FREEE ACT Question and Answers 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the ACT Reading section's time limit and number of questions?
- 35 minutes, 40 questions across 4 passages (10 questions each) (Correct answer)
- 45 minutes, 52 questions across 5 passages
- 30 minutes, 36 questions across 3 passages
- 40 minutes, 40 questions across 5 passages
Correct answer: 35 minutes, 40 questions across 4 passages (10 questions each)
The ACT Reading section has 35 minutes for 40 questions organized across 4 passages (one each from Literary Narrative, Social Studies, Humanities, and Natural Science), with 10 questions per passage.
Question 2: A student scored 28 on ACT Math, 32 on Reading, 30 on English, and 26 on Science. What is the composite score?
- 29 (Correct answer)
- 28
- 30
- 116
Correct answer: 29
Composite = average of the four section scores: (28 + 32 + 30 + 26) / 4 = 116 / 4 = 29.
Question 3: On the ACT English test, the word "OMIT" in an answer choice means:
- Delete the underlined portion entirely — it should not be included (Correct answer)
- Replace the underlined portion with nothing written out
- Keep the original underlined text unchanged
- Insert a comma at the underlined position
Correct answer: Delete the underlined portion entirely — it should not be included
When "OMIT the underlined portion" (or "DELETE the underlined portion") appears as an answer choice on ACT English, it means removing the text entirely is the best revision — often used for redundancy or unnecessary information.
Question 4: Solve for x: (3/4)x + 2 = (1/2)x + 8
- x = 24 (Correct answer)
- x = 12
- x = 6
- x = 48
Correct answer: x = 24
(3/4)x − (1/2)x = 8 − 2. (3/4 − 2/4)x = 6. (1/4)x = 6. x = 24.
Question 5: In an ACT Science passage, Figure 1 shows bacterial growth (y-axis: colony count) vs. antibiotic concentration (x-axis: mg/mL). The curve drops steeply between 0.5 and 2 mg/mL, then flattens near zero. What is the approximate minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)?
- The concentration at which the curve transitions from steep decline to plateau — approximately 2 mg/mL (Correct answer)
- 0.5 mg/mL, where the decline first begins
- 0 mg/mL, the starting point
- 10 mg/mL, the maximum tested concentration
Correct answer: The concentration at which the curve transitions from steep decline to plateau — approximately 2 mg/mL
The MIC is the lowest concentration at which bacterial growth is effectively inhibited (colony count approaches zero). In the described graph, the transition from decline to near-zero plateau at 2 mg/mL marks the MIC.
Question 6: The ACT Science section does NOT require students to:
- Have memorized advanced science facts and formulas from biology, chemistry, or physics (Correct answer)
- Interpret graphs, charts, and tables
- Evaluate experimental design and scientific reasoning
- Compare competing scientific hypotheses
Correct answer: Have memorized advanced science facts and formulas from biology, chemistry, or physics
The ACT Science section tests scientific reasoning, not recalled science content. All necessary information is provided in the passages. Students analyze data, evaluate methodology, and compare viewpoints — without needing memorized facts.
