Hey guys, I'm starting to practice for the ACT, and I wanted to know—how many science passages should I expect? Just need an idea so I can plan my study schedule accordingly. Cheers!
Hello! On the ACT Science section, you'll encounter a total of 6-7 passages. Each passage will have a different format: about 3 will be Data Representation passages, about 2 will be Research Summaries passages, and about 1 will be a Conflicting Viewpoints passage. The Science section has a total of 40 questions, so you can expect around 5-7 questions per passage. You'll have 35 minutes to complete this section, so you'll want to practice managing your time effectively. Good luck with your preparation!
