as while it is reading and by no means science, it is actually slow reading vs, very fast reading in Reading section. That was the reason for my D. (slow reader) to do very well in science without preparation.
"I think math on the ACT is one of the easier subjects to improve on - for a strong math student. " - Strongly agree and not needed to be strong math student either. The math section was the only one that D. was preparing (although math is easy for her, while math was not the best score, the best was English). The reason that it is so easy to improve is because most math on ACT is from middle school and just needs to be re-freshed. It is very easy to do by taking timed practice math tests and go over every error. There is nothing that resembles rocket scince in ACT math, it is easy math that simply got forgotten, few formulas here and there, few rules…</p>
<p>“My opinion is that reading and science are the hardest to improve upon for ACT.”
-Strongly agree since both of them are just reading. While slower reader will do poorly in reading section, there is a chance that such a reader will do greatly in science section (for references, it was 28 / 34 fomy r D. who took ACT once)</p>
