What does Cross-text Connections test on the SAT?
Cross-text questions pair two short passages and test how their authors would agree, disagree, or respond to one another. Success depends on identifying each author's exact claim before comparing them.
Common question types
- Find a point of agreement or disagreement
- Predict how one author would respond to the other
- Apply information from one text to the claim in another
Common traps
- Comparing topics instead of viewpoints

- Selecting a response that one text never addresses
