Words in Context
Last updated October 26, 2026
Four words or phrases compete for one blank, or for the meaning of one word, in the text. It belongs to the Craft and Structure domain of the Digital SAT Reading and Writing section.
How to approach Words in Context questions
- PINPOINT the SPECIFIC EVIDENCE in the text for choosing your answer.
- Do not choose a word because it sounds idiomatic.
The habit that ruins students on this type
Students plug each word into the blank to see whether it SOUNDS right. STOP doing that.
