What is the recommended approach to time management during the ACT Science section?

• A. Allocate 10 minutes for each passage
• B. Spend no more than 7 minutes per passage
• C. Allocate approximately 5 minutes per passage
• D. Read all passages before answering questions

Answer: (C)

The recommended approach to time management during the ACT Science section is to allocate approximately 5 minutes per passage. Each passage in the ACT Science section typically provides data and graphs that require interpretation, and within this timeframe, you can quickly read the passage, analyze any visual data such as charts or tables, and then move on to the questions. This strategy helps ensure that you can efficiently manage your time across all passages, allowing for a thorough understanding and leaving some time at the end of the section to revisit any questions you might find challenging.

Allocating more time than this per passage can lead to rushing through the section overall, which may prevent you from completing all questions within the allotted time. By sticking to around 5 minutes, you enhance your chances of effectively analyzing the information while still having enough time to consider all passages.
