I’m having trouble finishing the science portion of the ACT. There’s always 8-10 questions that I am forced to bubble in straight answers.

Would it be more beneficial to just rush straight to the questions? I’m barely skimming the text already.

I already know that the science section is more of interpreting graphs than actual science. I only manage my time efficiently for one or two passages until I see foreign terms and for some reason that slows me down, especially on the questions.

Also, I am taking the writing portion for the first time this Saturday. I have taken AP Language and Composition last year so I have some experience. What tips do you have?

Lastly, is the KAPLAN online prep worth the money? I have a 29 composite at the moment and I want at least a 32. Also, I do not know whether I should get the prep courses or the tutoring as I do not know which would benefit me more.
