IT IS NOT. The science portion is asking you to read graphs. What intimidates people the most is that the graphs have more information than the questions require, and the subject matter looks like advance calculus. The thing is, you don't need to know how the graph was made or what it's about. all you need to know is how to find the point on the graph that they are asking for and answer the question. Just look at it as being just like reading a graph in elementary school, just with other lines on the graph that you don't need. On the science portion of the exam, they will not ask you how to solve advanced chemical equations. They will ask you to find the pressure of 1 in^3 of air at 46 degrees celsius using the graph associated. All you have to do is find 46 degrees celsius on the graph and see what pressure corresponds with that temperature. The simple version is, you don't have to know what an Candela is, you just have to look at the graph to find out how many candelas correspond to liters of fuel.
