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.

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.

Cross-Text Connections · Lesson 2
How would the author of Text 2 respond?
A common Cross-Text stem names a responder and a target: Based on the texts, how would [the author of Text 2] most likely respond to [the claim] in Text 1?
Read the stem first and find two things: who responds and what they respond to. Then go to the responder's text and ask: given what this person says, what would they think of that claim?
Predict before you read the choices. Say the response in plain words: Text 2's author would say Text 1's explanation is wrong because... or would agree with the finding but.... The right answer rests on what the responding text states or clearly implies. You never need outside knowledge.
Many choices begin with By: By pointing out that..., By agreeing that.... Read past the opening words. A choice can start with the right attitude and then give a reason the responder never states.
Worked example Easy
Text 1
A fourteenth-century map of the Mediterranean shows the port of Valmara drawn far larger than any other city, crowded with towers and banners. Historian Irene Calvo argues that the map reflects how merchants of the time saw the region: to them, she says, Valmara was the leading center of trade.
Text 2
Historian Davide Russo notes that the map was produced by a workshop in Valmara itself. Mapmakers of the period, he explains, routinely drew their home cities oversized and richly decorated. Customs records from the same decades show that at least three other ports handled more trade than Valmara did.
Based on the texts, how would Russo (Text 2) most likely respond to Calvo's argument in Text 1?
- By agreeing that merchants of the period regarded Valmara as the region's leading center of trade.
- By pointing out that Valmara's size on the map likely reflects where the map was made, not the city's trade.Answer
- By arguing that maps of the period were too inaccurate to show the shapes of coastlines correctly.
- By claiming that Valmara had more residents than any other port on the Mediterranean.
How to solve it
- Read the stem: Russo responds, and he responds to Calvo's argument. Calvo says Valmara is drawn largest because merchants saw it as the leading center of trade.
- Go to Russo's text. He says the map was made in Valmara itself, that mapmakers drew their home cities oversized, and that three other ports handled more trade.
- Predict: Russo would say the size shows where the map was made, not how important Valmara was. Choice B matches.
Why each choice is right or wrong
- A. Incorrect. Russo gives no sign of agreeing with Calvo. He explains Valmara's size on the map by the fact that the map was produced by a workshop in Valmara itself, so the map may say little about what merchants thought, and his customs records show that at least three other ports handled more trade than Valmara did.
- B. Correct. Russo notes that the map was produced by a workshop in Valmara itself and that mapmakers routinely drew their home cities oversized, so the city's size on the map likely reflects where the map was made.
- C. Incorrect. Russo says nothing about coastlines or the map's general accuracy. His point is about how mapmakers drew their own city.
- D. Incorrect. Neither text mentions how many people lived in Valmara. Russo's evidence is about trade.
Worked example Medium
Text 1
Psychologist Ana Ruiz gave 200 children, half of whom spoke two languages at home, a task that requires quickly switching attention between rules. The bilingual children switched faster and made fewer errors. Ruiz argues that managing two languages every day trains the ability to control attention.
Text 2
Psychologist Wei Lin notes that Ruiz did not match her two groups for family income, and that in studies like hers, bilingual children often come from wealthier families. Family income is itself linked to performance on attention tasks. When Lin's team compared 4,000 children matched for family income, the bilingual and monolingual groups scored almost identically.
Based on the texts, how would Lin (Text 2) most likely respond to Ruiz's argument in Text 1?
- By suggesting that the difference Ruiz found may be due to family income rather than to speaking two languages.Answer
- By asserting that the monolingual children in Ruiz's study were given a harder version of the task.
- By questioning whether matching children by family income, as Lin's team did, hides a real effect of bilingualism.
- By agreeing that speaking two languages strengthens children's ability to control their attention.
How to solve it
- Who responds, and to what? Lin, to Ruiz's argument that managing two languages trains attention.
- Lin's text: Ruiz did not match her two groups for family income, bilingual children in studies like hers often come from wealthier families, income is linked to attention scores, and when children were matched for family income the groups scored almost identically.
- Predict: Lin would say Ruiz's difference might come from family income, not from bilingualism. His income-matched study is evidence for that, but it used different children, so it can't prove what caused the gap in Ruiz's own study. He can only raise the possibility, which is why the key says may.
- Choice C is a direction trap. It defends Ruiz against Lin's method, which is how Ruiz might answer Lin, not how Lin would answer Ruiz.
Why each choice is right or wrong
- A. Correct. Lin found that when children were matched for family income, the two groups scored almost identically, so he would suspect that income, not bilingualism, explains Ruiz's result.
- B. Incorrect. Neither text mentions different versions of the task. Lin's concern is which families the children came from, not what task they were given.
- C. Incorrect. This is the reverse direction. Doubting Lin's income matching is how Ruiz might answer Lin. Lin would not question his own method.
- D. Incorrect. That is Ruiz's view. Lin's matched groups scored almost identically, which gives him no reason to agree.
Trap Right topic, wrong position
Most choices talk about the same subject, and many even quote real details from the texts. The wrong ones give the responder a position they don't hold: agreeing where they disagree, or disputing something they never discuss. Ask of each choice: did this author take this side?
Trap Swapped or flipped details
A choice may take a detail from one text and hand it to the other, or flip it: before becomes after, more becomes less, the group that did one thing becomes the group that did the other. Check each detail against the text it came from.
Trap True, but not in the text
A choice may state something that is true in the real world, or that an expert might add. If the responding text doesn't say it or clearly imply it, it isn't the answer, however sensible it sounds.
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.
