That means that you have about 53 seconds to spend on each question.  \n5 Must Know ACT Science Tips (Source: [http://grockit.com/](http://grockit.com/))  \nACT Science Tip \\#1: Follow the recommended ACT science method  \n1. Read the passage, identifying and marking the purpose of the experiment, the method used, and the results.  \n2. Scan figures, identifying variables and patterns.  \n3. Find support for the answer in the passage.  \nACT Science Tip \\#2: Know the ACT science passage types  \n􀁸 Data Representation (3 of this type): presents information about a topic  \n􀁸 Research Summary (3 of this type): presents a series of experiments  \n􀁸 Conflicting Viewpoints (1 of this type): discusses different theories about a single topic  \nACT Science Tip \\#3: Know the ACT science question types  \n1. Figure Interpretation – examine tables & graphs  \n2.  \nrelationship  \nof  \nKaren H. Reeves  \nEdmund Burke Academy  \nbetween the variables, plot data from a curve  \n3. Scientific Reasoning – understand the reasons behind an experimental setup  \nACT Science Tip \\#4: Know the commonly used terms  \n􀁸 Independent variable: the variable that scientists intentionally change  \n􀁸 Dependent variable: the variable that the scientists are measuring  \n􀁸 Constants: parts of the experiment that the scientists keep the same  \n􀁸 Direct relationship: As the independent variable increases or decreases, the dependent variable does the same  \n􀁸 Indirect relationship: As the independent variable increases or decreases, the dependent variable does the opposite  \nACT Science Tip \\#5: Know your overall ACT science strategy  \n1. When tackling the ACT science section, ask yourself:  \n􀁸 What did the scientists study?  \n􀁸 How did they study it?  \n􀁸 What did they find?  \n􀁸 Why is the experiment set up this way?  \n􀁸 What is measured? What is controlled by the scientists?  \n􀁸 Is there a pattern?  \n􀁸 What are the similarities? What are the differences?  \n2. Knowthatthe halfway mark is at about 17 minutes – you should be done with 20 questions at that point  \n3. Circle detail words in the question stem like “NOT,” “Experiment 1 ,″ “Table 1.″  \n1. Know What to Expect  \nFor passage topics, ACT pulls content from biology, chemistry, physics, and the Earth/space sciences such as astronomy, geology, and meteorology. Most of the questions can be answered from the information presented in the passages or figures, but be prepared for 3 to 4 questions that require outside knowledge. You need to be able to  \n􀁸 look up data and trends  \n􀁸 make predictions  \n􀁸 synthesize information  \n􀁸 All of the passages fall within 3 categories.  \n\n| Types of ACT Science Passages |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Charts and Graphs | 5 questions each | 􀁸\u003Cbr>􀁸 | Always come with figures Contain 1 or more charts, tables, graphs, or illustrations |\n| Experiments | 6 questions each | 􀁸\u003Cbr>􀁸\u003Cbr>􀁸 | Usually come with figures\u003Cbr>Describe several experiments Include more text than the Charts and Graphs passages do |\n| Opposing Viewpoints | 1 passage, 7 questions | 􀁸\u003Cbr>􀁸\u003Cbr>􀁸 | Sometimes come with figures Feel more like the passages on ACT Reading Test\u003Cbr>Ask you to compare, contrast, and synthesize different viewpoints |\n\n2. Order the Passages  \nACT doesn’t present the passages in order of difficulty. But on every exam, some are easier than others, while some are truly tough. Scan the passages and tackle the one that looks easiest, first. You don’t want to spend too much time on the most difficult passages only to run out oftime on questions you can answer more easily.  \n3. Decide if you will do questions Now, Later, or Never  \nYour goal with all the science passages is to find the main point. You will spot the main point faster when those conclusions are presented in figures rather than in text. So, the easier the figures are to “read,” the faster you’ll crack the main point. The best passages to do Now have the most ob","cbCaivrTRSbHYCbL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivrTRSbHYCbL","pdf",230084,"English","# ACT Science Section Overview\n# 5 Must Know ACT Science Tips\n## ACT Science Tip #1: Recommended method\n## ACT Science Tip #2: Passage types\n## ACT Science Tip #3: Question types\n## ACT Science Tip #4: Common terms\n## ACT Science Tip #5: Overall strategy\n# Time Management\n## Directions to remember\n## Which passage to answer first","[{\"question\":\"How much time does the ACT Science section give per question?\",\"answer\":\"The section is 35 minutes long with 40 questions, giving about 53 seconds per question.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main ACT Science passage types?\",\"answer\":\"The passages fall into three categories: Charts and Graphs, Experiments, and Opposing Viewpoints.\"},{\"question\":\"What does “independent variable” and “dependent variable” mean in ACT Science?\",\"answer\":\"The independent variable is what scientists intentionally change, and the dependent variable is what scientists measure.
