Start each practice section by looking at the figures and trying to pick out what information will be important. Identify important relationships between data as you study the charts and graphs. When you practice identifying important info, it becomes easier to find the info when you are asked to on the test.

The first 2-3 questions on any science passage usually deal with simple reading of the figures, just restating presented facts without drawing conclusions. If you are in a time crunch, make sure you have time for these early questions before going back to answer the tougher ones. Better to spend your time on questions you know you can get right than on questions that many people struggle with.
