Directions and Timing
This is the second full-length practice module for the Digital SAT Reading and Writing section. It has twenty-seven questions, and you should give yourself thirty-two minutes. This is the higher-difficulty second module. It still contains a range of difficulty, and on the real test the form a student receives depends on performance in Module 1. Treat it as the module you earn by doing well on the first.
How to Use This Module
- Set a timer for thirty-two minutes and work without pausing, as you would on test day. That averages a little under 72 seconds per question.
- Every question has four choices and exactly one correct answer. There is no penalty for guessing, so never leave a question blank.
- Use mark for review on any question you want to revisit. On the real test, flagged questions are listed on a review screen before you submit the module.
- Expect more traps. In this module the wrong answers are built from true statements, familiar word meanings, and sounds-right grammar. Slow down on the ones that feel obvious.
The Question Order
The module follows the order of the real test. It opens with Craft and Structure (words in context, text structure and purpose, cross-text connections), moves to Information and Ideas (central ideas, command of evidence, inferences), then Standard English Conventions (boundaries, form, structure, and sense), and closes with Expression of Ideas (transitions and rhetorical synthesis).
After the Module
Check your answers against the key and read the explanation for every question, including the ones you got right. Each explanation gives the reasoning behind the right answer and behind each of the three wrong ones. A right answer reached for the wrong reason is worth a second look. Note which skills cost you points, then return to that unit for review.
