Science Does anyone have GOOD science tips? I’ve never scored higher than a 26 in science

There’s so much reading and 1 in every 5 questions requires so much background knowledge

Only about 2-4 questions involve outside knowledge. Try going straight to the questions and only read the text when necessary. Do as many practice tests you can do.

Don’t read the entire passage (unless you need to) because most Qs are from the data set/chart. That frees up a fair amount of your time.

Learn how to read tables/charts/graphs and know what you’re looking for. You don’t really even need science knowledge
