SAT Data Analysis Practice (Digital SAT, With Answers)
SAT data analysis practice: ratios, percents, mean and median, and probability. Live set plus eight worked items.
Larry Learns Team
SAT data analysis practice is the Problem-Solving and Data Analysis domain on Digital SAT Math: about 5 to 7 scored questions, roughly 15% of the section. Ratios, percentages, measures of center, scatterplots, and probability. The live set below is the artifact.
These are the same kind of items as a Larry Learns problem-solving quiz: eight below, five per session in the app, then a streak. Probability as a typed skill has its own spoke at SAT probability questions. This page is the rest of the domain plus a couple of probability items so the mix matches the test.

College Board's Math overview lists four domains: Algebra (13 to 15 questions), Advanced Math (13 to 15), Problem-Solving and Data Analysis (5 to 7), and Geometry and Trigonometry (5 to 7). Math is 44 questions in 70 minutes, two 35-minute modules. Source: The Math Section: Overview. The educator alignment page puts those shares at about 35%, 35%, 15%, and 15%. Source: Math Specifications. College Board's list for this domain is ratios, rates, percentages, one-variable data, two-variable data, probability, inference from samples, and evaluating statistical claims. A table in the stem is not decoration. Read the units first. The next SAT dates after this update are October 3, 2026, November 7, 2026, and December 5, 2026. The bank is 25,000+ questions on iPhone, Android, and the web with the same account. Free accounts get three quizzes a day, five questions by default. Ace at $19/month removes both daily caps.
SAT Data Analysis Practice Questions With Answers
Cover the answers. Finish the eight. Then read every explanation. The live set above the fold is a fresh draw from the same skill.
1. A shirt costs $40. It is 25% off. What is the sale price?
A) $10
B) $15
C) $30
D) $35
Answer: C. 25% of 40 is 10, so 30. 10 is the discount, not the price.
2. The ratio of red to blue marbles is 2:3. There are 10 marbles. How many are red?
A) 2
B) 4
C) 5
D) 6
Answer: B. 2 + 3 = 5 parts, each part 2, so 4 red. 6 is blue.
3. The data set is 2, 4, 4, 6, 14. What is the mean?
A) 4
B) 6
C) 14
D) 30
Answer: B. Sum 30, count 5, mean 6. 4 is the mode and the median. 30 is the sum.
4. Same data set: 2, 4, 4, 6, 14. What is the median?
A) 2
B) 4
C) 6
D) 14
Answer: B. The middle value in order is 4. Do not average 4 and 6; the count is odd.
5. A bag has 3 green and 5 yellow. One marble is drawn at random. What is P(green)?
A) 3/5
B) 3/8
C) 5/8
D) 3/15
Answer: B. 3 of 8. 3/5 ignores yellow in the denominator.
6. A car travels 150 miles in 3 hours. What is the average speed?
A) 45 mph
B) 50 mph
C) 153 mph
D) 450 mph
Answer: B. 150/3 = 50. 45 is a 10% off guess.
7. A scatterplot of study hours vs score is roughly linear and rising. Which is the best description?
A) Negative association
B) Positive association
C) No association
D) A circle
Answer: B. Rising left to right is positive. Negative would fall.
8. A sample mean is 80 with margin of error 3. Which interval is the plausible range for the population mean as stated that way?
A) 3 to 80
B) 77 to 83
C) 80 to 83
D) 0 to 3
Answer: B. Mean plus or minus the margin. This is the language College Board uses for inference items, not a proof of coverage.
If probability was the miss, switch to the probability spoke after this set. If the miss was percent or ratio, stay here. Mixed Math still belongs on SAT Math once the domain leak is named.
A Week of Five-Question Passes
Data items die on units, not on calculus. Monday: percents. Sale price is original minus the discount, not the discount itself. Tuesday: ratios. Add the parts before you split the total. Wednesday: mean vs median on the same five-number set. Thursday: a simple probability with a stated bag. Friday: this page, including the margin-of-error interval. Saturday: if probability was the miss, move to SAT probability questions. If percent was the miss, stay here. Sunday: rest. The next SAT dates after this update are October 3, 2026, November 7, 2026, and December 5, 2026. The bank is 25,000+ questions on iPhone, Android, and the web with the same account. Free accounts get three quizzes a day, five questions by default. Ace at $19/month removes both daily caps. A scatterplot that rises is a positive association. You do not need a regression button for that sentence. Save Desmos for a fit the stem actually asks for.
The Digital SAT Math section is 70 minutes, 44 questions, two modules. Reading and Writing is 64 minutes. A five-question pass is not the whole test. It is the amount that actually happens after homework. Log the letter, the domain, and one short reason. That note is the next day's set. start a free practice set is the loop. create a free account keeps the streak on this device and on a Chromebook with the same account.
Frequently Asked Questions About SAT Data Analysis Practice
How many data analysis questions are on the SAT?
College Board lists 5 to 7 Problem-Solving and Data Analysis questions, about 15% of Math.
Is SAT data analysis the same as SAT probability questions?
Probability sits inside this domain. The probability URL is the typed subset. This page is the whole domain.
Do I need a graphing calculator for data items?
A table and a percent are usually faster by hand. Regression items are the Desmos case, on the Desmos page.
Mean or median on a skewed set?
The SAT will ask for one of them by name. Compute that one. 14 in a set of five pulls the mean, not the median.
Should I skip this domain because it is small?
Five to seven questions is the same size as geometry. Percent and ratio items are often the fastest points on Math.
