The bank includes 20 questions on evaluation of models: 4 easy, 8 medium, 8 hard.

Why this question type matters on the PreACT 9

The PreACT 9 Science section rewards pattern recognition over memorization. Evaluation of Models questions show up throughout the section, so steady practice on this skill — and reviewing why each wrong choice is wrong — moves your score more than cramming facts.

Topics are aligned to 8th-grade Common Core standards. The actual CPS HSAT covers slightly more than these buckets but the core mix is the same.
