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: $100→then$120→then$96
Turn each change into a multiplier.
Up 20% means × 1.20. Down 20% means × 0.80.
Apply them in order.
1.20 × 0.80 = 0.96
Read the answer.
The final price is 96% of the original. That’s B.
Why not 100%?
The 20% cut is taken from the higher price, so it removes more than the 20% increase added.

Cross-Text Connections · Lesson 1
Pin down each claim, then name the relationship
A Cross-Text Connections question gives you two short texts on the same topic. Each text makes a claim, and the question asks how the claims connect.
Step 1: pin down each claim. Before you look at the choices, say each text in one short sentence of your own, with who says it: Text 1: Lee says handwritten notes help students remember. Text 2: Ito says they help only when students review them. Keep a text's finding (what was observed or measured) apart from its conclusion (what the author says the finding means).
Step 2: find where the texts touch. Ask which part of Text 1 Text 2 is talking about: the finding, the conclusion, the method used to get the finding, or how far the conclusion reaches.
Step 3: name the relationship in your own words, then find the choice that matches it. The table below lists the main relationships. A text can do more than one of these at once, so match the choice to what Text 2 actually says, not to a label.
| Relationship | What Text 2 does | Question to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Supports | adds evidence for Text 1's claim | Does Text 2 make Text 1 more likely to be right? |
| Challenges | gives a reason to think Text 1's claim is wrong | Would Text 2's author say Text 1 is mistaken? |
| Qualifies | accepts the claim but limits where, when or for whom it holds | Does Text 2 say yes, but only in some cases? |
| Extends | applies the claim to a new case or takes it a step further | Does Text 2 carry the claim somewhere new? |
| Offers another explanation | accepts the finding but explains it differently | Do the texts agree on what happened but not on why? |
| Points out a limitation | questions the method, the sample or the measure behind Text 1's claim | Does Text 2 question how Text 1 got its result? |
Worked example Easy
Text 1
Ornithologist Maren Holt recorded great tits singing in twelve European cities and in forests nearby. City birds sang noticeably higher-pitched songs than forest birds. Holt argues that the low rumble of traffic drowns out deep notes, so city birds that sing higher are easier for mates and rivals to hear.
Text 2
Biologist Tomasz Wren followed individual great tits in one city park. On weekday mornings, when traffic was heavy, the birds raised the pitch of their songs; on quiet Sunday mornings, the same birds sang lower again. Wren concludes that the birds adjust their songs to the level of background noise around them.
Which choice best describes how Text 2 relates to Text 1?
- Text 2 questions whether the city birds described in Text 1 really sing at a higher pitch.
- Text 2 presents evidence that supports the explanation offered in Text 1.Answer
- Text 2 argues that a factor other than traffic noise explains the pattern in Text 1.
- Text 2 describes a bird species that, unlike the one in Text 1, does not change its song.
How to solve it
- Pin down Text 1. Finding: city great tits sing higher than forest great tits. Conclusion: Holt says traffic noise is the reason, because higher songs are easier to hear over the low rumble of traffic.
- Pin down Text 2. Wren watched the same birds sing higher on noisy weekday mornings and lower on quiet Sundays, and he concludes that they adjust to background noise.
- Where do the texts touch? Both are about why the songs are higher. Wren's result is what you would expect if Holt is right, so Text 2 supports Text 1's explanation.
- Check the rest: Text 2 never doubts the finding, names no other cause and studies the same species.
Why each choice is right or wrong
- A. Incorrect. Text 2 doesn't doubt Holt's finding. Wren's birds sang higher when traffic was heavy, which fits it.
- B. Correct. Holt says traffic noise pushes songs higher. Wren shows the same birds sing higher when traffic was heavy and lower on quiet Sunday mornings, which is evidence for Holt's explanation.
- C. Incorrect. Wren's results point to the same factor Holt names, noise. Text 2 offers no other cause.
- D. Incorrect. Text 2 studies great tits, the same species as Text 1, and its birds do change their songs.
Worked example Medium
Text 1
At the inland village site of Torra, occupied about 3,500 years ago, archaeologist Selin Aksoy found hundreds of shells from a species of spiral-shelled snail. Today that snail lives only along the coast, about 200 kilometers away. Aksoy concludes that the villagers obtained the shells through trade with coastal communities.
Text 2
Geologist Pavel Dorn has studied sediment cores from the valley around Torra. The cores show that a large, salty lake covered much of the valley until about 3,000 years ago, and its layers contain thousands of shells of the same snail species. Dorn suggests that Torra's villagers could have gathered the shells from the lake's shores.
Which choice best describes how Text 2 relates to Text 1?
- Text 2 questions whether the shells described in Text 1 were actually found at Torra.
- Text 2 provides further evidence that Torra's villagers traded with coastal communities.
- Text 2 offers a possible local source for shells that Text 1 attributes to trade.Answer
- Text 2 argues that Torra was occupied much earlier than Text 1 indicates.
How to solve it
- Text 1. Finding: hundreds of snail shells at Torra, from a snail that today lives only along the coast. Conclusion: the shells came through trade.
- Text 2. The cores show the same snail lived in a lake in Torra's own valley until about 3,000 years ago, so the lake was still there when Torra was occupied, about 3,500 years ago. Dorn says the villagers could have gathered the shells there.
- Where do the texts touch? Text 2 doesn't doubt that the shells were found. It answers Aksoy's reasoning that the shells must have come from far away by offering a nearby source. That is another explanation for the same finding.
- Notice could have: Dorn offers a possibility, not a proof. The word possible in choice C matches that strength.
Why each choice is right or wrong
- A. Incorrect. Text 2 never doubts that the shells were found at Torra. It assumes they were and asks where they came from.
- B. Incorrect. Text 2 points the other way. By showing that the snail once lived near Torra, it gives a reason the shells may not have come through trade at all.
- C. Correct. Aksoy concludes that the shells came by trade, and Text 1 notes that the snail now lives only along the coast. Dorn shows it lived in a lake in Torra's own valley until about 3,000 years ago, a possible local source.
- D. Incorrect. Text 2 dates the lake, not the village. It says nothing about when Torra was occupied.
Trap Right topic, wrong relationship
Most choices mention the same subject as the texts, so a familiar topic proves nothing. The relationship word decides the answer: supports, challenges, qualifies, extends. Check that word against what Text 2 actually does.
Trap A job Text 2 never does
Some choices give Text 2 a job it doesn't do at all: explaining a method, recommending an action, or comparing species. These sound reasonable because they fit the topic. Look for the part of Text 2 that does that job. If nothing in Text 2 does it or clearly implies it, cross the choice out.

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.
