Why is ACT Science often considered the most frustrating and chaotic section on the ACT? What kind of science does it actually test? The Master Key to ACT Science is systematically designed to thoroughly crack this dreaded chaos and provide both motivated and frustrated self-studiers with a crystal-clear roadmap to mastering the science section of the ACT and maximizing their ACT Science scores. FEATURES include The big picture of ACT Science: what's actually tested & what to focus on for the best results. The strategic MASTER KEY FORMULA = the shortest way to reach correct answers with speed and accuracy, outsmarting the test's overwhelming rush and chaos. All QUESTION PATTERNS on ACT Science = Your key to beating the clock! ACT Science questions follow consistent patterns. With the whole science section broken down into repeated patterns, mastering these patterns, you master the test! Recognizing which pattern the question at hand belongs to and knowing how to handle it allow you to think much less about what to do and answer it far faster with a minimal amount of reading. Tips, skills, and strategies specifically designed for every question pattern: each pattern is described in-depth in a separate sub-chapter with detailed examples to walk you through, so you will be able to recognize and master each, and eventually all, of the patterns there are on ACT Science.Sound strategies for swiftly reading and tackling the "Debating Scientists" or "Conflicting Viewpoints" passage to help you ace what many students consider the hardest one.20 drills + 4 chapter tests (full-length) to apply each and every pattern learned to real-test-style questions for total familiarity.3 full-length science practice tests, formatted just like the real ACT Science Test, to exercise what you've acquired from this guide to master ACT Science and raise your score.A comprehensive review of "outside" science knowledge that covers all of the content pertaining to biology, chemistry, physics, and earth/space sciences tested by the ACT for perfect scorers.6 real ACT Science Tests thoroughly explained! To maximize your ACT science score, you must know what the real testing experience feels like and thus cannot afford to do without ultimately practicing on real ACT Science questions, the diamond benchmark of authenticity set by the makers of the ACT that nobody can emulate. Thorough references to real ACT Science questions that fit the patterns described in this guide and in-depth answer explanations for the science sections of 6 real ACT Tests are provided herein, including ACT 74FPRE and ACT 72CPRE. While the real tests themselves are copyrighted materials and thus are not included in this book, many of them - floating around on the Internet - are publicly accessible. This perfect practice will let you apply what you've mastered from this guide to optimize your fluency with ACT Science and ensure that very few science questions will, if ever, surprise you on your ACT test day. BONUS!Owning a copy of THE MASTER KEY TO ACT SCIENCE entitles you to free access to a continuously updated databank of ACT Science prep resources available online (see inside). You can keep practicing your way to perfection with guidance on applying the essence of this guide to more real ACT Science questions and in-depth answer explanations for the science sections of the latest Official ACT Prep Guide!
