<p>Is it true that they recently changed the science portion of the ACT so that you now have to know outside knowledge for it?</p>
<p>I checked the ACT booklet on their official site and nothing has changed for the year 2007.</p>
<p>I could be wrong though, but I'm 95% sure that nothing has changed.</p>
<p>hmmm...yeah i was wondering the same thing. because on the february one, i'm pretty sure that on the DNA passage the were a few questions that could not have been answered without some biology. same with a question about gases i think. so i don't know.</p>
<p>^^ I thought so, but maybe not. The circuit question stumped me.</p>
<p>what was the circuit question...ill help</p>
<p>Meh don't remember anymore, but maybe I just didn't read it hard enough. it's all in there you just have to know how to find it I guess.</p>
<p>You don't have to have an in depth knowledge of science, just the basics.</p>
<p>I don't know if it's changed but I took it at the end of my junior year (last year) and my science courses up to that point were sufficient (integrated physics & chemistry, biology, chemistry).</p>
<p>Am I totally screwed with the science portion of ACT? I haven't taken the ACT yet, but I'm taking it in october and I haven't taken Biology for a pretty long time, I don't really remember anything. What kind of questions do they ask, are they really like in-depth?</p>
<p>You shouldn't really have to know anything to answer the questions, but it helps. There are three types of questions- Chart/Graph, Experiments, and the Opposing Viewpoints. If you can analyze a graph/chart, figure out independent/dependent variables in experiments, and read, you'll do fine on the Science section. But it helps to know the material.</p>
