This video introduces the ACT Science section and shows how to approach it strategically rather than as a memorization-heavy science test. You’ll learn the three passage types—Charts & Graphs, Multiple Experiments, and Conflicting Viewpoints—and why Charts & Graphs are usually the best place to start. The key mindset shift: ACT Science is mostly a reading-and-data interpretation section, with only 2–3 questions per test requiring outside science knowledge.

The lesson emphasizes how to work efficiently by using locators (figure numbers, table names, units, keywords) to find answers fast, skipping background reading unless directed, and annotating trends directly on graphs and tables so you only interpret data once. You’ll also learn to identify independent vs. dependent variables, recognize controlled variables, estimate missing data by extending trends, and understand how tables are intentionally grouped. Big takeaway: success on the ACT Science section comes from smart navigation, trend recognition, and time management—not deep science knowledge.
