How it works

One run a day. One skill at a time.

  1. 1

    Play the Daily.

    A quick run with three hearts. String right answers together and the questions get harder and the points multiply.

  2. 2

    Miss one, learn why.

    Every question is tagged by domain and skill, and every answer comes with an explanation.

  3. 3

    Drill that skill.

    Practice any single skill at any difficulty, or just the questions you got wrong.

  4. 4

    Beat your best.

    Come back tomorrow and climb. Progress shows your accuracy and your strongest skills.

Built around the real 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 digital SAT’s order: 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 use the hardest material throughout.

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.

Linear equations in one variable · Lesson 2

Writing an equation from words

Word problems turn a situation into an equation. The SAT either asks which equation represents the situation or asks you to solve it and give a number.

Start by naming the unknown. The question usually does it for you: *mm months of membership, hh hours of work*.

Then sort every number in the story into one of two roles. A rate comes with each unit of the unknown: 25 dollars per month, 12 liters each minute. It multiplies the variable. A fixed amount happens once: a sign-up fee, a starting balance, a delivery charge. It stands alone.

The most common pattern is total = fixed amount + rate × quantity, such as 40+25m=24040 + 25m = 240. If something goes down, such as water draining or money being spent, the rate is subtracted: 500−12t=164500 - 12t = 164. For distance, distance = rate × time, with the time in the same units as the rate. Read order words carefully too: 5 less than 3 times a number is 3n−53n - 5, not 5−3n5 - 3n.

To test a choice quickly, substitute an easy value such as m=2m = 2 into its left side and ask whether you get what the story says two months should cost (in the gym example below, 40 + 2 × 25 = 90 dollars). Avoid m=1m = 1: an equation that charges the fee every month, such as 65m65m, gives the same result as the correct one when m=1m = 1. Only the correct equation matches the story for every value.

Worked example Easy

A gym charges a one-time sign-up fee of 40 dollars plus 25 dollars for each month of membership. Mariana paid a total of 240 dollars for the sign-up fee and mm months of membership.

Which equation represents this situation?

  1. 25m+40=24025m + 40 = 240Answer
  2. 40m+25=24040m + 25 = 240
  3. 65m=24065m = 240
  4. 25m=240+4025m = 240 + 40

How to solve it

  1. The rate is 25 dollars per month, so mm months cost 25m25m dollars.
  2. The 40 dollar fee is paid once, so it is added once.
  3. Everything Mariana paid adds up to 240 dollars: 25m+40=24025m + 40 = 240. (Solving gives m=8m = 8.)

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Correct. The monthly cost 25m25m plus the one-time fee of 40 dollars equals the total, 240 dollars.
  • B. Incorrect. This swaps the roles. It charges the 40 dollar fee every month and the 25 dollars only once.
  • C. Incorrect. 65m65m charges the 40 dollar sign-up fee again every month, but it is paid only once.
  • D. Incorrect. The fee is part of what Mariana paid, so it belongs on the same side as 25m25m. This equation adds the fee to the total instead.

Worked example Medium

A plumber charges a 60 dollar visit fee plus 45 dollars per hour of work. An electrician charges a 90 dollar visit fee plus 35 dollars per hour of work.

Which equation can be used to find hh, the number of hours of work for which the two total charges are equal?

  1. 45+60h=35+90h45 + 60h = 35 + 90h
  2. 60+35h=90+45h60 + 35h = 90 + 45h
  3. 60+45h=90+35h60 + 45h = 90 + 35hAnswer
  4. (60+45)h=(90+35)h(60 + 45)h = (90 + 35)h

How to solve it

  1. The plumber's total for hh hours is the fee plus the hourly rate times hh: 60+45h60 + 45h.
  2. The electrician's total is 90+35h90 + 35h.
  3. Equal charges means the two expressions are equal: 60+45h=90+35h60 + 45h = 90 + 35h. (Solving gives h=3h = 3, when both charge 195 dollars.)

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Incorrect. This swaps the fee and the rate for both workers, multiplying each visit fee by the hours.
  • B. Incorrect. This pairs each visit fee with the other worker's hourly rate.
  • C. Correct. Each side is one worker's total charge: a one-time visit fee plus the hourly rate times hh.
  • D. Incorrect. This multiplies the visit fees by the hours, but each fee is charged once. The equation simplifies to 105h=125h105h = 125h, which is true only when h=0h = 0.
