In Desmond’s words
The ACT science section is a reading test with graphs on it, and students lose it on the clock rather than on the content.
We time every passage from the second lesson on.

You pick a question out of that pile and the two of you finish it together, out loud.

The score sat still through two attempts on my own. Working the four question types I kept missing, over and over, moved it a full band on the third try.

Four practice papers, each one scored and walked through inside the same week. My daughter came out of the last one in the top 10%.
