98 questions across four modules, in the digital SAT’s order and on its timing, with a highlighter, a question map and a timer you can see.

A Peakscor full-length test in progress: Reading and Writing, Test A, Module 1 of 4, question 7 of 27, with the passage, four answer choices, a highlighter, a 24:18 timer and Flag, Back and Next buttons.

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.

Inference and margin of error · Lesson 4

Which population a conclusion applies to

A random sample speaks for the population it was randomly chosen from, and only that population. If a sample is chosen at random from the 9th graders at one school, the results describe the 9th graders at that school. They don't describe all students at the school, 9th graders at other schools, or teenagers in general.

Ask two questions. Where was the sample chosen from? That list or group is the population. Was the choice random? If people chose themselves, such as by answering an online poll or calling a radio show, or if the researcher picked whoever was convenient, the results may not represent even that group.

The SAT also tests the opposite mistake. A random sample's results do apply beyond the people actually surveyed: that is the whole point of sampling. The results apply only to the people surveyed is too narrow when the sample was random.

So when a correct choice estimates a single population value from a margin of error, it names the right population, gives the range and hedges with a word such as plausible. Other correct choices may simply name the right group, compare two groups with reasonable to conclude, point out a bias, or say what the data don't show (Lesson 5). None of them claim more than the sample supports.

Worked example Easy

A city's public library randomly selected 120 people from its list of library card holders and asked how many books they had borrowed in the past month.

To which of the following groups can the results of the survey be generalized?

  1. Only the 120 people who were surveyed
  2. All card holders of the city's public libraryAnswer
  3. All residents of the city, whether or not they hold a card
  4. All people who hold a card at any library in the country

How to solve it

  1. Where was the sample chosen from? The library's list of card holders.
  2. Was it random? Yes, so the results describe that whole list, not just the 120 people and not any larger group.

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Incorrect. This is too narrow. The 120 people were chosen at random from all card holders, so the results can be used to estimate values for all card holders.
  • B. Correct. The sample was chosen at random from the library's list of card holders, so that list is the population the results describe.
  • C. Incorrect. Residents without a library card were never part of the group sampled from, and they may borrow far fewer books, so the results don't describe them.
  • D. Incorrect. Only this library's card holders were sampled. Card holders of other libraries had no chance of being chosen.

Worked example Hard

A researcher chose a random sample of 360 adults from the membership lists of a city's fitness clubs. Of the adults in the sample, 62% said they exercise at least four days a week. The margin of error is 5%.

Which of the following is the most appropriate conclusion?

  1. It is plausible that between 57% and 67% of the city's adults exercise at least four days a week.
  2. It is plausible that between 57% and 67% of the adult members of the city's fitness clubs exercise at least four days a week.Answer
  3. Exactly 62% of the adult members of the city's fitness clubs exercise at least four days a week.
  4. The results apply only to the 360 adults who were surveyed, so no estimate about anyone else is possible.

How to solve it

  1. Interval: 62−5=5762 - 5 = 57 to 62+5=6762 + 5 = 67, in percent.
  2. Population: the sample was chosen at random from the adults on the city's fitness club membership lists, so the interval describes the clubs' adult members.
  3. Of these four choices, only B has the interval, the right group (the clubs' adult members) and the word plausible.

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Incorrect. This is the tempting overreach: the numbers are right but the group is too big. The sample came from fitness club members, who likely exercise more than adults in general, so the interval can't be applied to all the city's adults.
  • B. Correct. 62%±5%62\% \pm 5\% gives 57% to 67%, the population is the group the sample was randomly chosen from, the adult members of the city's fitness clubs, and the claim says plausible.
  • C. Incorrect. 62% is the sample's estimate. With a margin of error of 5%, the true percent is plausibly anywhere from 57% to 67%, not exactly 62%.
  • D. Incorrect. This is too narrow. A random sample is chosen so its results can be generalized to the population it was drawn from, here all the adult members of the city's fitness clubs.

Trap Generalizing too far

The most tempting wrong choice often keeps the right numbers but swaps in a bigger group: all adults in the city instead of the fitness clubs' adult members, the state instead of the county. Check the group word by word.

Trap Generalizing too little

Only the people surveyed sounds careful, but it is wrong for a random sample, which is chosen precisely so its results stand for the population it came from.

Trap Volunteers and convenience samples

Online polls, call-in votes and whoever walked by are not random. A large number of responses doesn't fix that, and the margin of error doesn't account for it.

Desmos When Desmos isn’t faster

Desmos can't help here. Deciding which population a sample represents is a reading question with nothing to compute.

Spend the time on the passage instead: find where the sample was chosen from and whether it was chosen at random, then match that group to the choices.

Full-length tests

Each test mirrors the digital SAT: 98 questions across four modules, 2 hr 14 min on official timing.

A little harder than the real SAT. These tests can run slightly tougher than test day, which makes them good practice: if you can handle these, the real one should feel easier. No question appears in more than one test, Challenge Tests included.

Challenge Tests Hardest of the hardest

Same 98-question format, but every question is drawn from the toughest SAT material: Challenging-tier math throughout and the hardest reading.
