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.

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 3

Test the views against new evidence

The hardest Conflicting Viewpoints questions add something new: "Suppose a study found...", "Which finding would weaken Scientist 2?", "How does this result bear on the two views?". Answer them in two moves.

First, predict for each view. Use only that view's cause, mechanism, and stated predictions. Then compare the new finding with each prediction. A finding weakens a view when it contradicts something the view says should happen. It supports a view when it matches what the view predicts. If a view says nothing on the point, the finding neither supports nor weakens it.

Read the view's exact strength of wording. "The pebbles should show no scratches" is broken by a handful of scratched pebbles. "Many of the pebbles should have scratches" is not broken just because some pebbles have none.

What a new finding does to a view
The finding...Effect on the viewExample wording
matches the view's predictionSupports it"...would most likely be cited as support by Geologist 1"
contradicts the view's predictionWeakens it"...is inconsistent with Geologist 1's claim that..."
is about something the view never addressesNeither supports nor weakens it"...does not contradict Scientist 2"

Worked example Medium

The flat top of a hill called Kestrel Ridge stands about 300 m above the nearest river. The soil on the ridge top contains many smooth, rounded pebbles of granite, but no granite bedrock is found within 40 km of the ridge. Two geologists proposed explanations for how the pebbles got there.

Geologist 1

The pebbles were carried by an ancient river that once flowed across the ridge top, before the land around the ridge was worn down to its present level. Pebbles become smooth and rounded as flowing water rolls them against one another over long distances. Because moving water sorts sediment by size, the deposit should be arranged in layers, each made mostly of pebbles of similar size. The pebbles should show no scratches, since rolling in water wears their surfaces evenly.

Geologist 2

The pebbles were carried to the ridge by a glacier that covered the region during an ice age and left them behind when it melted. Pebbles frozen into the base of the ice were dragged against bedrock and against one another, which rounded them along the way. Because ice does not sort the material it carries, the deposit should be an unlayered mix of clay, sand, pebbles, and large boulders. Many of the pebbles should have fine parallel scratches made as they were dragged across rock.

Suppose a pit dug on the ridge top shows that the pebbles lie in distinct layers, each made mostly of pebbles of similar size, with no clay or boulders mixed in. This finding would most likely be cited as support by:

  1. Geologist 2, because a glacier can carry pebbles a long way.
  2. Geologist 2, because the pebbles found in the pit are rounded.
  3. Geologist 1, because flowing water sorts sediment by size.Answer
  4. Geologist 1, because all of the pebbles are made of granite.

How to solve it

  1. Predict for each geologist. Geologist 1 (river): sorted layers of similar-size pebbles. Geologist 2 (glacier): an unlayered mix with clay and boulders.
  2. Compare: the pit shows sorted layers with no clay or boulders. That matches Geologist 1 and contradicts Geologist 2.
  3. Two choices name Geologist 1. Pick the one whose reason is the matching prediction (sorting by water), choice C, not a fact both views share (granite), choice D.

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Incorrect. Geologist 2 says a glacier "does not sort the material it carries" and predicts "an unlayered mix of clay, sand, pebbles, and large boulders." Sorted layers contradict that.
  • B. Incorrect. Both geologists explain why the pebbles are rounded, so roundness cannot favor Geologist 2, and the layers in the pit contradict Geologist 2's unlayered mix.
  • C. Correct. Geologist 1 says, "Because moving water sorts sediment by size, the deposit should be arranged in layers, each made mostly of pebbles of similar size." The pit shows exactly that.
  • D. Incorrect. This names the right geologist for the wrong reason. The pebbles being granite is a fact from the introduction that both explanations accept, so it does not favor Geologist 1.

Worked example Hard

The flat top of a hill called Kestrel Ridge stands about 300 m above the nearest river. The soil on the ridge top contains many smooth, rounded pebbles of granite, but no granite bedrock is found within 40 km of the ridge. Two geologists proposed explanations for how the pebbles got there.

Geologist 1

The pebbles were carried by an ancient river that once flowed across the ridge top, before the land around the ridge was worn down to its present level. Pebbles become smooth and rounded as flowing water rolls them against one another over long distances. Because moving water sorts sediment by size, the deposit should be arranged in layers, each made mostly of pebbles of similar size. The pebbles should show no scratches, since rolling in water wears their surfaces evenly.

Geologist 2

The pebbles were carried to the ridge by a glacier that covered the region during an ice age and left them behind when it melted. Pebbles frozen into the base of the ice were dragged against bedrock and against one another, which rounded them along the way. Because ice does not sort the material it carries, the deposit should be an unlayered mix of clay, sand, pebbles, and large boulders. Many of the pebbles should have fine parallel scratches made as they were dragged across rock.

A geologist examines 100 pebbles from the ridge top and finds that 38 have fine parallel scratches and 62 have none. How does this finding bear on the two explanations?

  1. It weakens Geologist 2's, because most of the pebbles have no scratches.
  2. It weakens Geologist 1's, which predicts no scratches, and fits Geologist 2's.Answer
  3. It supports both, because both geologists say that the pebbles are rounded.
  4. It bears on neither, since the scratches may have formed after the deposit.

How to solve it

  1. Find each view's scratch prediction and note its strength. Geologist 1: "no scratches." Geologist 2: "Many of the pebbles should have... scratches."
  2. Compare: 38 scratched pebbles break Geologist 1's "no." They count as "many" for Geologist 2, and Geologist 2 never says all pebbles are scratched.
  3. So the finding weakens Geologist 1 and fits Geologist 2, choice B. Choice A is the trap: it treats "many" as if it meant "most" or "all."

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Incorrect. Geologist 2 predicts that many pebbles should be scratched, not all of them. 38 of 100 is many, so the 62 unscratched pebbles do not contradict Geologist 2.
  • B. Correct. Geologist 1 says, "The pebbles should show no scratches," and 38 of 100 are scratched. Geologist 2 says, "Many of the pebbles should have fine parallel scratches," which 38 scratched pebbles fit.
  • C. Incorrect. The finding is about scratches, not about whether the pebbles are rounded. On scratches the geologists disagree, so the finding cannot support both.
  • D. Incorrect. Neither geologist says scratches could form after the deposit; this answer brings in an outside idea instead of comparing the finding with each view.

Trap Right view, wrong reason

Two choices often name the same view with different reasons, as in "Geologist 1, because flowing water sorts sediment" and "Geologist 1, because the pebbles are granite." Only one reason is the actual link between the finding and the view's prediction. A fact every view accepts is never that link.

Trap Silence is not a contradiction

A finding weakens a view only if the view says something it contradicts. If a scientist never mentions what the ring is made of, a composition measurement cannot weaken that scientist, however surprising it seems. Don't fill in what you think a view "would probably" claim.
