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.

Command of Evidence (Textual) · Lesson 4
Quotations that illustrate a claim
Literature questions give you a claim about a novel, poem, play or speech and ask which quotation most effectively illustrates it. All four quotations come from the work, so none is wrong about the text. Only one shows what the claim says.
Break the claim into parts, just as you would a hypothesis: who it is about, what quality, feeling or idea it names, and any twist, such as both A and B, A but not B or A hidden behind B. A claim that the speaker misses her hometown but is glad she left has two halves, and the right quotation shows both.
Read each quotation for its meaning, not its words. A quotation can repeat a word from the claim and mean something else, or describe the right character doing something unrelated.
The right quotation doesn't have to use any of the claim's words. Often it shows the idea through an action or an image, and your job is to see what that action or image shows.
Worked example Easy
The Harrowgate Lamps is a 1912 novel by Edith Calloway. In the novel, the narrator suggests that her grandfather found comfort in keeping to a fixed daily routine.
Which quotation from The Harrowgate Lamps most effectively illustrates the claim?
- "My grandfather had been a sailor in his youth, and even fifty years ashore he still walked as if the floor might tilt beneath him."
- "Every evening at six he wound the hall clock, and only when the key was back on its nail did his shoulders ease."Answer
- "He kept a calendar on the kitchen wall, though I never once saw him look at it."
- "Visitors found him gruff and short with them, and few of them ever stayed longer than a single cup of tea in the front parlor."
How to solve it
- Pin down the claim. Who: the grandfather. Two parts: he keeps a fixed routine, and it gives him comfort.
- Look for a habit he repeats at the same time, and a sign that it calms him.
- Every evening at six he wound the hall clock is a fixed routine, and only when the key was back on its nail did his shoulders ease shows the comfort it brings.
Why each choice is right or wrong
- A. Incorrect. This describes the grandfather's past and the way he walks. It shows no routine and no comfort.
- B. Correct. Winding the clock every evening at six is a fixed routine, and his shoulders easing once it's done shows that the routine comforts him.
- C. Incorrect. A calendar suggests schedules, but he never looks at it, so the quotation shows no routine and no comfort. It shares a topic with the claim, not its meaning.
- D. Incorrect. This shows how visitors saw the grandfather. It says nothing about a routine or about what comforts him.
Worked example Medium
"Low Tide at Merrow" is an 1887 poem by Alaric Penhallow. In the poem, the speaker presents the sea near a small fishing village as both beautiful and dangerous.
Which quotation from "Low Tide at Merrow" most effectively illustrates the claim?
- "How bright the morning lies upon the bay, / each wave a ribbon of unbroken light / that folds and settles on the pale sand."
- "The fishermen mend their nets along the old harbor wall / and speak of weather in their slow, low tones."
- "The storm wind tore the shutters from the inn / and flung the gulls like ashes down the narrow cobbled lane."
- "The water spreads its silver lace across the stones / and hides beneath it all the ships it has devoured."Answer
How to solve it
- Pin down the claim. Subject: the sea. Twist: both beautiful and dangerous. The right quotation needs both halves.
- Sort the choices. The bright bay is beautiful only. The storm wind is dangerous, but it is wind, not sea. The fishermen are neither.
- Silver lace makes the water beautiful, and all the ships it has devoured makes it deadly. Only the last choice has both.
Why each choice is right or wrong
- A. Incorrect. The bright bay and waves of light make the sea beautiful, but nothing in these lines makes it dangerous. This is half the claim.
- B. Incorrect. These lines are about the fishermen, not the sea. Talk of weather hints at the sea's moods but shows neither its beauty nor its danger.
- C. Incorrect. These lines show danger, but the danger comes from the wind, not the sea, and nothing in them is beautiful.
- D. Correct. Silver lace presents the water as beautiful, and hides beneath it all the ships it has devoured presents it as deadly, so the lines show both halves of the claim.
Trap The one-word match
A quotation that repeats a word from the claim, or something close to it, can feel like a match. Check the meaning. A calendar no one looks at shares a topic with a claim about routine but shows nothing about it.
Trap Half the claim, again
Claims built with both, but, yet or hides have two halves, and wrong answers often show one of them vividly. Before choosing, name both halves and point to the words in the quotation that show each.
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.
