Introduction:
Congratulations! You’ve taken a big step toward ACT success by purchasing McGraw Hill 500 ACT Science Questions to know by test day. This book and the others in this series were written by expert teachers who know the ACT inside and out, and working on these questions will expose you to many kinds of questions that are likely to appear on the exam. We are here to help you take the next step and score high on your ACT exam so you can get into the college or university of your choice.
This book provides 500 ACT-style, multiple-choice questions that cover a wide variety of science topics. Each question is clearly explained in the answer key. The questions will give you valuable independent practice to supplement the material you have already covered in your science classes. You may be the kind of student who needs extra study a few weeks before the exam for a final review, or you may be the kind of student who puts off preparing until the last minute. No matter what your preparation style, you will benefit from reviewing these 500 questions, which closely parallel the content and degree of difficulty of the science questions on the actual ACT. These questions and the explanations in the answer key are the ideal last-minute study tool for those final weeks before the test.
As you go through each chapter, you’ll want to practice your pacing as you read the passages and answer the questions because time is a critical factor during the ACT test. After reading or skimming the passage, a good rule of thumb is to allow yourself 30 seconds per question. Determine what pace enables you to be most successful in answering the questions. Chapter 12 provides a complete 35-minute practice test with seven passages containing 40 questions that mirror the format of the ACT test.
If you practice with all the questions and answers in this book, we are certain you will build the skills and confidence you will need to excel on the ACT.
Good luck!
