Data analysis: The ACT has three data analysis passages with 5 questions each for a total of 15 questions. The data analyzed is a table, diagram, or graph followed with a minimum of text. You will be asked to analyze the data in the table, diagram, or graph. Strategy: it does not matter if you are analyzing shoes or microbes, the data is all that interests you. Typically, data is measured in a graph that includes a Y and an X axis. A diagram or table is merely a modification of that concept.

Research analysis: The ACT has three research summary passages with six questions each. In other words, this section is about one-half of the entire science section of the ACT. Research analysis questions, like data analysis questions, include tables, diagrams, and graphs. Now, however, you are asked to evaluate the veracity of the research. This research will also include the purpose of the study, the design of the experiment, and the results itself.

Experimental design: In an experimental design question all factors remain constant — except one — and you will need to determine the outcome. For instance, if you have a block of ice in an ice chest, and the outside temperature rises 50 percent, you will need to predict the result. Everything else is the same — the ice is the same and the ice chest is the same — but the outside temperature rises. Be sure and predict changes that are unequivocally related to the rise in temperature. For instance, if you said that the water was “salty,” that change would not be related to the temperature rise.
