Central idea of a passage?

The passage's main claim or controlling point. It should cover the whole passage, not one striking detail.

The shade trees mitigated the midday heat. Meaning of “mitigated”?

Reduced. The trees made the heat less severe.

The first plan was affordable. However, it took twice as long. What relationship does “However” signal?

Contrast. The second statement differs from or qualifies the first.

Three standard joins for two independent clauses?

A period, a semicolon, or a comma plus a coordinating conjunction. Each side must be a complete sentence.

Best supporting detail?

The detail that most directly proves the claim. Relevance matters more than how vivid or surprising it is.

A second archive corroborated the diary's date. Meaning of “corroborated”?

Confirmed with supporting evidence.

Every member of set A is even. Nine is odd; therefore, nine is not in set A. What relationship does “therefore” signal?

Conclusion from a reason. The final statement follows logically from the stated premises.

Introductory dependent clause before a main clause?

Use a comma after the dependent clause. Example: “Although rain fell, the match continued.”

A conclusion that must follow, or that most reasonably follows, from the stated evidence. Avoid assumptions the text never supports.

The team called its result tentative until replication. Meaning of “tentative”?

Provisional or not yet certain.

Several materials block sound. For example, thick felt absorbs echoes. What relationship does “For example” signal?

Illustration. The second statement gives a specific case of the broader point.

Singular subject with an intervening prepositional phrase?

Use a singular verb. Example: “The box of samples is sealed.” The phrase “of samples” does not change the subject.

Strongest textual evidence?

The quotation or detail that most directly supports the target claim, with the fewest extra assumptions.

The error had a negligible effect on the total. Meaning of “negligible”?

So small that it is not important.

The first route avoids steep hills. Similarly, the second stays nearly level. What relationship does “Similarly” signal?

Similarity. The second statement matches the first in a relevant way.

Opening modifier placement?

Place the noun being modified immediately after the opening phrase. Example: “Walking home, Lena noticed the mural.”

Quantitative evidence for a claim?

Use the value, comparison, or trend that directly tests the claim, including the correct units and baseline.

The lab used a conventional method before testing a new one. Meaning of “conventional”?

Traditional or commonly accepted.

Mira checked the figures. Meanwhile, Omar revised the caption. What relationship does “Meanwhile” signal?

Simultaneous events. The second event happens at the same time as the first.

Singular possessive noun?

Usually add apostrophe + s. Example: “the scientist's notebook.”

Trend in a table or graph?

State what changes, in which direction, and across which interval. Do not turn a pattern into a cause without evidence.

The essay offered a novel explanation for the pattern. Meaning of “novel”?

New or original in this context.

The device was old. Nevertheless, it performed reliably. What relationship does “Nevertheless” signal?

Concession. The second statement remains true despite the limitation in the first.

Parallel items in a series?

Use the same grammatical form for each item. Example: “to collect, analyze, and report data.”

Claim stronger than the evidence?

Qualify the claim. Limited evidence can support “may” or “suggests,” not an absolute conclusion.

The plan cuts costs. Moreover, it shortens delivery time. What relationship does “Moreover” signal?

Addition. The second statement adds a related supporting point.

Colon before an explanation or list?

Use it only after a complete independent clause. Example: “The kit needs three items: tape, gloves, and labels.”

Claim versus evidence?

A claim is the point being argued; evidence is the information used to support it.

The memo's ambiguous wording allowed two readings. Meaning of “ambiguous”?

Open to more than one interpretation.

The team didn't replace the sensor. Instead, it recalibrated the existing one. What relationship does “Instead” signal?

Replacement. The second statement substitutes one action for another.

Count nouns versus mass nouns?

Use “fewer” with countable items and “less” with amounts. Example: fewer errors, less noise.

Effect of a counterexample?

It weakens a universal claim by showing at least one case where the claim fails.

The seedlings grew indoors. Subsequently, workers moved them outside. What relationship does “Subsequently” signal?

Later step in a sequence. The second event occurs after the first.

Essential clause punctuation?

Do not surround an essential clause with commas. It identifies which person or thing the sentence means.

Correlation alone proves causation?

No. A relationship between variables does not by itself show that one caused the other.

The coating is hydrophobic. In other words, it repels water. What relationship does “In other words” signal?

Restatement for clarity. The second statement rephrases the first.

Verb tense across a paragraph?

Keep the time frame consistent unless the timing actually changes.

Missing information in a data claim?

Look for the baseline, sample size, units, comparison group, or time interval needed to judge the claim.

The repair requires specialized tools. Specifically, it needs a torque wrench. What relationship does “Specifically” signal?

General-to-specific detail. The second statement narrows the broad first statement.

Coordinate adjectives?

Separate them with a comma when their order can switch and “and” can fit between them. Example: “a clear, concise note.”

Two sources on the same event?

Compare the exact claims, evidence, scope, and perspective. Shared topic does not guarantee agreement.

Heavy rain loosened the soil. Consequently, the trail closed. What relationship does “Consequently” signal?

Cause and effect. The second statement is an outcome of the first.

A group of words missing an independent clause. Attach it to a complete sentence or supply the missing subject and verb.

Inference from a narrow sample?

Limit the conclusion to the population the sample can represent. Do not generalize beyond the evidence.

Early results conflicted. Ultimately, the team accepted the model. What relationship does “Ultimately” signal?

Overall conclusion. The second statement gives the final judgment after earlier considerations.

Digital SAT Flashcards: Math, Grammar & Words in Context

Practice the recall-worthy foundations behind all eight current SAT content domains: math formulas and setup cues, grammar and punctuation rules, transition logic, rhetorical choices, evidence checks, and high-utility words used in original sentence contexts. The 300 cards are ready to install and review offline.

What the cards practice

The deck maps short rule or task cues to a rule, distinction, formula, or setup. Original sentence contexts map to tested word meanings and grammar decisions. Original transition microcontexts name each transition and ask for the relationship it signals. Selected representation-to-interpretation prompts cover ideas such as slope as a rate of change and a residual as actual minus predicted. A few reverse prompts are included when recall in both directions prevents a common setup error.

What is deliberately left out

This is not a bank of SAT questions. It leaves out full passages, timed-test simulation, answer-choice elimination drills, copied questions, answer keys, mark schemes, official diagrams, arbitrary vocabulary lists, formula-symbol permutations, and automatic reversal of every fact. Use College Board's official practice for full reasoning, timing, and the adaptive test experience.

Coverage and learning order

Reading and Writing covers Information and Ideas, Craft and Structure, Expression of Ideas, and Standard English Conventions. Math covers Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving and Data Analysis, and Geometry and Trigonometry. The 15 transition microcontexts stay in their fixed Expression of Ideas slots. Prerequisites appear before dependent ideas inside each topic. Related variants are separated by unrelated cards, while long-term spacing and interleaving stay with the review scheduler.

Scope, provenance, and reuse

The current College Board assessment framework and content-domain pages were used only as a scope and fact-check map. The prompts, answers, microcontexts, examples, selection, organization, sequence, metadata, and generated cover are independently written. Public pages from three current study tools were reviewed only to compare learner expectations; no competitor cards or examples were copied.

The Common knowledge · CC0 1.0 label applies to the original wording, examples, organization, metadata, and generated cover to the extent applicable rights exist. It does not claim ownership of mathematical facts, grammar rules, SAT domain names, College Board names, or third-party source material.

Source review date: September 1, 2026.

This deck is independent and unofficial. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by College Board. No exam questions, mark schemes, or official specifications text were copied; see College Board's official SAT content requirements.

Karte 121
Frage
Two authors use the same evidence but different assumptions. Key difference?
Antwort
Their perspectives or interpretive frameworks, not the underlying evidence.
Karte 122
Frage
Independent clauses joined with a coordinating conjunction?
Antwort
Place a comma before the conjunction. Example: “The sensor failed, so the team repeated the trial.”
Karte 123
Frage
Introductory transition?
Antwort
Follow it with a comma when it modifies the whole sentence. Example: “However, the second trial succeeded.”
Karte 124
