NEW SAT Vocabulary Course

SAT Vocabulary curriculum is now here! We have uploaded today the first of a series of SAT Vocabulary Words courses. The most frequently used words are in this first course. We suggest for advanced students that they start reviewing these words while in middle school.

The list of words to review will ultimately be over 5000 words. We introduce 5 new words at a time in this course. If the student already knows a word well they should rate it as being well know the very first time they see it in a question, or they should suppress the fact altogether.

We are delighted to provide this tool to help raise your child's SAT score by 100 points or more, while equipping them with a rich vocabulary they can carry into adulthood.

We advise that the student do a google article search on new words that they do not know, and that they read at least a sentence or two of the article that includes that new word. It is really fun to see a word that you are learning listed in an article in today's paper somewhere in the world. For example, searching boisterous today in google news produces:



Reading each new word in three or four articles will help ground that word and its usage for the student. Have fun growing your vocabulary!
