Grade 12 SAT Practice Tests

These Grade 12 SAT practice tests provide focused practice for SAT Math and Reading and Writing. Questions cover algebra, advanced math, problem-solving and data analysis, geometry and trigonometry, craft and structure, information and ideas, standard English conventions, and expression of ideas.

Skills covered

  • SAT Math: linear equations, systems, inequalities, percentages, ratios, functions, quadratics, exponentials, probability, statistics, geometry, and trigonometry
  • SAT Reading and Writing: central ideas, inferences, evidence, words in context, transitions, rhetorical purpose, and relationships among ideas
  • Standard English conventions: subject-verb agreement, pronouns, modifiers, sentence boundaries, colons, commas, and concise construction
  • Data and reasoning: slopes, scatterplots, averages, percent change, sampling, units, and interpreting models

How to use these practice tests

For Math, translate the question into an equation, keep track of units, and check the result. For Reading and Writing, return to the evidence, identify the relationship between ideas, and choose the option that is both grammatically correct and appropriate for the context.

1. QuestionMultiple choice

If 3x+5=203x+5=20, what is the value of xx?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 5.

  1. Identify the SAT skill: Determine whether the question tests Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving and Data Analysis, Geometry and Trigonometry, Reading, Writing, or language conventions.
  2. Work from the evidence: Subtract 5 from both sides to get 3x=153x=15, then divide by 3. Therefore, x=5x=5.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is 5.

Subtract 5 from both sides to get 3x=153x=15, then divide by 3. Therefore, x=5x=5.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A jacket originally costs $80 and is discounted by 25%. What is the sale price?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is $60.

  1. Identify the SAT skill: Determine whether the question tests Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving and Data Analysis, Geometry and Trigonometry, Reading, Writing, or language conventions.
  2. Work from the evidence: A 25% discount leaves 75% of the original price. Calculate 0.75(80)=600.75(80)=60.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is $60.

A 25% discount leaves 75% of the original price. Calculate 0.75(80)=600.75(80)=60.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

What are the solutions to x2−5x+6=0x^2-5x+6=0?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is x=2x=2 and x=3x=3.

  1. Identify the SAT skill: Determine whether the question tests Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving and Data Analysis, Geometry and Trigonometry, Reading, Writing, or language conventions.
  2. Work from the evidence: Factor the expression as (x−2)(x−3)=0(x-2)(x-3)=0. The zero-product property gives x=2x=2 or x=3x=3.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is x=2x=2 and x=3x=3.

Factor the expression as (x−2)(x−3)=0(x-2)(x-3)=0. The zero-product property gives x=2x=2 or x=3x=3.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which revision correctly completes the sentence? The collection of survey responses ___ stored in the database.

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is is.

  1. Identify the SAT skill: Determine whether the question tests Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving and Data Analysis, Geometry and Trigonometry, Reading, Writing, or language conventions.
  2. Work from the evidence: The subject is the singular noun collection, so the singular verb is is.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is is.

The subject is the singular noun collection, so the singular verb is is.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A passage describes how a city planted trees, expanded bus routes, and converted an empty lot into a park. Which choice best states the central idea?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is The city used several coordinated projects to improve the urban environment..

  1. Identify the SAT skill: Determine whether the question tests Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving and Data Analysis, Geometry and Trigonometry, Reading, Writing, or language conventions.
  2. Work from the evidence: The examples work together to show a broad environmental improvement strategy, not one isolated project.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is The city used several coordinated projects to improve the urban environment..

The examples work together to show a broad environmental improvement strategy, not one isolated project.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A linear function has a slope of 4 and passes through 2,72,7. What is its y-intercept?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is -1.

  1. Identify the SAT skill: Determine whether the question tests Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving and Data Analysis, Geometry and Trigonometry, Reading, Writing, or language conventions.
  2. Work from the evidence: Use y=mx+by=mx+b: 7=4(2)+b7=4(2)+b, so b=−1b=-1.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is -1.

Use y=mx+by=mx+b: 7=4(2)+b7=4(2)+b, so b=−1b=-1.
