What Science is on the ACT

Test Preparation ACT Preparation
1

<p>Is it just one subject, or is it a mixture of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics?</p>

2

<p>It’s a mix.</p>

3

<p>Of everything science-related?</p>

4

<p>I believe so.</p>

5

<p>So the best time to take it would be after I’ve take bio, chem, physics, anatomy, and/or ap environ?</p>

<p>You technically don’t need any backround knowledge for the science portion, but it helps.</p>

<p>Background knowledge can hurt you and help you. On the practice ACT I took, background knowledge from chemistry class made 1 passage very easy (since I had performed the experiment in the class) while knowledge from physics made me overthink one question and miss it. While I’ve only taken 1 practice ACT, I think that thinking simply helps eliminate incorrect answers.</p>

<p>And OP, the science section seems like an amalgam (LOL, SAT word) of everything; just read the text and hope you understand what’s going on.</p>

This is incorrect; in fact, this thread gives you an idea of what kind of background knowledge has been required in the past: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/act-preparation/958128-act-science-compilation-background-knowledge.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/act-preparation/958128-act-science-compilation-background-knowledge.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
