<p>From what I’ve heard/seen, you really only need to be able to read graphs and charts. I am not very good in science, so do you need to be really good at science to score high on the ACT?</p>
<p>Another question: How do you calculate the ACT composite score?</p>
<p>To answer your first question: No. I am not an amazing science student… but I am definitely above average (Reg ES, Honors Bio, Honors CHem, AP Psych, AP Bio) and I got a 35 on the actual ACT Science with very little prep (two practice tests). </p>
<p>Second question: Add up all four of the scores from the English, Math, Reading and Science sections and divide the number by four.</p>
<p>an important thing to keep in mind WRITING DOES NOT AFFECT COMPOSITE SCORE. I thought it did for nearly a year. I got a 36 on science and some background knowledge is helpful but not necissary. Just like mcvcm i do take all advanced science classes but am also a sophomore so… yeah. Just budget your time wisely and make sure you know what types of questions they can ask (like charts, graphs, 2 arguing scientists, experiments).</p>
<p>thanks guys</p>
