Let's walk through a science passage from the first college board practice test! Here's a link to the full test if you want to attempt it first: https://collegereadiness.collegeboard...

These explanations should help if this is your first time seeing the passage or if you've already taken it and want to review your answers. I try to share some of the methods I use to answer each of the questions and all of the advice I have to help you get a perfect score, too. :)

The science passages can be difficult because they contain a lot of vocabulary and concepts that you might not be familiar with, but remember that the evidence needed to answer any question is always contained in the passage! These passages also may contain a graph or a table like this one does.
