DO you have easy tips and techniques for getting a high score in ACT's reading and science section?

I am poor in reading.. I need a longer time to understand a passage.. The ACT test has a limited time. So, that would mean that with one reading or a glance I can’t understand all about the pasage and leads me to a wrong answer in each question. Sometimes It happens that I don’t know what the question is talking about because I don’t understand the passage… any help? thnx =]

Question about SAT subject tests?

I registered to take two sat subject tests: biology and math level 1 on june 6th. I am a junior in high school. SOme of the colleges I am interested in require 3 sat subject tests so i will take another in october or november.

But i have read that you can change the test you take on the say of the test and you don’t have to pay the fee since they give you a booklet with all the SAT II’s in it and you just pick the ones you want? Does it matter which one’s I registered for? I am definitely taking the one for bio in june?

I am taking the SATs soon and should i take courses or use the books?

I’ll be taking the SAT soon in around 4 months from now. I was wondering what is better? Should i enroll in courses or just study by the book. The price for the courses or books doesnt matter. If the course is better than studying by the book, then would it be Kaplan or Princeton? The same question also goes for the books as well.

Are certain types of calculators not allowed when taking the SAT reasoning test?

There are 4 types available to me; basic, scientific, graphic and CAS (Computer algebra system). I usually use a graphics calculator and while running through a couple of practice SAT tests, I found that my calculator could do half the questions without me having to think and waste time. So I thought there must be a restriction on types of calculators you can use. Can anyone verify this?
