How these tests map to the real SAT

Test 1 and Test 2 follow the same blueprint, and every question in Test 2 is new. Each test has four modules:

ModuleQuestionsTimeWhat's in it
Reading and Writing 12732 minAll four domains in the official order: Craft and Structure, Information and Ideas, Standard English Conventions, Expression of Ideas
Reading and Writing 22732 minSame domains, set at the harder level
Math 12235 minAlgebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving and Data Analysis, Geometry and Trigonometry; about a quarter are type-in answers
Math 22235 minSame domains, set at the harder level

The question counts, timing, section order, and domain mix follow College Board's published specifications. Every Reading and Writing question has its own short passage; some include a table or graph. Both tests use nearly the same mix of easy, medium, and hard questions, so they work as a before-and-after pair. They aren't statistically equated like official forms, though, so treat a swing of a few questions as noise. Math questions run roughly from easiest to hardest within each module, as they do on the real test.

Two honest differences. First, the real SAT is adaptive: your Module 1 results decide how hard your Module 2 is. Here, Module 2 is fixed at the harder level, so you see the tougher version. Second, the real test mixes in a few unscored pretest questions; these tests score all 98 questions in each.

How to use it

Pick Test 1 or Test 2 on the start screen. The smart sequence: take one early as a baseline, spend a few weeks on your weakest domains, then take the other under exam conditions to see what moved.

  • Exam mode runs each module on a countdown and shows answers only at the end. Use it for a realistic score check: one sitting, phone away, and a 10-minute break between Reading and Writing and Math, just like test day.
  • Practice mode is untimed by default and lets you check each answer and read the explanation right away. Use it when you're learning, not measuring.
  • Quick drill pulls 10 random questions for a short session.

In Math, the calculator button opens a basic calculator plus a link to the free Desmos graphing calculator (the same calculator family built into Bluebook), and the reference sheet button shows the formulas the real test gives you. Get in the habit of using both.

How scoring works (real test vs. this one)

The real SAT reports a total of 400 to 1600, made up of two section scores from 200 to 800. Because it's adaptive, College Board's scoring accounts for the difficulty of the questions you answer correctly, so there's no fixed chart that converts a raw count into a scaled score.

That's why these tests don't pretend to predict your SAT score. Each one reports your percent correct overall, by module, and by content domain, which is more useful anyway: it tells you exactly what to study. For an official score estimate, take a full-length practice test in Bluebook.

What to do after you finish

  1. Start with your weakest domain in the results breakdown, not your overall percent.
  2. Review every miss and every lucky guess. The explanations cover why the right answer works and why the tempting wrong answer doesn't.
  3. Use “Drill my misses” a few days later to see if the fix stuck.
  4. Study the skill behind the pattern with our SAT Math guide and Reading and Writing guide.
  5. Then take the other practice test here, or an official Bluebook test, to confirm your progress. Don't retake the same test to measure improvement; you'll remember the answers.

Sample question 1Craft and StructureHard

Text 1

Many nutrition writers have argued that eating breakfast is essential for maintaining a healthy weight, pointing to surveys showing that people who skip breakfast tend to weigh more than people who eat it. On this view, a morning meal helps regulate appetite for the rest of the day.

Text 2

Survey data linking skipped breakfasts to higher body weight can't establish that one causes the other. People who skip breakfast may differ from breakfast eaters in many ways, such as their sleep schedules or working hours. When researchers have randomly assigned participants to eat or skip breakfast, the resulting differences in weight have generally been small.

Based on the texts, how would the author of Text 2 most likely respond to the argument described in Text 1?

  1. A. By arguing that the surveys described in Text 1 included too few participants to be reliable
  2. B. By pointing out that the survey evidence described in Text 1 shows an association that may not reflect cause and effect
  3. C. By agreeing that breakfast helps regulate appetite but denying that it affects weight
  4. D. By suggesting that people who skip breakfast usually make up for it by eating a larger lunch
Show answerHide answer
Correct answerB. By pointing out that the survey evidence described in Text 1 shows an association that may not reflect cause and effect

The second choice is best. Text 1's argument rests on surveys showing breakfast skippers weigh more. Text 2 says such data “can't establish that one causes the other” because other differences (sleep, work hours) could explain the link — the classic correlation-isn't-causation response.

The first choice is the trap: Text 2 criticizes what the surveys can prove, not how many people they included. Text 2 never agrees that breakfast regulates appetite, and it says nothing about lunch.

Sample question 2Information and IdeasMedium
051015201812159WetlandMeadowForestSuburban parkSiteSpecies per visit
Average Number of Bird Species Observed per Visit, by Site

Members of a birding club recorded the number of bird species they observed during each visit to four sites in their county over one year. The graph shows the average number of species observed per visit at each site. A club member noted that the average number of species observed per visit at the forest site was ______

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

  1. A. higher than the average at every other site.
  2. B. higher than the average at the meadow site but lower than the average at the wetland site.
  3. C. lower than the average at the suburban park site.
  4. D. the same as the average at the meadow site.
Show answerHide answer
Correct answerB. higher than the average at the meadow site but lower than the average at the wetland site.

The second choice is best. The forest bar is 15 species per visit — more than the meadow (12) but fewer than the wetland (18).

The first choice is the trap for anyone who glances at the tall middle bars: the wetland (18), not the forest, is highest. The forest is also higher than the suburban park (9), and it doesn't match the meadow (12).

Sample question 3Expression of IdeasEasy

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

  • The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is located on a Norwegian island in the Arctic Ocean.
  • It opened in 2008.
  • It stores duplicate seed samples from gene banks around the world.
  • Its purpose is to serve as a backup if seed collections elsewhere are lost or damaged.
  • It is built into a mountain, where permafrost helps keep the samples cold.

The student wants to emphasize the purpose of the seed vault. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

  1. A. Opened in 2008, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault is located on a Norwegian island in the Arctic Ocean.
  2. B. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is built into a mountain, where permafrost helps keep its samples cold.
  3. C. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault stores duplicate seed samples from gene banks around the world, serving as a backup if collections elsewhere are lost or damaged.
  4. D. Located on an Arctic island, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault opened in 2008 and is built into a mountain.
Show answerHide answer
Correct answerC. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault stores duplicate seed samples from gene banks around the world, serving as a backup if collections elsewhere are lost or damaged.

The third choice is best. The goal is the vault's purpose, and this is the only choice that says what the vault is for: holding duplicate seeds as a backup in case other collections are lost.

The other choices are accurate but describe location, opening date, and construction. On rhetorical synthesis questions, the right answer is the one that meets the stated goal — not the one that crams in the most notes.

Sample question 4AlgebraMedium

A theater sells adult tickets for $15 each and student tickets for $9 each. On one night, the theater sold 120 tickets for a total of $1,392. How many student tickets did the theater sell that night?

Show answerHide answer
Correct answer68

The answer is 68. Let a = adult tickets and s = student tickets. Then a + s = 120 and 15a + 9s = 1,392. Substitute a = 120 − s: 15(120 − s) + 9s = 1,392 → 1,800 − 6s = 1,392 → 6s = 408 → s = 68.

Check: 52 adult tickets × $15 = $780, and 68 student tickets × $9 = $612; $780 + $612 = $1,392. ✓ If you got 52, you solved for adult tickets.

Sample question 5Geometry and TrigonometryMedium
ABCDE649

In the figure, segment DE is parallel to segment BC. If AD = 6, DB = 4, and DE = 9, what is the length of BC?

  1. A. 6
  2. B. 13
  3. C. 13.5
  4. D. 15
Show answerHide answer
Correct answerD. 15

15 is correct. Because DE ∥ BC, triangle ADE is similar to triangle ABC (they share angle A, and the parallel lines create equal corresponding angles). Corresponding sides are proportional: BC/DE = AB/AD. AB = 6 + 4 = 10, so BC/9 = 10/6 and BC = 15.

13.5 is the top trap: it uses AD/DB (9 × 6/4) instead of comparing whole sides, AB to AD. 13 just adds 4 to 9, and 6 comes from 9 × 4/6, which flips the segment ratio.

Frequently asked questions

Are these real SAT questions?

No. Every question is original, written to match the official format, question types, and difficulty range. For real retired questions, use College Board's free Bluebook tests.

Should I take Test 1 or Test 2 first?

It doesn't matter. They're built to the same blueprint and domain mix, with a nearly identical difficulty spread. Use whichever you take first as your baseline, and save the other for a progress check after a few weeks of targeted study.

Can I turn my percent correct into an SAT score?

Not reliably. The digital SAT's scoring depends on question difficulty and adaptivity, so any percent-to-score chart would be a guess. Use the domain breakdown to decide what to study.

Why is Module 2 harder?

On the real test, strong Module 1 performance routes you to a harder Module 2, which is the path to top scores. We fixed Module 2 at that level so you practice the tougher version.
