The bank includes 21 questions on evidence: 0 easy, 5 medium, 16 hard.
Why this question type matters on the PreACT 9
The PreACT 9 Reading section has 33 questions in 40 minutes. The mix is roughly even across question types, so evidence questions appear on every test. Strong students do not over-study any one type; they make sure no type is a glaring weakness.
Evidence questions give you four lines and ask which one supports a claim. The right line proves the claim with the fewest assumptions.
