Full-length tests

The real test, rehearsed.

98 questions across four modules, in the digital SAT’s order and on its timing, with a highlighter, a question map and a timer you can see.

A Peakscor full-length test in progress: Reading and Writing, Test A, Module 1 of 4, question 7 of 27, with the passage, four answer choices, a highlighter, a 24:18 timer and Flag, Back and Next buttons.

How it works

One run a day. One skill at a time.

  1. 1

    Play the Daily.

    A quick run with three hearts. String right answers together and the questions get harder and the points multiply.

  2. 2

    Miss one, learn why.

    Every question is tagged by domain and skill, and every answer comes with an explanation.

  3. 3

    Drill that skill.

    Practice any single skill at any difficulty, or just the questions you got wrong.

  4. 4

    Beat your best.

    Come back tomorrow and climb. Progress shows your accuracy and your strongest skills.

Built around the real SAT blueprint.

Every question is tagged by section, domain, skill and difficulty, so you can practice exactly what you need. Full tests run like test day: two Reading & Writing modules, a break, then two Math modules.

Explanations

Every answer, explained.

Not just the right letter: how to get there, and why the tempting answer is wrong.

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: $100then$120then$96

  1. Turn each change into a multiplier.

    Up 20% means × 1.20. Down 20% means × 0.80.

  2. Apply them in order.

    1.20 × 0.80 = 0.96

  3. Read the answer.

    The final price is 96% of the original. That’s B.

  4. 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.

A quick run with three hearts. Each right answer builds your streak: the questions get harder as it grows, and your points multiply (×2 from three in a row, ×3 from six). A miss costs a heart and drops you back to easy. Best is your longest streak.

Rhetorical Synthesis · Lesson 0

Read the goal first

Rhetorical Synthesis questions look like reading questions, but they are really writing questions. A student has taken notes, and you choose the sentence that uses those notes to do one specific job.

That job is stated in the question: The student wants to... Everything you need to decide the answer is in that one sentence. Read it before you read the notes.

Here is the most important fact about these questions: all four choices are accurate. Each one uses information from the notes, and none adds outside facts or contradicts the notes. So Is this true? never separates the right answer from the wrong ones. The only question that matters is Does this sentence do what the student wants?

Turn the goal into a short checklist before you look at the choices. Pick out the task (emphasize a difference, specify when, explain why, introduce) and the topic (which things, which detail). Emphasize a difference between the atmospheres of Mercury and Venus means: both planets, their atmospheres, and a contrast.

Then test each choice against that checklist. Look back at the notes only when you need to, for example to see what a detail refers to. You rarely need to read every note closely.

Worked example Easy

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun.
  • Venus is the second planet from the Sun.
  • Mercury has almost no atmosphere.
  • Venus has a thick atmosphere made mostly of carbon dioxide.
  • Venus's surface is hotter than Mercury's, even though Venus is farther from the Sun.

The student wants to emphasize a difference between the atmospheres of Mercury and Venus. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

  1. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, and Venus is the second planet from the Sun.
  2. Venus's surface is hotter than Mercury's, even though Venus is farther from the Sun.
  3. While Mercury has almost no atmosphere, Venus has a thick one made mostly of carbon dioxide.Answer
  4. Venus has a thick atmosphere made mostly of carbon dioxide.

How to solve it

  1. Read the goal first. The task is to emphasize a difference. The topic is the atmospheres of both planets.
  2. So the right sentence needs Mercury's atmosphere, Venus's atmosphere, and a word that sets them against each other.
  3. While Mercury has almost no atmosphere, Venus has a thick one made mostly of carbon dioxide has all three. The other choices are about something other than atmosphere or mention only one planet.

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Incorrect. This sentence is about the planets' positions, not their atmospheres, and it lists the two facts without contrasting them.
  • B. Incorrect. This sentence does state a difference, but it is a difference in surface temperature, not in atmosphere.
  • C. Correct. The sentence names both atmospheres and uses while to contrast almost no atmosphere with a thick one.
  • D. Incorrect. This sentence describes only Venus's atmosphere. A difference needs both planets.

Worked example Medium

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • In 1799, French soldiers working on a fort in Egypt found a carved stone slab.
  • The slab was found near the town of Rashid, which Europeans called Rosetta.
  • The slab, now known as the Rosetta Stone, carries the same text in three scripts: hieroglyphic, Demotic, and ancient Greek.
  • Since 1802, the Rosetta Stone has been displayed at the British Museum in London.
  • In 1822, Jean-François Champollion announced that he had deciphered Egyptian hieroglyphs, with help from the stone.

The student wants to specify where and when the Rosetta Stone was found. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

  1. The Rosetta Stone was found in 1799 near the town of Rashid, Egypt.Answer
  2. The Rosetta Stone has been displayed at the British Museum in London since 1802.
  3. In 1822, Jean-François Champollion announced that he had deciphered Egyptian hieroglyphs with help from the Rosetta Stone.
  4. The Rosetta Stone carries the same text in three scripts: hieroglyphic, Demotic, and ancient Greek.

How to solve it

  1. The task is to specify a place and a time. The topic is one event: the stone being found.
  2. Two choices give both a place and a date, so check which event each one describes.
  3. The Rosetta Stone was found in 1799 near the town of Rashid, Egypt gives the year and place of the discovery. The British Museum sentence gives a place and a date too, but for the stone's display, a different event.

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Correct. The sentence gives both the year the stone was found, 1799, and the place, near Rashid in Egypt.
  • B. Incorrect. This sentence gives a place and a year, but they tell where and since when the stone has been displayed, not where and when it was found.
  • C. Incorrect. This sentence gives a date for Champollion's announcement about hieroglyphs, not for the stone's discovery, and it gives no place at all.
  • D. Incorrect. This sentence describes the text on the stone. It says nothing about where or when the stone was found.
