What year are you at and how much preparation have you done before your first ACT attempt?
My D got 31 in practice at the end of sophomore year. After a summer of preparation doing 20-30 practice tests, she got a 35 in Junior. During the summer, she did daily section practice and went through the answers and explanations for each question she missed. She did one full timed practice each week or every other week to monitor the progress. The science section is more about test skills. Doing more practice will help. You may try to go through the questions and look for the answer from the data directly without spending much time on the text.
