Most students panic when they see an unfamiliar experiment on the ACT Science section, but the test is really about interpreting graphs, tables, and conflicting viewpoints under time pressure. Sugi's dual background in biochemistry and cognitive science — plus years of reading dense research literat...

I'm currently a freshman at Rice University studying applied math. I've always had a love for sharing knowledge with others, and I started tutoring when I was a junior in high school. As a former AP student and a National AP Scholar, I have the experience necessary to guide my students through chall...

The ACT Science section looks intimidating, but it's really a test of how quickly students can pull data from graphs, tables, and conflicting viewpoints — not how much biology or chemistry they remember. Jiatian, who has spent years interpreting research data in medical school, teaches students to i...

I am a rising sophomore at Rice University in Houston, Texas. I am majoring in Social Policy Analysis with minors in global health technologies and biochemistry and cell biology. I am passionate about refugee advocacy, global health, and women's education. I am also on the pre-med track and hope to ...

The ACT Science section barely tests science knowledge — it's really about reading graphs, interpreting conflicting viewpoints, and drawing conclusions from data under time pressure. Raj's biochemistry training at Rice means he reads experimental setups instinctively, and he teaches students to do t...

I am a rising sophomore in Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. I am majoring in security studies thinking about working in counterterrorism. As far as tutoring style, I think it is really important not to give the student the answers but to ask them questions and help them come up wit...

Most students overthink the ACT Science section because they assume it requires deep content knowledge — it doesn't. Wendy treats it as a data-interpretation exercise, teaching students to pull answers directly from graphs, tables, and conflicting viewpoints passages without getting lost in unfamili...

Most students panic when they see unfamiliar experiments on the ACT Science section, but the questions rarely test actual science knowledge — they test whether you can read graphs, compare data trends, and evaluate conflicting hypotheses under pressure. Lila treats this section like a data-interpret...

I am a graduate of the Johns Hopkins University with a major in Behavioral Biology. I am seeking admission to MD/PhD programs so a lot of my time has been spent in the lab, from a computational neuroscience lab at Hopkins to a genome editing lab at Rice. That being said, I have extensive experience ...

I am currently studying petroleum engineering at The University of Houston. Although I was typically a strong student in all areas throughout high school, there were some teaching styles I encountered that complicated the material more than was necessary. In fact, I avoided certain subjects for seve...

I'm Aurnab. I'm a Bioengineering student at Rice University. I've been tutoring since high school. Due to my wide background in a variety of subjects that I've studied, I have a very interdisciplinary approach to tutoring that can be tailored to any student to achieve results.

A biochemistry and neuroscience degree means Yasmin actually understands the science behind ACT Science passages — but she'll be the first to tell students that's not what the section tests. She breaks down the real skill: interpreting data tables, conflicting viewpoints, and experimental designs un...

Most students panic when they see the ACT Science section's dense graphs and conflicting hypotheses, but the questions rarely require actual science knowledge — they test data interpretation. As a biomedical engineering major at Rice, Theresa reads experimental data every day and shows students how ...

Most students panic when they see the ACT Science section's dense graphs and conflicting-viewpoints passages, but the section is really a data-interpretation test in disguise. Jessy, a biosciences major at Rice on the premed track, teaches students to read figures before reading text and to distingu...

The ACT Science section barely tests science knowledge — it's really about reading graphs, comparing experimental setups, and drawing conclusions from data under time pressure. Lawrence's data science training at NYU makes this his natural territory, and he teaches students to extract trends from fi...
