What this topic is
Recognizing relationships and trends in data asks how one variable changes as another changes.
In ACT Science, a question might ask whether a quantity increases, decreases, or increases and then levels off as temperature, time or concentration rises. Describing a trend means looking across the whole data set rather than at a single point. Some relationships are direct, others inverse, and some reverse direction partway through, which answer choices are designed to test.
Tables often hide the pattern in a column of numbers, so scanning from top to bottom is useful. Choices usually state the trend in words, and every part of the wording must match the data.
Every question is picked for where you are right now, wrong answers come back until they stick, and it all works offline.
