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 "Easy" means here

Easy questions test foundational recognition. The rule being applied is one of the first three things you would teach in a unit, and there are no traps in the wrong answers — they are wrong for direct, obvious reasons. A student scoring around 22 composite should clear this tier with high accuracy.
