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.

Wrong answers that look right

Wrong choices in these questions follow a small set of patterns. Once you can name them, you can cross them out quickly.

Test 1: Is it accurate? Check every number and word against the table or graph. This removes choices that misread units or scale (45 instead of 4,500), swap groups or columns, reverse a relationship (rose when the data fell), or overgeneralize: they say every or always when one case breaks the pattern, or turn averages into a statement about every individual.

Test 2: Is it on target? Compare the choices still standing with your checklist from the claim. This removes choices that are true but off target: the wrong group, the wrong year, a snapshot when the claim is about change, or half of a two-part comparison.

Some choices fail both tests. Running the accuracy test first often clears out two choices quickly, but the choice you keep must still match the claim exactly.

Five wrong-answer patterns and how to catch them
PatternWhat it looks likeCatch it by
Off targetaccurate numbers about the wrong group, year or comparisonchecking the choice against the claim's checklist

Adults Who Signed Their Names on Marriage Records in Three Towns (%)

Town18501880
Kestrel4871
Ashgrove5563
Thane3974

Historians often use signatures on marriage records to estimate how many adults could write. Historian Adaeze Nwosu argues that free village schools, which opened in all three towns after 1855 but were most numerous in Thane, had their largest effect there. The marriage records are consistent with this argument:

Which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete the statement?

  1. in 1880, Thane had the largest share of adults who signed their names, 74%.
  2. in Thane, the share of adults who signed their names rose by 35 percentage points, from 39% to 74%, compared with 23 points in Kestrel and 8 points in Ashgrove.Answer
  3. in every town, more than half of adults signed their names in both 1850 and 1880.
  4. in Thane, the share of adults who signed their names fell from 74% to 39%.

How to solve it

  1. Test 1, accuracy: choice C fails, because in 1850 only 48% in Kestrel and 39% in Thane signed their names. Choice D reverses Thane's change. Both are out.
  2. Test 2, on target: largest effect is about change after the schools opened, so the choice needs Thane's rise compared with the other towns' rises. Choice A is accurate but gives only 1880, a snapshot.
  3. Choice B gives the change in all three towns: 74 − 39 = 35 points in Thane, 71 − 48 = 23 in Kestrel and 63 − 55 = 8 in Ashgrove.

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Incorrect. It's accurate, but it's a snapshot. Largest effect is about change after the schools opened, and a high 1880 share doesn't show how much Thane improved; Kestrel's 1880 share (71%) was nearly as high.
  • B. Correct. The schools' effect shows up as change from 1850 to 1880: 74 − 39 = 35 points in Thane, 71 − 48 = 23 in Kestrel and 63 − 55 = 8 in Ashgrove. Thane's rise was the largest.
  • C. Incorrect. This overgeneralizes. In 1850, only 48% of adults in Kestrel and 39% in Thane signed their names, less than half in each town.
  • D. Incorrect. This reverses the change. Thane's share was 39% in 1850 and 74% in 1880, so it rose.

Worked example Hard

In 2017, the Varga Art Museum stopped charging admission on weekdays but kept charging for weekend visits. Museum director Zsófia Bende reports that within a few years, the change closed the gap between weekday and weekend attendance.
Average daily visitors to the Varga Art Museum on weekdays and weekends, 2014–20202014201520162017201820192020012345678910111213141516YearAverage daily visitors (hundreds)WeekdaysWeekends
Average daily visitors to the Varga Art Museum on weekdays and weekends, 2014–2020 Line graph, in hundreds of visitors per day. Weekdays: 4 in 2014, 4 in 2015, 5 in 2016, 8 in 2017, 10 in 2018, 12 in 2019 and 14 in 2020. Weekends: 12 in 2014, 13 in 2015, 12 in 2016, 12 in 2017, 13 in 2018, 12 in 2019 and 12 in 2020.

Which choice most effectively uses data from the graph to support Bende's claim?

  1. Average weekday attendance was 5 visitors per day in 2016, compared with 12 on weekends, but by 2019 both averaged 12 visitors per day.
  2. Average weekend attendance was 1,200 visitors per day in both 2014 and 2020.
  3. Average weekday attendance was at least as high as average weekend attendance in every year from 2017, when weekday admission became free, through 2020.
  4. Average weekday attendance was 500 visitors per day in 2016, compared with 1,200 on weekends, but by 2019 both averaged 1,200 visitors per day.Answer

How to solve it

  1. The claim is about a gap closing, so the choice needs both lines: weekdays well below weekends before the change, then equal later.
  2. Read the y-axis title first: visitors are in hundreds. A weekday value of 5 means 500 visitors per day, and 12 means 1,200.
  3. Accuracy test: choice A drops the hundreds, and choice C fails in 2017 and 2018. On-target test: choice B is accurate but covers only weekends. Choice D is left.

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Incorrect. The y-axis is in hundreds, so 5 and 12 mean 500 and 1,200 visitors per day. The pattern is right, but the numbers misstate the data.
  • B. Incorrect. It's accurate, but it describes only weekends. The claim is about the gap between weekday and weekend attendance.
  • C. Incorrect. This overgeneralizes. In 2017 weekdays averaged 800 visitors per day and weekends 1,200, and in 2018 it was 1,000 versus 1,300, so weekdays were lower in both years.
  • D. Correct. In 2016, before the change, weekdays (500) trailed weekends (1,200) by 700 visitors per day; by 2019 both averaged 1,200, so the gap had closed within a few years.

Trap Words that go beyond the data

Every, always, all and never are accurate only if no case breaks the pattern, so test them against every row or point. Also watch for choices that turn averages into statements about every individual, or that describe years the data don't cover.

Trap The almost-right numbers

A choice can use the right digits and still misstate the data: a value in hundreds read as ones, a percent read as a count, or two values swapped between groups. Each of these makes the choice inaccurate, however close it looks.
