Which of the following is NOT one of the five categories of question types mentioned in the lesson?

• Detail questions

• Pattern questions

• Inference questions

• Hypothesis questions

What is the main purpose of knowing the different question types on the ACT science test?

• To memorize all the data points

• To skip all the hard questions

• To save time and mental energy

• To impress the test makers

Detail questions primarily ask you to:

• Predict trends in data

• Locate and report specific data points

• Draw conclusions from experiments

• Compare and contrast scientific opinions

Pattern questions often require you to:

• Interpolate or extrapolate data

• Design new experiments

• Memorize scientific terms

• Compare different viewpoints

Inference questions ask you to:

• Locate specific data points

• Predict future trends

• Draw conclusions from provided data

• Identify independent variables

Scientific method questions typically involve:

• Understanding experiment design

• Reporting specific data points

• Predicting data trends

• Comparing scientific opinions

Compare and contrast questions are found in which passage type?

• Conflicting viewpoints passage

• Inference passage

• Pattern passage

• Detail passage

Which of the following is an example of a detail question?

• What would happen if the texture of the brick was changed?

• How tall would plant two be at 45 days given constant growth?

• What is the approximate growth of plant three between 60 days and 90 days?

• How would the results change if the concentration of magnesium hydroxide was decreased?

An example of a pattern question is:

• How would plant three's height change after 120 days given constant growth?

• What is the independent variable in experiment one?

• How do scientists one and two differ in their views?

• What is the highest monthly average air temperature recorded?

Which question type might ask you to consider how new information would affect an experiment?

• Pattern questions

• Detail questions

• Scientific method questions

• Inference questions
