Reading and Writing Practice

Practice sets · Jaden's SAT Playbook

Welcome to this section

Learning goal: drill each Reading and Writing play until it feels automatic.

Each play has its own set of eight original questions that start easy and get harder. Pick a play below to practice just that one set. Pick an answer, check it, and read why all four choices are right or wrong before moving on. One set is a perfect lesson day.

Play 1: Watch the trailer, not the whole movie

Main idea and main purpose questions. Read each passage at trailer speed, then answer. Reread the play on the plays page anytime.

Play 2: Prove it on screen

Evidence and inference questions. Before you commit, point to the exact line that proves your choice. If you cannot, it is not the answer.

Play 3: Shrink the sentence

Grammar questions with juicy removable middles. Cross out the extras, find the core, then check the choices.

Play 4: Read the traffic signals

Transition questions. Decide the relationship between the two ideas first, then look at the choices. Never the other way around.
