Units and Unit Conversion drills for 600-700
Targeted practice for students currently scoring in the 600-700 range, drilling exclusively on units and unit conversion.
What a 600-700 scorer needs from this topic
The 600 to 700 band is the largest plateau on the SAT Math section. Students stuck here are usually accurate on every easy question and most medium questions, but they lose four to six points to harder algebra and to one or two arithmetic slips per section. Breaking out of this band requires both a deeper toolbox and a faster execution speed on the questions you already know how to do. Strengthening-band drills target the harder question patterns: quadratic systems, exponential and rational manipulation, function composition, conditional probability, and the geometry questions that require an extra construction line you must add to the figure yourself.
For Units and Unit Conversion specifically, students in the 600-700 band need to focus on the question patterns the College Board uses at this difficulty level. Convert between units using dimensional analysis. The questions below are pulled from the ScoreReady question bank and filtered to the 600-700 band based on difficulty calibration that matches publicly released College Board practice materials.
Drill these untimed first. Once you can produce a clean worked solution on paper for every question without notes, switch to timed mode and aim for under 75 seconds per question. That pace is roughly the average time per question on the actual SAT Math section, and it leaves time for the harder questions you will see at the end of each module.
Practice set
-
A measurement of 19 kilograms is equivalent to how many grams?
- A 1,900
- B 19,000
- C 190,000
- D 1,019
Worked solution
Answer: B — 19,000
There are 1000 grams in 1 kilograms. Multiply: 19 × 1000 = 19,000 grams.
-

- A 30,000
- B 1,030
- C 3,000
- D 300,000
Worked solution
Answer: A — 30,000
There are 1000 milliliters in 1 liters. Multiply: 30 × 1000 = 30,000 milliliters.
-
A measurement of 20 kilometers is equivalent to how many meters?
- A 20,000
- B 2,000
- C 1,020
- D 200,000
Worked solution
Answer: A — 20,000
There are 1000 meters in 1 kilometers. Multiply: 20 × 1000 = 20,000 meters.
-
A measurement of 2 miles is equivalent to how many feet?
- A 1,056
- B 105,600
- C 10,560
- D 5,282
Worked solution
Answer: C — 10,560
There are 5280 feet in 1 miles. Multiply: 2 × 5280 = 10,560 feet.
-
A measurement of 16 hours is equivalent to how many seconds?
- A 3,616
- B 57,600
- C 5,760
- D 576,000
Worked solution
Answer: B — 57,600
There are 3600 seconds in 1 hours. Multiply: 16 × 3600 = 57,600 seconds.
-
A measurement of 20 kilograms is equivalent to how many grams?
- A 20,000
- B 2,000
- C 1,020
- D 200,000
Worked solution
Answer: A — 20,000
There are 1000 grams in 1 kilograms. Multiply: 20 × 1000 = 20,000 grams.
-
A measurement of 5 liters is equivalent to how many milliliters?
- A 5,000
- B 50,000
- C 1,005
- D 500
Worked solution
Answer: A — 5,000
There are 1000 milliliters in 1 liters. Multiply: 5 × 1000 = 5,000 milliliters.
How to use these drills to climb a band
Climbing from one score band to the next requires a different study mix than climbing within a band. Within a band, you are mostly fixing careless errors and pattern-recognizing the question types you already understand. Climbing to the next band means adding new question types to your toolbox — patterns you currently recognize but cannot solve fluently. The 700–800 set in this drill is exactly that toolbox for students currently in the 600–700 range.
The single most reliable indicator that you are ready to move up a band is being able to explain a worked solution to someone else, in your own words, without referring to notes. Practice this with one classmate or one parent per week. The act of teaching exposes the gaps your timed solves did not.
