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.

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.

Ratios, rates, proportions and units · Lesson 4

Unit conversion, including square and cubic units

To convert units, multiply by a conversion factor: a fraction equal to 1, such as 12 inches1 foot\frac{12 \text{ inches}}{1 \text{ foot}}. Put the unit you want to get rid of on the opposite side of the factor from where it sits, so it cancels: on the bottom if it is on top, and on top if it is a per unit, such as the hours in kilometers per hour.

Chain the factors for a multi-step conversion. To write 90 kilometers per hour in meters per second, convert kilometers to meters and hours to seconds: 90×1,000÷3,600=2590 \times 1{,}000 \div 3{,}600 = 25 meters per second. Every step multiplies or divides. You never add conversion factors. (Temperature scales such as Celsius and Fahrenheit are the exception: they also add or subtract a fixed amount, and the question gives you the formula.)

Square and cubic units. 1 yard is 3 feet, so a square yard is a square 3 feet on each side: 11 square yard =3×3=9= 3 \times 3 = 9 square feet. A cubic yard is a cube 3 feet on each side: 3×3×3=273 \times 3 \times 3 = 27 cubic feet. Use the length factor once for each dimension: squared for area, cubed for volume.

Sense-check the size. Converting to a smaller unit gives a bigger number (3 yards is 9 feet), and converting to a bigger unit gives a smaller number. If a question needs a less common conversion, such as miles to kilometers, look for the factor in the question.

Length factors and the area and volume factors they give
LengthAreaVolume
1 foot = 12 inches1 square foot = 144 square inches1 cubic foot = 1,728 cubic inches
1 yard = 3 feet1 square yard = 9 square feet1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet
1 meter = 100 centimeters1 square meter = 10,000 square centimeters1 cubic meter = 1,000,000 cubic centimeters

Worked example Easy

A garden hose delivers water at a constant rate of 6 gallons per minute.

At this rate, how many gallons of water does the hose deliver in 1.5 hours?

  1. 99
  2. 540540Answer
  3. 660660
  4. 32,40032{,}400

How to solve it

  1. The rate is per minute, so convert the time to minutes: 1.5×60=901.5 \times 60 = 90 minutes.
  2. Amount = rate × time: 6×90=5406 \times 90 = 540 gallons.

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Incorrect. This multiplies the per-minute rate by 1.5 without converting hours to minutes, 6×1.5=96 \times 1.5 = 9. The units don't match: 6 gallons per minute times 1.5 hours.
  • B. Correct. 1.5 hours is 90 minutes, and 6×90=5406 \times 90 = 540 gallons.
  • C. Incorrect. 660 comes from reading 1.5 hours as 1 hour 50 minutes, which is 110 minutes, and 6×110=6606 \times 110 = 660. The .5 means half an hour, 30 minutes, so 1.5 hours is 90 minutes.
  • D. Incorrect. This converts 1.5 hours to seconds, 1.5×3,600=5,4001.5 \times 3{,}600 = 5{,}400, and multiplies by 6 to get 32,400. The rate is per minute, not per second.

Worked example Medium

A rectangular patio is 15 feet long and 24 feet wide. (1 yard = 3 feet)

What is the area of the patio, in square yards?

  1. 4040Answer
  2. 120120
  3. 1,0801{,}080
  4. 3,2403{,}240

How to solve it

  1. Convert each length to yards: 15÷3=515 \div 3 = 5 yards and 24÷3=824 \div 3 = 8 yards.
  2. Area: 5×8=405 \times 8 = 40 square yards.
  3. Check: the area is 15×24=36015 \times 24 = 360 square feet, and 1 square yard is 9 square feet, so 360÷9=40360 \div 9 = 40.

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Correct. The patio is 5 yards by 8 yards, so its area is 40 square yards. Equivalently, 360÷9=40360 \div 9 = 40.
  • B. Incorrect. This divides 360 square feet by 3, the length factor, giving 120. A square yard is 3 feet by 3 feet, which is 9 square feet, so divide by 9.
  • C. Incorrect. This multiplies 360 square feet by 3, giving 1,080. Square yards are bigger than square feet, so the number of square yards must be smaller than 360, and the factor is 9, not 3.
  • D. Incorrect. This multiplies 360 by 9 instead of dividing, giving 3,240. Converting to a bigger unit gives a smaller number.

Trap Using the length factor for square or cubic units

1 foot is 12 inches, but 1 square foot is 12×12=14412 \times 12 = 144 square inches and 1 cubic foot is 12×12×12=1,72812 \times 12 \times 12 = 1{,}728 cubic inches. Dividing square inches by 12 instead of 144 is a slip that distractors are built from. Converting each length before you multiply avoids it.

Trap Adding factors in a chain

An hour has 60 minutes and each minute has 60 seconds, so an hour has 60×60=3,60060 \times 60 = 3{,}600 seconds, not 60+60=12060 + 60 = 120. When you convert in steps, multiply the factors. Five hours is 5×3,600=18,0005 \times 3{,}600 = 18{,}000 seconds.

Trap Multiplying when you should divide

Write each factor as a fraction with units and check that the unit you're leaving cancels. If you're unsure, use size: a bigger unit means a smaller number.

Desmos When Desmos is faster

Type the whole chain of factors on one expression line and Desmos shows the result. For the hose, 6601.5 gives 540. For the patio, 15*24/9 gives 40.

One line keeps every factor visible, so a missing 60 or a 3 that should be a 9 is easy to spot. Desmos doesn't track units, though: decide whether each factor multiplies or divides before you type it.
