Full-length tests

The real test, rehearsed.

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.

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.

Ratios, rates, proportions and units · Lesson 3

Proportions and scale drawings

A proportion says two ratios are equal. If 5 notebooks cost 12 dollars, 8 notebooks at the same price cost xx dollars, where 512=8x\frac{5}{12} = \frac{8}{x}. Both fractions are notebooks over dollars.

Set up with matching units. One safe setup: make each fraction one purchase, notebooks over dollars: 512\frac{5}{12} for the first and 8x\frac{8}{x} for the second, so 512=8x\frac{5}{12} = \frac{8}{x}. Then cross-multiply: 5x=12⋅8=965x = 12 \cdot 8 = 96, so x=19.2x = 19.2, which is 19.20 dollars. Comparing like with like also works, 58=12x\frac{5}{8} = \frac{12}{x}, as long as both sides pair the quantities the same way.

Sense-check the answer. More notebooks should cost more, and 19.20 is more than 12. If your answer goes the wrong way, one side of the proportion is probably upside down.

Two quantities are proportional when one is always the same multiple of the other: y=kxy = kx, where kk is the constant of proportionality. In a table, yx\frac{y}{x} gives the same number on every row.

Scale. A map scale such as 1 centimeter : 5 kilometers is a ratio, and every length on the map is multiplied by the same factor to get the real length. Areas work differently. A 1 centimeter by 1 centimeter square on this map stands for a 5 kilometer by 5 kilometer square, which is 25 square kilometers. Areas scale by the square of the length factor.

Worked example Easy

On a map, 1.5 centimeters represents an actual distance of 12 kilometers. Two towns are 7 centimeters apart on the map.

What is the actual distance, in kilometers, between the two towns?

  1. 0.8750.875
  2. 17.517.5
  3. 5656Answer
  4. 8484

How to solve it

  1. Set up the proportion with map centimeters on top and kilometers on the bottom: 1.512=7d\frac{1.5}{12} = \frac{7}{d}.
  2. Cross-multiply: 1.5d=841.5d = 84, so d=56d = 56.
  3. Another way: each map centimeter stands for 12÷1.5=812 \div 1.5 = 8 kilometers, and 7×8=567 \times 8 = 56.

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Incorrect. This puts one side of the proportion upside down, 1.512=d7\frac{1.5}{12} = \frac{d}{7}, which gives d=1.5×712=0.875d = \frac{1.5 \times 7}{12} = 0.875. A longer map distance must mean a longer real distance than 12 kilometers.
  • B. Incorrect. This adds instead of scaling. The map distance grew by 7−1.5=5.57 - 1.5 = 5.5 centimeters, and adding 5.5 to 12 gives 17.5. Each map centimeter is 8 kilometers, so the distances must be multiplied.
  • C. Correct. One map centimeter represents 12÷1.5=812 \div 1.5 = 8 kilometers, so 7 centimeters represent 7×8=567 \times 8 = 56 kilometers.
  • D. Incorrect. This multiplies 7 by 12 to get 84, as if 1 centimeter (not 1.5) represented 12 kilometers.

Worked example Medium

A floor plan is drawn so that 1 inch on the plan represents 4 feet. A rectangular room is 3.5 inches long and 2.5 inches wide on the plan.

What is the area, in square feet, of the actual room?

  1. 8.758.75
  2. 3535
  3. 4848
  4. 140140Answer

How to solve it

  1. Convert each length first: 3.5×4=143.5 \times 4 = 14 feet and 2.5×4=102.5 \times 4 = 10 feet.
  2. Area of the actual room: 14×10=14014 \times 10 = 140 square feet.
  3. Check with the area factor: the plan's area is 3.5×2.5=8.753.5 \times 2.5 = 8.75 square inches, and each square inch stands for 4×4=164 \times 4 = 16 square feet. 8.75×16=1408.75 \times 16 = 140.

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Incorrect. 8.75 is the area on the plan, 3.5×2.53.5 \times 2.5, in square inches. It still has to be scaled to the actual room.
  • B. Incorrect. This multiplies the plan's area, 8.75, by the length factor 4, giving 35. Each square inch on the plan stands for a 4 foot by 4 foot square, so multiply the area by 16.
  • C. Incorrect. 48 feet is the perimeter of the actual room, 2(14+10)2(14 + 10). The question asks for the area.
  • D. Correct. The room is 3.5×4=143.5 \times 4 = 14 feet by 2.5×4=102.5 \times 4 = 10 feet, so its area is 14×10=14014 \times 10 = 140 square feet.

Trap One side of the proportion upside down

If one side is notebooks over dollars and the other is dollars over notebooks, the equation still solves, but to the wrong number. Label each side with its units before you cross-multiply, and sense-check the answer's size.

Trap Adding instead of scaling

Proportional quantities scale together: if one triples, the other triples. An increase in one quantity does not carry over as the same number added to the other. If a map distance goes from 2 centimeters to 6 centimeters, the real distance triples, whatever the scale. Adding the 4-centimeter increase to the real distance, as if it were 4 kilometers, ignores the scale.

Trap Scaling an area by the length factor

When each length is multiplied by kk, an area is multiplied by k2k^2 and a volume by k3k^3. Multiplying an area by kk alone gives a choice the SAT can include as a distractor. The safest route is to scale each length first, then compute the area.

Desmos When Desmos isn’t faster

Cross-multiplying is two quick steps, so solving by hand is usually fastest. For awkward numbers, use Desmos as a calculator: type 7*12/1.5 on an expression line and it shows 56.

For a table of values, Desmos can find a constant of proportionality. Add a table, enter the values in the x1x_1 and y1y_1 columns, and type y1∼kx1y_1 \sim kx_1 on a new line. Desmos reports the value of kk that fits best. It reports a kk even when the table isn't proportional, so still check that yx\frac{y}{x} is the same on every row.
