How to use this drill

Open the questions one at a time. Read the prompt, decide on an answer before scrolling, then check the explanation. The point of a drill is not to "get the question right" — it's to internalize the rule so you can apply it cold under timed conditions on test day.

If you're missing more than a third of the questions in this set, drop down a difficulty tier and rebuild from there. If you're getting all of them quickly, jump up a tier and try a mixed drill across subtopics.

What "Medium" means here

Medium questions add a layer — multi-step calculation, two competing rules, or a mildly tempting wrong answer that requires careful reading. A student scoring around 26 composite should be solid here; this is also the sweet spot for most score-improvement work.
