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.

Boundaries · Lesson 1

Semicolons and colons

A semicolon does two jobs on the SAT. It joins two independent clauses, and it separates items in a list when the items already contain commas.

When a semicolon joins clauses, both sides must be able to stand alone. If either side is a dependent clause or a phrase, the semicolon is wrong.

A colon introduces something that explains, lists or illustrates what came before. The rule that decides most colon questions: the words before the colon must be a complete sentence. The words after it can be a list, a single word, a phrase or another full clause.

That means no colon directly after a verb (includes:), a preposition (of:), or such as. In those spots the sentence isn't complete yet.

Worked example Easy

A typical honeybee colony contains three types of a single queen, thousands of female workers, and a few hundred male drones.

Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

  1. bees:Answer
  2. bees;
  3. bees
  4. bees, including:

How to solve it

  1. A typical honeybee colony contains three types of bees is a complete sentence.
  2. What follows is a list that names those three types.
  3. A colon after a complete sentence introduces a list, so bees: is correct.

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Correct. The words before the colon form a complete sentence, and the colon introduces the list that explains three types of bees.
  • B. Incorrect. A semicolon joining clauses needs an independent clause on each side, and the list after it is not a clause.
  • C. Incorrect. With no punctuation, three types of bees a single queen runs the list into the sentence with nothing to introduce it.
  • D. Incorrect. A colon directly after including separates that word from the list it introduces. The sentence before the colon is not complete.

Worked example Medium

The traveling exhibit will stop in three cities this year: Lagos, Accra, Ghana; and Dakar, Senegal.

Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

  1. Nigeria:
  2. Nigeria,
  3. Nigeria;Answer
  4. Nigeria

How to solve it

  1. Each item in this list already contains a comma: Accra, Ghana and Dakar, Senegal.
  2. When list items contain commas, semicolons separate the items so the reader can tell where each one ends. The rest of the list already uses semicolons.
  3. The first item, Lagos, Nigeria, must end with a semicolon too.

Why each choice is right or wrong

  • A. Incorrect. A colon would introduce an explanation of Lagos, Nigeria, but Accra, Ghana is the next item in the list.
  • B. Incorrect. A comma here makes it unclear whether Nigeria is a separate stop, and it breaks the semicolon pattern the list already uses.
  • C. Correct. A semicolon separates Lagos, Nigeria from the next item, matching the semicolon before and Dakar, Senegal.
  • D. Incorrect. With no punctuation, Nigeria Accra runs two items together.
