SAT Inferences Worksheet
Inference questions ask 'which choice best completes the text?' The right answer is the logical continuation of the passage's argument — not a leap beyond the evidence. This worksheet page turns that skill into a focused review asset: what to know, what to practice, and what to check before moving on.

Rules to remember
Before drilling this skill, memorize the core rules below and keep them next to your scratch work.
- The correct answer is the tightest logical extension of the given text.
- If a choice requires outside information, it is wrong.
- Beware of opposite-direction answers that mirror the passage structure but flip meaning.
Practice routine
Start untimed until you can explain the pattern. Then switch to timed sets so the skill holds up inside a full module.
- Do 10 warmup questions and write down every mistake type.
- Do 20 timed questions from the same skill.
- Review missed questions without looking at the explanation first.
- Repeat the misses 48 hours later to confirm the fix stuck.

FAQs
How do I practice SAT inferences?
Drill inferences as its own skill first, then mix it into timed modules. Isolated practice builds the pattern; timed modules prove you can use it under pressure.
Is inferences important on the Digital SAT?
Yes. It is part of the official Information and Ideas domain for the SAT Reading & Writing section, so it can appear on real test forms.
Should I review explanations after every question?
Review every missed or guessed question. Correct guesses still hide weak reasoning, and weak reasoning becomes expensive on hard Module 2.
