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.

Words in Context · Lesson 4
Familiar words, unfamiliar meanings
The second kind of Words in Context question points to a word already in the passage and asks: As used in the text, what does the word ... most nearly mean? The word is usually familiar, but here it is used in a less familiar sense.
The choices are usually real meanings of the word, each correct in some other sentence. That is the trap: the meaning you know best is often the one the word has elsewhere, not here.
Use the same method as for a blank. Cover the choices and treat the word as a blank. Read the sentence and its clues, and predict a replacement. Then pick the choice that could replace the word without changing the meaning of the passage.
For example, appreciate usually means be thankful for. But in Collectors expect the rare stamps to appreciate over the next decade, stamps can't be thankful. Here the word means increase in value.
Finally, put your choice in place of the word and reread the sentence. If the sentence turns strange or changes meaning, try again.
Worked example Easy
Wildfire crews spent the afternoon clearing a wide strip of brush along the ridge to check the fire's spread toward the town below. By evening, the flames had reached the cleared strip and stopped advancing.
As used in the text, what does the word “check” most nearly mean?
- examine
- verify
- haltAnswer
- mark off
How to solve it
- Cover the choices and treat check as a blank: the crews cleared brush to the fire's spread.
- The next sentence gives the result: the flames stopped advancing at the cleared strip. Predict stop.
- Halt means stop. Examine and verify are everyday meanings of check, and neither makes sense for blocking a fire.
Why each choice is right or wrong
- A. Incorrect. This is the everyday meaning of check, but the crews weren't studying the fire's spread. They were trying to stop it, and the flames stopped advancing at the strip.
- B. Incorrect. Verify means confirm that something is true. Clearing brush can't confirm a fire's spread; it blocks it.
- C. Correct. The crews cleared brush to stop the fire, and the next sentence confirms that the flames stopped advancing. Check here means halt.
- D. Incorrect. Check can mean marking off an item on a list, but a fire's spread can't be marked off. The passage is about stopping the flames.
Worked example Medium
Reviewers noted that the young pianist Lucía Ferreyra still made small technical slips, such as an occasional smudged note in fast passages. Even so, most agreed that her command of each piece's overall structure was remarkable: she always seemed to know exactly where a long phrase was heading and how it fit into the whole.
As used in the text, what does the word “command” most nearly mean?
- instruction
- masteryAnswer
- leadership
- vantage
How to solve it
- Treat command as a blank: her of each piece's overall structure was remarkable.
- The colon explains: she knew exactly where a long phrase was heading and how it fit into the whole. That is a deep, sure understanding. Predict grasp.
- Mastery matches. The other choices are real meanings of command in other settings: an order, leading troops, a view from high ground.
Why each choice is right or wrong
- A. Incorrect. A command can be an order or instruction, but the pianist isn't giving orders. The colon describes her understanding of how each piece fits together.
- B. Correct. The colon explains that she knew exactly where a long phrase was heading and how it fit into the whole. Command here means thorough understanding and control: mastery.
- C. Incorrect. Command can mean leading a group, as an officer leads troops, but a piece's structure is not a group she leads. The passage is about her understanding of the music.
- D. Incorrect. A hilltop can command a view, which is where this meaning comes from, but the passage describes her knowledge of the music, not a place to look out from.
Trap The everyday meaning
The meaning you use most often comes to mind first, and the SAT often offers it as a choice. When the word is familiar, be suspicious of its most familiar meaning and test it against the clues.
Trap A real meaning from the wrong setting
The other wrong choices are usually real meanings too, from other settings such as business, sports or the military. A choice is right only if it fits this passage. Put it in place of the word and reread the whole sentence.
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.
