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 4
Reverse direction and common ground
Some questions reverse the usual order and ask how the author of Text 1 would respond to Text 2. Text 1 usually wasn't written as a reply, so look in it for something that bears on Text 2's point: a detail of how its study was done, a comparison it made, or a general principle it states.
Wrong-direction choices are a common trap. A choice that restates Text 2's own point is usually what Text 2 says, not how Text 1 would answer it, unless Text 1 shows that its author agrees. Before you choose, ask whose words the choice is built from.
Other questions ask what both authors would most likely agree with. The right answer must be supported by Text 1 and by Text 2. Sort each choice: Text 1 only, Text 2 only, neither, or both. The shared ground is often a basic fact both texts accept, such as what was found or who did something, while the authors' conclusions differ.
Worked example Medium
Text 1
Food scientist Ruth Okafor served the same tomato soup to 120 diners in bowls that looked identical but differed in weight: some had a heavy base hidden in the bottom. Diners who ate from the heavy bowls rated the soup as richer and tastier. Okafor argues that the weight of a dish shapes how its food is perceived.
Text 2
Psychologist Leon Garner argues that heavy tableware improves ratings of food mainly because of how it looks. Heavy bowls and plates are usually thicker and more ornate than light ones, he notes, so diners see them as expensive and expect the food served in them to be better.
Based on the texts, how would Okafor (Text 1) most likely respond to Garner's explanation in Text 2?
- By noting that her heavy and light bowls looked alike, so looks couldn't explain her result.Answer
- By pointing out that heavy bowls are usually thicker and more ornate than light ones.
- By agreeing that diners rated the soup higher because they expected it to be expensive.
- By questioning whether diners in her study could feel the difference in the bowls' weight.
How to solve it
- Read the direction: Okafor (Text 1) responds to Garner (Text 2). So the answer comes from Okafor's text.
- Garner's claim: heavy bowls look thicker and more ornate, so diners expect better food. His explanation depends on how the bowls look.
- Look in Text 1 for something that bears on that. Okafor's bowls looked identical; the extra weight was a base hidden in the bottom. So appearance can't be what made her diners rate the soup higher.
- Choice B is the direction trap. It restates Garner's own point, which is what Text 2 says, not how Text 1 would answer it.
Why each choice is right or wrong
- A. Correct. Okafor's bowls looked identical but differed in weight, with the heavy base hidden in the bottom, so Garner's explanation, which depends on how bowls look, can't account for her diners' ratings.
- B. Incorrect. This is Garner's own point from Text 2. The question asks how Okafor would answer it.
- C. Incorrect. That is Garner's explanation. Okafor argues that the weight of a dish shapes perception, and her identical-looking bowls gave diners no reason to expect one soup to be more expensive.
- D. Incorrect. Nothing in Text 1 suggests that Okafor doubts her own study, and this doesn't answer Garner, whose explanation is about how bowls look, not how they feel.
Worked example Hard
Text 1
Archaeologist Esther Akande has studied the eleven stone circles on Brenna Moor, which she says were raised over about three centuries by the farmers who lived nearby. She notes that the tallest stone in each circle lines up with the sunrise on the shortest day of the year, and she argues that the circles served as calendars marking the turn of the seasons.
Text 2
Archaeologist Liam Ferreira points out that the circles' tallest stones also line up with several other sunrises and sunsets through the year, so a match with the shortest day may be chance. He notes that the ground inside the circles is thick with burned animal bones and broken cooking pots, and he argues that the farming communities around the moor built the circles as sites for large shared feasts.
Based on the texts, Akande (Text 1) and Ferreira (Text 2) would most likely agree with which statement?
- The tallest stone in each circle was placed to line up with the sunrise on the shortest day.
- The circles were used mainly as places for large shared feasts.
- The circles were gathering places at the time of the shortest day of the year.
- The circles were built by farming people who lived near Brenna Moor.Answer
How to solve it
- For a both-agree question, sort each choice: Text 1 only, Text 2 only, neither, or both.
- A is Akande's main claim, which Ferreira disputes. B is Ferreira's claim, which Akande doesn't share.
- C is the tempting blend. It pairs Akande's shortest day with Ferreira's gatherings, but neither author says people gathered at the circles on that day.
- D is the basic fact both accept: local farmers built the circles. The authors disagree only about why they built them.
Why each choice is right or wrong
- A. Incorrect. Only Akande says this. Ferreira argues that the match may be chance: the tallest stones also line up with several other sunrises and sunsets.
- B. Incorrect. Only Ferreira says this. Akande argues that the circles served as calendars.
- C. Incorrect. This mixes the two texts. Akande links the stones to the shortest day and Ferreira links the circles to feasts, but neither says people gathered at the circles on that day.
- D. Correct. Akande says the circles were raised by the farmers who lived nearby, and Ferreira says the farming communities around the moor built the circles. They disagree about purpose, not about who built them.
Trap The wrong direction
If the stem asks how Text 1's author would respond, a choice that simply repeats Text 2's argument is usually backward, and so is the reverse. It is right only if the responding author's own text shows that they agree. Check the stem for who responds, then make sure the choice is built from that author's text.
Trap Only one author says it
In both-agree questions, the strongest-sounding choices are often one author's main conclusion. If the other author disputes it, or nothing in their text supports it, it isn't shared ground. Watch too for a blend that joins a detail from each text into a claim neither makes.
Practice
Choose a section, then practice a whole domain or drill a single skill.
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.
