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.

The correct answer is 19.

  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: First calculate g(3)=9g(3)=9. Then f(9)=2(9)+1=19f(9)=2(9)+1=19.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is 19.

First calculate g(3)=9g(3)=9. Then f(9)=2(9)+1=19f(9)=2(9)+1=19.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

A right triangle has legs of lengths 6 and 8. What is the length of its hypotenuse?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 10.

  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: By the Pythagorean theorem, c2=62+82=36+64=100c^2=6^2+8^2=36+64=100, so c=10c=10.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is 10.

By the Pythagorean theorem, c2=62+82=36+64=100c^2=6^2+8^2=36+64=100, so c=10c=10.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which revision places the modifier correctly? After reviewing the data, ___.

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is the researchers revised the hypothesis.

  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 introductory phrase states who reviewed the data, so the following subject should be the researchers.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is the researchers revised the hypothesis.

The introductory phrase states who reviewed the data, so the following subject should be the researchers.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A passage explains that wetlands absorb storm water and provide habitat for birds. Which evidence best supports the author’s claim that wetlands benefit communities?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Measurements showing that wetlands reduce floodwater levels and support local species.

  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: Evidence directly connecting wetlands with flood reduction and habitat supports the claim about community benefits.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is Measurements showing that wetlands reduce floodwater levels and support local species.

Evidence directly connecting wetlands with flood reduction and habitat supports the claim about community benefits.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A data set has values 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. What is the mean?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 8.

  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 sum is 40 and there are 5 values, so the mean is 40/5=840/5=8.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is 8.

The sum is 40 and there are 5 values, so the mean is 40/5=840/5=8.
