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

For x≠3x\ne3, which expression is equivalent to x2−9x−3\frac{x^2-9}{x-3}?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 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 numerator: x2−9=(x−3)(x+3)x^2-9=(x-3)(x+3). Since x≠3x\ne3, cancel x−3x-3.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is x+3x+3.

Factor the numerator: x2−9=(x−3)(x+3)x^2-9=(x-3)(x+3). Since x≠3x\ne3, cancel x−3x-3.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A line passes through 1,41,4 and 5,125,12. What is the slope of the line?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 2.

  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 slope is 12−45−1=84=2\frac{12-4}{5-1}=\frac{8}{4}=2.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is 2.

The slope is 12−45−1=84=2\frac{12-4}{5-1}=\frac{8}{4}=2.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

A circle has center 2,−12,-1 and radius 3. Which equation represents the circle?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is (x−2)2+(y+1)2=9(x-2)^2+(y+1)^2=9.

  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 center-radius form is (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2. Substituting h=2h=2, k=−1k=-1, and r=3r=3 gives the equation.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is (x−2)2+(y+1)2=9(x-2)^2+(y+1)^2=9.

The center-radius form is (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2. Substituting h=2h=2, k=−1k=-1, and r=3r=3 gives the equation.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which revision correctly completes the sentence? Neither the coach nor the players ___ available for comment.

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is were.

  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: With neither...nor, the verb agrees with the nearer subject, players, which is plural.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is were.

With neither...nor, the verb agrees with the nearer subject, players, which is plural.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A passage states that a neighborhood library offered evening classes, free internet, and tutoring. What can most reasonably be inferred?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is The library was intended to reduce barriers to educational resources..

  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 listed services provide access to learning, technology, and academic support, so reducing barriers is the supported inference.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is The library was intended to reduce barriers to educational resources..

The listed services provide access to learning, technology, and academic support, so reducing barriers is the supported inference.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A scatterplot shows that as hours of sunlight increase, the number of flowers on a plant generally increases. What does the trend suggest?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is There is a positive association between sunlight and flower count..

  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: An upward trend indicates a positive association, but a scatterplot alone does not prove causation.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is There is a positive association between sunlight and flower count..

An upward trend indicates a positive association, but a scatterplot alone does not prove causation.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

The vertex of y=(x−4)2−7y=(x-4)^2-7 is
