<p>There is science on the reading section now?</p>
<p>This is not new @planetpeter91 </p>
<p>Here is the breakdown:</p>
<p>The Reading Test is based on four types of reading selections: social studies, natural sciences, literary narrative or prose fiction, and humanities. The Social Studies/Sciences reading skills subscore is based on the questions on the social studies and natural sciences passages, and the Arts/Literature readking skills subscore is based on the questions on the literary narrative or prose fiction passage, and the humanities passage.</p>
<p>Social Studies (25%). Questions in this category are based on passages in the content areas of anthropology, archaeology, biography, business, economics, education, geography, history, political science, psychology, and sociology.
Natural Sciences (25%). Questions in this category are based on passages in the content areas of anatomy, astronomy, biology, botany, chemistry, ecology, geology, medicine, meteorology, microbiology, natural history, physiology, physics, technology, and zoology.</p>
<p>Literary Narrative (25%) or Prose Fiction (25%). Questions in the Literary Narrative category are based on intact short stories or excerpts from short stories or novels, or passages from memoirs and personal essays. Questions in the Prose Fiction category are based on intact short stories or excerpts from short stories and novels.</p>
<p>Humanities (25%). Questions in this category are based on passages in the content areas of architecture, art, dance, ethics, film, language, literary criticism, music, philosophy, radio, television, and theater. Questions may be based on passages from memoirs and personal essays.</p>
<p>No, like there is actually graphs and stuff in the reading now? That’s what I heard. Also, there are dual passages now too, right?</p>
<p>Yes dual passages in prose fiction began in June. You may get one passage with that. </p>
<p>Science passages have no announced changes at this time. </p>
