There are a number of critical concepts presents on the ACT Science test that draw on discipline-specific content knowledge (biology, chemistry, Earth/space sciences and physics) and general science skills and practices. Your paper ticket (for National and International ACT test dates). A calculator is not permitted on the ACT Science test, but you will need to bring the following items with you: To be admitted into the test location you will be asked to provide an approved form of photo identification. Be sure not to leave any smudges or it could result in an error when your test is scored. If you accidentally fill in an incorrect oval, you can completely erase it. Always check to make sure you are filling in an oval on the same line number that matches with the question number you are on. If you are using time-saving strategies, such as skipping more difficult questions until the end of the test, you will need to take extra care to ensure you are not filling in any incorrect ovals. To record your responses you will need to fill in the corresponding oval on a bubble answer sheet that will be provided to you at the beginning of the test. To allow yourself enough time to consider your choices more carefully on more complex questions, you should pace yourself throughout the duration of the test.
Since there may be multiple correct responses for each question, you will need to use critical thinking skills to determine the one best response. While you do need to have knowledge of basic scientific concepts and terminology to answer some of the questions, you do NOT need to understand advanced concepts or memorize equations.Prepare with our ACT Study Guide and Practice Questions. The ACT Science Test is a test of your scientific reasoning ability, not a test of your knowledge of scientific content.
