Only the ACT has a Science Section ?

Question

this question is a true or false question concerning SAT/ACT 

Answer 1

While it is true that the SAT does not have a dedicated science section, there is a cross-test score called "Analysis in Science." This is one of two cross-test scores and seven skill subscores that launched with the SAT’s redesign of 2016.

The cross-test score for science is computed from select, science-oriented questions within the reading, writing, and math sections. There is also a cross-test score for history/social studies. The range for cross-test scores is 10-40.

The seven skill subscores don't mix the math and English the sections the way the cross-test scores do, but instead are derived from either the math or English sections.

The math sections give rise to three skill subscores:

1. Heart of Algebra
2. Problem Solving and Data Analysis
3. Passport to Advanced Math

The reading and writing sections together yield two skill subscores:

1. Words in Context
2. Command of Evidence

The writing section itself generates two more skill subscores:

1. Expression of Ideas
2. Standard English Conventions

The range for skill subscores is 1-15.

Answer 2

True.

 

If you decide to take the SAT II tests, they are subject-based, so you could choose science tests.

 

But for the regular SAT it's reading comprehension, language and writing (findingv/fixing mistakes in written passages), an optional essay, and math.
