Sample original practice
A table shows that as water temperature rises from 10°C to 30°C, the amount of dissolved oxygen falls from 11 mg/L to 7 mg/L. Describe the relationship and predict the dissolved oxygen at 20°C.
As one variable rises, does the other rise or fall?

Explanation, examples and mistakes are visible before full practice
These previews come from the first-party course map and approved question registry. Fully covered means the public route has topic depth, skills, objectives, worked examples and mistake repair attached before students enter full practice.
Command of evidence
What to know
- Evidence questions depend on the passage, not outside knowledge
- Grammar questions reward precise, concise choices
Common mistake
Choosing an answer that sounds right but is unsupported
Worked example
A Information and ideas question gives data and asks for an explanation. What should the answer do?
- 1. State the relevant concept or model.
- 2. Use the data or scenario as evidence.
- 3. Explain how the evidence supports the conclusion.
Information and ideas exam practice
What to know
- Information and ideas exam practice should connect the scientific idea to evidence, data or a model.
- A full answer names the mechanism, then links it to the observation or calculation.
Common mistake
Naming a key word without explaining the mechanism behind it.
Worked example
A Information and ideas question gives data and asks for an explanation. What should the answer do?
- 1. State the relevant concept or model.
- 2. Use the data or scenario as evidence.
- 3. Explain how the evidence supports the conclusion.
Tables, graphs and trends
What to know
- Tables, graphs and trends should connect the scientific idea to evidence, data or a model.
- A full answer names the mechanism, then links it to the observation or calculation.
Common mistake

Worked example
A Data representation question gives data and asks for an explanation. What should the answer do?
- 1. State the relevant concept or model.
- 2. Use the data or scenario as evidence.
- 3. Explain how the evidence supports the conclusion.
Three quick checks
1. What skill does the approved sample question test?
act
ACT Science rewards reading trends from a data table. As temperature increases from 10 to 30°C, dissolved oxygen decreases from 11 to 7 mg/L — a negative/inverse relationship. To predict the value at 20°C, interpolate: 20°C is halfway between 10 and 30, so the oxygen is about halfway between 11 and 7, ≈ 9 mg/L. State the direction of the relationship and use interpolation for the midpoint estimate.
2. What mistake should you watch for in Command of evidence?
Choosing an answer that sounds right but is unsupported
StudyVector stores common mistake patterns so the next attempt can repair the specific error rather than restart the whole course.
3. What should happen after a missed point?
Review the explanation, name the mistake, then answer a similar question while the correction is fresh.
The page feeds the same loop as practice: attempt, feedback, repair, and return.
