SAT Reading & Writing practice questions

448 questions. Practice questions across the four Reading and Writing skill areas, each with a worked explanation that says why the other three choices fail. Work one area at a time and reveal the answer only after a real attempt.

Every question is free to work through, with the answer and a worked explanation on the page beside it. No account, no email, and nothing to install. Words are tested in context rather than as definitions — the vocabulary page pairs each one with the sense the test wants.

Four skill areas

Work one at a time. Every question on these pages carries a worked explanation, and marking one wrong adds its skill to the Weak Skills replay in the practice games.

112 questions

Information & Ideas

Central ideas, supporting detail, inference, and reading evidence from a short text or a data description. The answer must be supported by the passage rather than merely consistent with it.

112 questions

Craft & Structure

Word meaning in context, the purpose a sentence or paragraph serves, and how two texts relate. Read the sentence around the blank before looking at any choice.

112 questions

Expression of Ideas

Transitions, organization, and using given notes to meet a stated goal. These questions name the goal explicitly, so the choice that best meets that goal wins even when another reads more smoothly.

112 questions

English Conventions

Sentence boundaries, punctuation, agreement, verb tense, modifiers, and possessives. Find the subject and the main verb first; most errors here are visible the moment those two are identified.
