Which of the following subjects is part of the ACT Science section?

• A. Geography
• B. Chemistry
• C. Mathematics
• D. History

Answer: (B)

The ACT Science section primarily focuses on the interpretation, analysis, and evaluation of scientific information and claims across various disciplines, including biology, physics, and chemistry. Chemistry is particularly highlighted as it involves understanding scientific concepts, processes, and data interpretation relevant to chemical reactions, the periodic table, and laboratory experiments. Questions in this section may require students to analyze graphs, tables, and experimental setups related to chemical principles, making chemistry a central subject tested in this part of the ACT exam.

In contrast, geography, mathematics, and history do not fall under the scope of the ACT Science section, as they are covered in other sections of the ACT. Geography relates to physical and human landscapes, mathematics concerns numerical skills and problem-solving, and history focuses on events and their implications, none of which are specifically evaluated in the ACT Science component.
