“4 Wholeness” by Gabriella Hanna | AP 3-D Art and Design A photo styled like a Renassaince painting. A woman is adorned with a green, full-body veil with arms bent out. The veil is tied together with a sculpted head of a ram.
Choice D is correct. The given function f is a linear function. Therefore, the graph of y = f(x) in the xy-plane has one x-intercept at the point (k, 0), where k is a constant. Substituting 0 for f(x) and k for x in the given function yields 0=7k - 84. Adding 84 to both sides of this equation yields 84=7k. Dividing both sides of this equation by 7 yields 12=k. Therefore, the x-intercept of the graph of y = f(x) in the xy-plane is (12, 0).
SAT Math Practice The function f is defined by f(x) = 7x - 84. What is the x-intercept of the graph of y = f(x) in the xy-plane? A) (-12,0) B) (-7,0) C) (7,0) D) (12,0)

Choice A is the best answer. "In particular" logically signals that the information in this sentence-that maize and wheat supply chains transformed North American foodways into a global food system—provides specific, precise details elaborating on the more general information in the previous sentence about the transformation of North American foodways (with maize and wheat the "certain grains" at the center of it).
SAT Reading and Writing Practice Following the American Revolutionary War, North American foodways underwent a radical transformation, fueled in large part by spiking consumer demand for certain grains. The cultivation, trade, and transportation of maize and wheat, (BLANK) reconfigured the continent's existing regional foodways into a globally oriented food system. Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition? A) in particular, B) alternatively, C) by comparison, D) second of all,
A photocopy of the first page of the SAT. It has a form for the students information at the top and appears to have been sealed on all sides with a sticker or clamp. The instructions below read: READ THESE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY Do not break the seals of this booklet until the examiner tells you to. When the examiner says "Go," open the booklet and start work on sub-test one. Work steadily and as quickly as is consistent with accuracy. The time of each sub-test has been fixed so that very few can finish any one of thein in the time allowed. Do not worry if you cannot finish all of the problems in each sub-test before time is called. Follow the examiner's instructions exactly. Start work on a test when he says "Go," and stop work immediately when he says "Stop." During the time allowed for each sub-test, you must work on that particular sub-test and no other. You will not be allowed to work ahead on sub-test which has not been announced by the examiner, nor to go back and work on a sub-test that you have failed to finish. If, therefore, you finish any sub-test before time is called, re-check your work on that test. Work steadily but do not press too hard for speed. Accuracy counts as well as speed. Do not penalize yourself by careless mistakes. After reading these instructions, wait. Do not break the seals to open the booklet until the signal is given.

“El Nopal de Michoacan” by Carmen Casillas | AP 3-D Art and Design A ceramic cactus adorned with picture frames on its surface. They depict scenes rooted in memories from a trip.
SAT Reading and Writing Practice: Choice B is the best answer. The convention being tested is punctuation use between a verb and its complement. No punctuation is needed between the verb "is called" and its complement "the chromophore." The complement helps complete the idea of the verb-in this case, it explains what the part of a compound that determines the compound's color is called-and any punctuation between the two results in an ungrammatical sentence.
SAT Reading and Writing Practice The part of a compound that determines the the chromophore. compound's color is One example of a chromophore is hemoglobin, which gives human blood its red color.

TEXT: The equation for the line representing the boundary of the shaded region can be written in the form y = b, where (0, b) is the y-intercept of the line in the xy-plane. For the graph shown in the xy-plane, the boundary line passes through the points (-15, 36) and (0, 36). Thus, the equation of the boundary line is y = 36 Since the shaded region represents all the points on and above this boundary line, it follows that the graph represents all the solutions to the inequality y >= 36.

TEXT: Choice C is the best answer because it presents a finding that, if true, would most strongly support Manenti and team's claim that olms regularly come to the surface to find food. The text explains that scientists previously believed olms remained in their underwater caves throughout their lives, but Manenti's team claims that olms actually surface regularly to perform important activities like finding food. Since earthworms from surface soils would not be present in underwater caves, the finding that such earthworms constitute a major part of olms' diet would provide compelling evidence that olms regularly leave their underwater cave environment to obtain food from the surface, thus supporting the underlined claim.
TEXT: SAT Reading and Writing Practice Olms are salamanders that live in underwater caves. Scientists once thought that olms stay in their caves all their lives. However, Raoul Manenti and team claim that olms regularly come to the surface to perform important activities such as finding food. Which finding, if true, would most strongly support that "olms regularly come to the surface to perform important activities such as finding food?" A) Researchers determine that olms don't breed often. B) Researchers confirm that olms live in only a few cave systems. C) Researchers discover that earthworms from surface soils are a major part of olms' diet. D) Researchers learn that olms' brains differ from other salamanders' brains.

Dramatic lighting paints her face and the calligraphy stiches her mouth shut as she pulls it taut between her fingers on either end.
TEXT: Choice C is the best answer because it most accurately states the main idea of the text. The text begins by establishing Ruth Asawa as an artist who worked in several art forms but emphasizes that she was interested in art for reasons other than her desire to create it. The text mentions two ways in which Asawa brought art to children through public schools: cofounding the Alvarado School Arts Workshop in 1968 and helping found a public arts high school in 1982. Thus, the main idea is that Asawa's interest in art education motivated her to establish arts programs for students in San Francisco.
TEXT: SAT Reading and Writing Practice Ruth Asawa was an accomplished artist who worked in many art forms, including her unique tied-wire sculptures, but she was dedicated to more than the creation of art. Asawa also wanted to bring art to children in her hometown of San Francisco, California. To that end, in 1968 she cofounded the Alvarado School Arts Workshop, which brought works of art and artists into public schools, and in 1982 she helped found a San Francisco public arts high school, which was later named after her. Which choice best states the main idea of the text? A) Asawa inspired many other artists to share their work with students in public schools. B) Asawa's unique sculptures were appreciated more by local art communities than they were nationwide. C) Asawa's interest in art education prompted her to create art programs for students in San Francisco. D) Asawa left a promising career as a sculptor to work as an art teacher in San Francisco schools.
“The Immigration Queue” by Zoya Gupta | AP Drawing
TEXT: March 14 SAT Score Release
TEXT: Choice A is correct. It's given that length WZ and length XY intersect at point Q. It follows that angle WQX and angle YQZ are vertical angles, which means they are congruent to each other. The figure shows that angle W and angle Y both have a measure of a°, so they are congruent to each other. Therefore, triangle QWX and triangle QYZ are similar triangles, where length WQ corresponds to length YQ and length WX corresponds to length YZ. Since the lengths of corresponding sides in similar triangles are proportional, it follows that YZ/YQ = WX/WQ. It's given that YQ=21, WQ=70, and WX=60. Substituting 21 for YQ, 70 for WQ, and 60 for WX in the equation YZ/YQ = WX/WQ yields YZ/21 = 60/70, or YZ/21 = 6/7. Multiplying each side of this equation by 21 yields YZ = 18 Therefore, the length of YZ is 18.

TEXT: Choice D is the best answer because it most accurately describes how the underlined portion functions in the text as a whole. The function of the underlined portion is to identify a circumstance that is comparable to one in the study and that helps justify LaBerge and team's conclusion, presenting the close similarity of visual tracking in wakeful and dreaming scenarios as support for the implicit idea that the brain perceives dream objects not as imaginary but as somewhat or fully real objects.
TEXT: Curious about how people visually perceive objects in their dreams, Stephen LaBerge and team recruited lucid dreamers-people aware that they're dreaming as it's happening-for a research study. These participants were reliably able to signal when they had entered a dream state; the team then observed participants' eye movements as they slept. [UNDERLINE START] The smoothness with which participants' eyes tracked objects in their dreams closely matched how sighted people who are awake visually track objects around them, [UNDERLINE END] suggesting to the team that the brain perceives dream objects as the product of something other than pure imagination. Which choice best states the function of the underlined portion in the text as a whole? A) To offer key evidence that undermines LaBerge and team's initial hypothesis B) To show the unexpected result that led LaBerge and team to change the focus of their study C) To illustrate an important real-world implication of LaBerge and team's main finding D) To identify a comparable circumstance that helps justify LaBerge and team's conclusion

“Dawn” by Valeria Dumitrascu | AP Drawing A warm-toned painting of four young women lying down on a minature suburban town at sunset. Their hair sprawls out on the park grass beneath them. Houses and power lines that line the streets frame them in the left side of the composition. The saturated color pallete and happy expressions on their faces help express a reflection of hometown relationships.
TEXT: SAT Math Practice Choice D is correct. It's given that the equation 80S + 90C = 1,120 represents this situation, where S is the number of square tokens won, C is the number of circle tokens won, and 1,120 is the total number of points the tokens are worth. It follows that 80S represents the total number of points the square tokens are worth. Therefore, each square token is worth 80 points. It also follows that 90C represents the total number of points the circle tokens are worth. Therefore, each circle token is worth 90 points. Since a circle token is worth 90 points and a square token is worth 80 points, then a circle token is worth 90-80, or 10, more points than a square token.
TEXT: SAT Math Practice At a state fair, attendees can win tokens that are worth a different number of points depending on the shape. One attendee won S square tokens and C circle tokens worth a total of 1,120 points. The equation 80S + 90C = 1, 120 represents this situation. How many more points is a circle token worth than a square token? A) 950 B) 90 C) 80 D) 10
