Built on the digital SAT blueprint.

Every question is tagged by section, domain, skill and difficulty, so you can practice exactly what you need. Full tests run like test day: two Reading & Writing modules, a break, then two Math modules.

Explanations

Every answer, explained.

Not just the right letter: how to get there, and why the tempting answer is wrong.

MathProblem-Solving and Data AnalysisHard

A store raises the price of a jacket by 20%. Later, it lowers the new price by 20%. The final price is what percent of the original price?

A80%
B96%Correct
C100%The trap
D104%

Check with $100: $100then$120then$96

  1. Turn each change into a multiplier.

    Up 20% means × 1.20. Down 20% means × 0.80.

  2. Apply them in order.

    1.20 × 0.80 = 0.96

  3. Read the answer.

    The final price is 96% of the original. That’s B.

  4. Why not 100%?

    The 20% cut is taken from the higher price, so it removes more than the 20% increase added.

98 questions across four modules, in the same order as the digital SAT: Reading & Writing Module 1 and Module 2 (27 questions each), a 10-minute break, then Math Module 1 and Module 2 (22 questions each). On official timing that’s 2 hr 14 min of testing. You get estimated section scores and a total at the end.

Yes. In the standard full-length tests, Module 2 of each section is the harder version if you get 60% or more of Module 1 right, and the easier version if you don’t. Challenge tests are built from harder material in every module.

Official timing, extended 1.5× time, or untimed, on every test, including the free ones. Extended time allows 48 minutes for each Reading & Writing module and about 52 for each Math module. Untimed removes the clock so you can focus on accuracy.

A quick run with three hearts. Each right answer builds your streak: the questions get harder as it grows, and your points multiply (×2 from three in a row, ×3 from six). A miss costs a heart and drops you back to easy. Best is your longest streak.

Conflicting Viewpoints · Lesson 2

Find where the views agree and differ

Many Conflicting Viewpoints questions ask you to compare: "Both scientists would agree that...", "Students 1 and 3 differ about...", "Which view, if any, includes...". These are easy to rush and easy to miss.

For an agree question, a choice is right only if every named view says it or clearly implies it. Test each choice view by view. One view that is silent or opposed knocks the choice out, no matter how true it is of the other.

For a differ question, look for the one point where the views give different answers. Points both views accept (often the facts in the introduction, or a trend in the data) are not where they differ.

Data that every view can explain do not settle the argument. If both students account for a trend in a table, the table supports both; it decides nothing between them.

How to test a comparison choice
Question asksEach choice must beKnock it out if
Both/all agreeStated or clearly implied in every named viewAny named view is silent or says the opposite
They differ aboutA point the views answer differentlyBoth views give the same answer, or neither addresses it
Which data fitConsistent with what each view predictsIt contradicts a view's own stated prediction

Worked example Easy

In a class demonstration, a lit candle was placed on a table and covered with an upside-down glass jar. The flame shrank and went out after a short time. The class repeated the demonstration with jars of different volumes, using an identical new candle each time (Table 1). Two students proposed explanations.

Table 1

Jar volume (mL)Time until the flame went out (s)
2506
50012
1,00023
2,00047

Student 1

The flame needs oxygen from the air to keep burning. Inside the covered jar, the candle uses up oxygen and no fresh air can enter, so the amount of oxygen around the flame steadily decreases. When the oxygen in the jar falls below a certain level, the flame can no longer be supported and goes out. A larger jar starts with more oxygen, so the candle burns longer. The carbon dioxide the flame produces does not itself put the flame out.

Student 2

The flame goes out because of the carbon dioxide it produces, not because the oxygen runs out. Burning releases warm carbon dioxide, which collects inside the jar and builds up around the flame. When the carbon dioxide around the flame reaches a certain amount, it smothers the flame even though plenty of oxygen is still present. A larger jar takes longer to fill with that much carbon dioxide, so the candle burns longer.

Based on the passage, Student 1 and Student 2 would both agree that:

  1. the flame goes out once the oxygen falls below a certain level.
  2. the burning candle releases carbon dioxide inside the jar.Answer
  3. carbon dioxide smothers the flame while oxygen remains.
  4. a larger jar makes the flame go out sooner than a smaller jar.

How to solve it

  1. Check each choice against Student 1, then against Student 2.
  2. A: Student 1 yes, Student 2 no. C: Student 2 yes, Student 1 no. D: both say the opposite.
  3. B: Student 1 mentions "the carbon dioxide the flame produces," and Student 2 says burning "releases warm carbon dioxide." Both views include it.

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Incorrect. Oxygen falling below a certain level is Student 1's cause only; Student 2 says the flame goes out "not because the oxygen runs out."
  • B. Correct. Student 1 refers to "The carbon dioxide the flame produces," and Student 2 says "Burning releases warm carbon dioxide, which collects inside the jar."
  • C. Incorrect. Carbon dioxide that smothers the flame is Student 2's view only; Student 1 says it "does not itself put the flame out."
  • D. Incorrect. Both students say a larger jar lets the candle burn longer, and Table 1 agrees: 6 s for the 250 mL jar and 47 s for the 2,000 mL jar.

Worked example Medium

In a class demonstration, a lit candle was placed on a table and covered with an upside-down glass jar. The flame shrank and went out after a short time. The class repeated the demonstration with jars of different volumes, using an identical new candle each time (Table 1). Two students proposed explanations.

Table 1

Jar volume (mL)Time until the flame went out (s)
2506
50012
1,00023
2,00047

Student 1

The flame needs oxygen from the air to keep burning. Inside the covered jar, the candle uses up oxygen and no fresh air can enter, so the amount of oxygen around the flame steadily decreases. When the oxygen in the jar falls below a certain level, the flame can no longer be supported and goes out. A larger jar starts with more oxygen, so the candle burns longer. The carbon dioxide the flame produces does not itself put the flame out.

Student 2

The flame goes out because of the carbon dioxide it produces, not because the oxygen runs out. Burning releases warm carbon dioxide, which collects inside the jar and builds up around the flame. When the carbon dioxide around the flame reaches a certain amount, it smothers the flame even though plenty of oxygen is still present. A larger jar takes longer to fill with that much carbon dioxide, so the candle burns longer.

The two students' explanations differ mainly about:

  1. whether the candle burns longer under a larger jar.
  2. whether the burning candle produces carbon dioxide.
  3. which change in the air of the jar puts out the flame.Answer
  4. how the volume of each jar was measured in the trials.

How to solve it

  1. Write each student's cause in a few words: Student 1, oxygen runs low. Student 2, carbon dioxide builds up.
  2. Cross out points both accept: larger jars burn longer (A) and the candle makes carbon dioxide (B).
  3. The remaining point of conflict is which change in the jar's air ends the flame, choice C.

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Incorrect. Both students say the candle burns longer under a larger jar, and Table 1 shows times rising from 6 s to 47 s as the volume grows.
  • B. Incorrect. Both students say the candle produces carbon dioxide; they differ about what that gas does, not whether it is made.
  • C. Correct. Student 1 blames the falling oxygen ("When the oxygen in the jar falls below a certain level"); Student 2 blames the buildup of carbon dioxide ("it smothers the flame even though plenty of oxygen is still present").
  • D. Incorrect. Neither student discusses how the volume was measured; the jar volumes are simply given in Table 1.

Trap Half an agreement

A choice can be a perfect quote from one view and still be wrong on an "agree" question. If the stem says both, find support in both paragraphs. A tempting wrong answer often comes from the view you read most recently.

Trap Data that fit both views

When a table shows a trend that every view explains, a choice saying the data "support only Student 1" is tempting because Student 1's reason fits. Ask: does the other view explain it too? If yes, the data do not choose between them.
