The Math — Module 1 section of the SAT practice test — 22 questions. Mark your answers, then press Finish at the bottom to see your score.

This is the same test the app serves as Practice Test 1. Working it here spends it: these questions will not be new when you take the test against the clock in the app.

Nothing is marked while you work, just as on the real test. The answers and the worked explanations open when you finish. What you mark is kept in this browser, so closing the tab does not lose it.

Question 1

The function f is defined by f(x)=x2+2x−9. What is the y-intercept of the graph of y=f(x) in the xy-plane?

Show answer

Answer: A — (0,−9)

The y-intercept of the graph of y=f(x) is the point where x=0. Substituting gives f(0)=−9, so the y-intercept is (0,−9).

Question 2

Which expression is equivalent to 12x+18?

Show answer

Answer: A — 6(2x+3)

Factoring out the greatest common factor 6 gives 12x+18=6(2x+3).

Question 3

The graph of y=6x−2 contains a point whose x-coordinate is 5. Which ordered pair represents this point?

Show answer

Answer: D — (5,28)

When x=5, y=6(5)−2=28. Therefore, the point is (5,28).

Question 4

Twelve more than the product of 25 and a number p is 337. Which equation represents this situation?

Show answer

Answer: D — 25p+12=337

The product of 25 and p is 25p. Twelve more than that product is 25p+12, so the equation is 25p+12=337.

Question 5

5(w−19)(w+9)=0

One solution to the given equation is −9. What is the other solution?

Show answer

Answer: C — 19

By the zero-product property, either w−19=0 or w+9=0. The solution from the first factor is w=19.

Question 6

2,4,6,8,10

If the value 10 is removed from the data shown, what is the median of the remaining data?

Show answer

Answer: C — 5

The remaining middle two values are 4 and 6, whose average is 5.

Question 7

The scatterplot shows the width, in meters, of a stream at several locations and an estimate of the water flow rate at each location. A line of best fit is also shown.

123456789101012141618202224262830323436Stream width (meters)Estimated flow rate

According to the line of best fit, which of the following is closest to the estimated flow rate at a stream width of 0 meters?

Show answer

Answer: C — 12.5

The line of best fit is shown and intersects the vertical axis at 12.5. At a stream width of 0 meters, the estimated flow rate is therefore 12.5. The value 2.4 is the slope of the line, not the intercept.

Question 8

How many feet are equivalent to 324 inches? (1 foot =12 inches)

✓ Correct✗ Not correct
Show answer

Answer: 27

324/12=27 feet.

Question 9

Rectangles ABCD and EFGH are similar. The length of rectangle ABCD is 18 meters and its width is 7 meters. The length of rectangle EFGH is 36 meters. What is the perimeter, in meters, of rectangle EFGH?

Show answer

Answer: C — 100

Similar rectangles have proportional corresponding sides, so the scale factor from ABCD to EFGH is 36/18=2. The width of EFGH is 2×7=14 meters. The perimeter of EFGH is 2(36+14)=100 meters.

Question 10

3x+7y=53
5x+2y=40

What is the solution (x,y) to the given system of equations?

Show answer

Answer: B — (6, 5)

Solving simultaneously (elimination or substitution) gives x=6 and y=5.

Question 11

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle XYZ. The ratio of the perimeter of triangle ABC to the perimeter of triangle XYZ is 5:3. If the shortest side of triangle XYZ is 9, what is the length of the corresponding shortest side of triangle ABC?

Show answer

Answer: C — 15

For similar triangles, the ratio of corresponding side lengths equals the ratio of perimeters, 5:3. So the corresponding side in ABC is 9⋅53=15.

Question 12

The graph of y=g(x) is obtained by translating the graph of y=5x right 4 units and down 6 units. Which equation defines function g?

Show answer

Answer: D — g(x)=5x−4−6

A shift right 4 units replaces x with x−4, and a shift down 6 units subtracts 6 from the output. Thus, g(x)=5x−4−6.

Question 13

262626h3

The triangular metal plate shown is equilateral, with each side measuring 26 centimeters. The plate’s height is h3 centimeters, where h is a constant. What is the value of h?

✓ Correct✗ Not correct
Show answer

Answer: 13

The altitude of an equilateral triangle splits it into two 30-60-90 triangles, so the height is 2632=133 centimeters, meaning h=13.

Question 14

A circle has a radius of 15 centimeters. A central angle of 144∘ intercepts an arc. The length of the intercepted arc is kπ centimeters, where k is a constant. What is the value of k?

✓ Correct✗ Not correct
Show answer

Answer: 12

Arc length =144360⋅2π(15)=0.4⋅30π=12π. Thus k=12.

Question 15

−5x+9<−46

What is the smallest integer value of x that is a solution to the given inequality?

✓ Correct✗ Not correct
Show answer

Answer: 12

−5x<−55 gives x>11 after dividing by −5 and flipping the inequality; the smallest integer greater than 11 is 12.

Question 16

123456789123456ONumber of planetarium presentationsNumber of workshops

A science museum schedules 360 minutes for each combination of the number of planetarium presentations, x, and the number of workshops, y, represented by a point on the line shown. Every planetarium presentation has the same length, and every workshop has the same length. Which equation could represent this relationship?

Show answer

Answer: A — 45x+72y=360

The line intersects the x-axis at (8,0) and the y-axis at (0,5). Eight planetarium presentations and no workshops use 360 minutes, so each presentation lasts 360÷8=45 minutes. Five workshops and no presentations use 360 minutes, so each workshop lasts 360÷5=72 minutes. Therefore 45x+72y=360.

Question 17

In Year 2, sales were 12% higher than in Year 1, and in Year 3, sales were 8% higher than in Year 2. If sales in Year 3 were y times sales in Year 1, what is the value of y?

Show answer

Answer: D — 1.2096

y=1.12×1.08=1.2096.

Question 18

35(5x−10)−14(8x+12)=x+96

What value of x satisfies the given equation?

Show answer

Answer: C — 635

The left side simplifies to 3x−6−2x−3=x−9. Thus x−9=x+96, so 6x−54=x+9, 5x=63, and x=635.

Question 19

y=4x2−24x+61
y=8x+b

In the given system of equations, b is an unknown constant. The two graphs intersect at exactly one point (x,y) in the xy-plane. What is the value of x at that point?

Show answer

Answer: C — 4

Setting the two expressions for y equal gives 4x2−24x+61=8x+b, or 4x2−32x+(61−b)=0. Exactly one shared point means this quadratic has a double root at its vertex, x=322(4)=4.

Question 20

xA(x)B(x)03485333

The table gives values of two linear functions, A and B. For what value of x does A(x)=B(x)?

✓ Correct✗ Not correct
Show answer

Answer: 3

A(x)=6x+3 and B(x)=−9x+48 from the table; setting them equal: 6x+3=−9x+48 gives 15x=45, so x=3.

Question 21

Which expression is equivalent to (x2+5x+6)2−4(x2+5x+6)−12?

Show answer

Answer: B — (x2+5x)(x2+5x+8)

Let u=x2+5x+6. Then u2−4u−12=(u−6)(u+2)=(x2+5x)(x2+5x+8).

Question 22

The function m is defined by m(x)=ax+b, where a and b are constants and a>1. In the xy-plane, the graph of y=m(x) passes through the points (1,−28) and (3,−22). What is the value of a−b?

✓ Correct✗ Not correct
Show answer

Answer: 32

The points give a+b=−28 and a3+b=−22. Subtracting gives a3−a−6=0, or (a−2)(a2+2a+3)=0. Since a2+2a+3=(a+1)2+2>0, a=2. Thus b=−30 and a−b=32.

In the app the clock runs, you can pause and pick up where you left off, every question is explained afterwards, and your score is estimated on the test’s own scale. Extended time (1.5× or 2×) is there if you have an accommodation.
