Conflicting Viewpoints is the most distinctive and often most difficult passage type on the ACT Science, presenting two or more scientists with opposing interpretations of the same phenomenon. Unlike other ACT Science passages, this one is primarily a reading comprehension exercise—you must understand each position and evaluate the evidence each scientist cites. Practice with these tests to build the careful reading and comparison skills that Conflicting Viewpoints requires.
