The ACT is sort of like Battleship. You gots to have strategy!
It's on like Donkey Kong!

According to Student 1, how much did the total volume of gas in the apparatus decrease?
Page 46
20%

What should you always do first when attacking the Science section?
Look at the questions!
100
Which of the students, if any, would be likely to agree that at the end of the demonstration, the gas remaining in the apparatus was at least 20% N2 by volume?
page 46
Students 2 and 3 only.

What happened to the flowers after their anthers were removed?
Page 40
The flowers were covered by nylon bags to prevent the normal pollinators from pollinating the flowers.

What is on the X-axis of Figure 2?

According to Student 3:
What other student is correct?
Student 2
200
Should you draw from prior knowledge when completing the ACT Science?
NO! Only pull from what is given!

One of the reasons that the lid on each tank was kept closed for the 3-month period was to:
Page 42
Minimize the amount of emitted gas that exited the tank.
300
What was the 'procedure' in the study on page 42?
Different amounts of water were added to the 3 tanks containing bog soil sections to produce a water table 1cm above the surface of the first soil section, a WT 10cm below the surface of the second soil section, and a WT 20cm below the surface of the third section.

What are the Figure 1 graphs showing?

Bog Soil
300
According to Student 4:
What reacted with Fe in the steel wool?
CO2
300
Do you need to read the 'passage' section of a question?
Sometimes, but usually 'no'. Only read it when a question seems to be asking about something that was not explicitly mentioned in the charts/actual study.
300
Which of the students would likely agree that, by volume, air contains more O2 than N2?
pg 46
Students 1,2, and 4 only.
400
What makes study 3 (page 44) different from all of the others?
It has W=61 and a different D.
400
What was the total mass of the seeds produced by the Group 3 flowers?
Page 40
Cannot be determined from the given information because the graphs only give an average of seed mass.
400
According to Student 1:
What did N2 create?
Solid iron nitride.
400
What is the order in which you are supposed to complete the Scientist 1 and 2 section?
See if she knows...
400
The study was conducted at an outdoor site near the wetlands to ensure that the tanks would be nearly identical to the wetlands with respect to which of the following conditions?
Page 42
Hours of daylight.
500
What is being tested in the study?
Page 40
Percent of flowers that produced fruit and the average mass per seed.
500
Based on Tables 1 and 2, atomic nuclei are made up of which types of quirks?
page 48
U and D only.
Because the proton and neutron only have U and D.
500
Why isn't student 2 entirely correct?
Because (according to student 3):
-The Fe in the steel wool reacted with all of the O2 in the air
-Air contains about 20% O2 by volume.
500
How long do you have to complete the science passages?
6 questions=5mins
5 questions=4.5mins
500
For any group, the value shown in Figure 1 was most likely calculated using which of the following expressions?
number of flowers producing fruit/total number of flowers multiplied by 100.
