In the 1950s, my mother enhanced her SAT vocabulary by spending a summer with a dictionary, memorizing every word she didn't know. Her vocabulary is impressive, yet today, students have more practical tools at their disposal for mastering SAT words.
Nowadays, a variety of books, websites, and software focused on building SAT vocabulary are available?"resources that didn't exist in the past. Though improving vocabulary is less time-consuming now, it should still be a gradual process, not a last-minute endeavor.
There are two main methods to prepare for the SAT: long-term skill development and rapid test-taking strategies. Ideally, you should integrate both approaches, but building a strong foundation in vocabulary is crucial.
While short courses or seminars can teach you to navigate the test, grasping the nuances of the English language requires time. Understanding word definitions, usage, synonyms, and antonyms is best achieved through consistent practice.
Starting SAT vocabulary preparation when you begin reading is optimal. However, if this wasn’t your focus during your early reading days, it’s not too late?"unless it's a month before graduation. Strengthen your SAT vocabulary by reading quality books, noting unfamiliar words, and maintaining a vocabulary notebook.
Set a simple goal of learning two or three new words daily. Your English teacher can recommend enriching books, many of which may already be part of your curriculum. Understanding not just word definitions but also their application will aid in college admission and ease future coursework.
Numerous lists and websites boast the top SAT vocabulary words. While learning these can be helpful, be wary of relying solely on them to outsmart test creators. English instructors and professors who design the test are adept at recognizing redundancy and frequently update the test content.
It's likely that the creators avoid using popular list words to reward students for a well-rounded vocabulary rather than rote memorization.
If you feel your vocabulary needs improvement, dedicate time to developing it. Mastery requires more than memorizing a few techniques, but fortunately, flashcards and books are available to assist. Many students find that these resources significantly boost their scores.
