CruxStudy › Practice by skill
Every page covers one tested skill: the method for that question type, what the wrong answers are built to look like, and real practice questions with worked explanations.
How to answer SAT and ACT transition questions by sorting every transition into three jobs, with real practice questions and worked explanations.
Practice →Vocabulary in context questions on the SAT and ACT reward reading the sentence, not memorising word lists. The method, the traps, and real practice questions.
Practice →Sentence boundary questions are the most tested punctuation rule on the SAT. How to spot a comma splice in seconds, the legal ways to join two sentences, and real practice.
Practice →Rhetorical synthesis questions give you bullet points and a goal. How to answer them by reading the goal first, the four standard wrong answers, and real practice.
Practice →Command of evidence questions ask which quotation supports a claim. How to test each option against the exact claim, the standard traps, and real practice questions.
Practice →Inference questions ask you to complete a text with the most logical conclusion. How to stay inside what the passage supports, the overreach trap, and real practice.
Practice →Linear function questions are the most common algebra type on the SAT. What slope and intercept mean in context, how to build an equation from a table, and real practice.
Practice →Data representation is the fastest scoring on ACT Science. How to read axes and units first, handle trends and interpolation, plus real practice questions.
Practice →Research summaries describe two or three experiments. How to find the manipulated variable, what a control is for, and how to combine experiments, with real practice.
Practice →Conflicting viewpoints passages present competing explanations. How to separate the shared observation from each claim, answer strengthen and weaken questions, and avoid four recycled traps.
