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.

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.

Words in Context · Lesson 3
Precision: strength and tone
The stem asks for the most logical and precise word. Sometimes two or three choices share a general meaning, and the passage decides which one is exactly right.
Strength. Words come in degrees: noticeable, large, huge. Look for numbers and hedging words, and for how the passage itself judges them. If a writer calls a 3 percent rise too small to matter, the blank can't be huge. A writer who says the evidence only hints at an answer will not call it proof.
Connotation. Words with similar meanings can carry different feelings. Confident is praise; arrogant is criticism. Curious is neutral or positive; nosy is negative. Read the writer's attitude from words such as admired, complained or warned, and match it.
Fit. The right word also has to work with the words around it. A choice can have roughly the right meaning and still sound wrong in the phrase, and then it is not the most precise choice.
To test precision, hold each surviving choice against every clue: the numbers, the hedges and the attitude words. The right word fits all of them. A close wrong choice fails at least one.
Worked example Easy
In a trial of a new fertilizer, agronomist Dev Raman found that wheat plots treated with it produced about 4 percent more grain than untreated plots. Raman described the gain as : large enough to be worth studying further, but too small on its own to persuade most farmers to pay the fertilizer's higher price.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
- dramatic
- negligible
- modestAnswer
- unexpected
How to solve it
- Cover the choices. The colon restates Raman's label: the gain is large enough to be worth studying further, but too small on its own to persuade most farmers.
- That is a middle size: real, but not big. The figure about 4 percent agrees. Predict small but real.
- Modest means moderate, not large. Check the two extremes: dramatic is too strong, and negligible is too weak.
Why each choice is right or wrong
- A. Incorrect. Dramatic is too strong. A gain of about 4 percent that is too small on its own to persuade most farmers is not dramatic.
- B. Incorrect. Negligible is too weak. It means so small it can be ignored, but Raman says the gain is large enough to be worth studying further.
- C. Correct. Modest means moderate in size: real enough to study further, as the colon says, but too small on its own to persuade most farmers.
- D. Incorrect. The passage never says what Raman expected. The explanation after the colon is about the size of the gain, not whether it was a surprise.
Worked example Hard
Critic Rosa Delacroix admired the careful research behind Tomás Ibarra's historical novel but found its prose . She complained that Ibarra lists every pot and spoon in a nineteenth-century kitchen, describes the clothing of each guest at a dinner party, and rarely lets a scene end before he has explained its meaning twice.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
- tediousAnswer
- meticulous
- cryptic
- lyrical
How to solve it
- Cover the choices. But sets the prose against the research Delacroix admired, and complained confirms that her view of the prose is negative.
- Her complaints are about too much detail and too much explaining. Predict dull or wordy.
- Two choices could describe heavily detailed writing: meticulous and tedious. Meticulous praises careful, precise work; tedious means tiresomely long and dull. Only the negative word fits a complaint.
Why each choice is right or wrong
- A. Correct. After but, Delacroix's view of the prose is negative, and she complained about endless lists and meanings explained twice. Tedious means tiresomely long and dull.
- B. Incorrect. This is the tempting choice, since meticulous does mean very detailed. But it is a word of praise, and the passage sets the prose against the research she admired and says she complained. The connotation is wrong.
- C. Incorrect. Cryptic means hard to understand, but Ibarra explains each scene's meaning twice. The problem is too much explanation, not too little.
- D. Incorrect. Lyrical is praise for beautiful, musical writing. Delacroix complained about the prose, and nothing in her complaints concerns its beauty.
Trap Right idea, wrong strength
One choice often overshoots (dramatic, proved, always) and another undershoots (negligible, hinted). Check the passage for numbers and hedging words, and pick the word whose strength matches what the passage supports.
Trap Right idea, wrong feeling
A word can match the meaning and still clash with the writer's attitude. If the writer complains about the thing the blank describes, a word of praise is wrong even when it fits the facts, as meticulous and tedious can both describe heavily detailed prose.
Trap The impressive-sounding word
Some wrong choices are long or unusual words that look like what a smart answer should be. A sophisticated word that doesn't match your prediction is still wrong. Judge every choice by your prediction, not by how advanced 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.
