The Conflicting Viewpoints passage is unlike anything else on the ACT Science section — and for many students, it’s the most intimidating. Rather than analyzing data, graphs, or experiments, students must read two or more competing scientific theories and answer questions about what each viewpoint claims and how they differ.

The good news? Once your student understands how this passage works, it becomes one of the most manageable sections on the test — if they have the right strategy going in.

In this video, Prepped and Polished’s own Jane Avery walks through her step-by-step approach to Conflicting Viewpoints, including how to read efficiently, how to identify the core differences between viewpoints, and how to answer each question type accurately under timed conditions
