SAT Vocabulary

The SAT is a globally recognized college admission test that lets you show colleges what you know and how well you can apply that knowledge. It tests your knowledge of reading, writing and math — subjects that are taught every day in high school classrooms.

The verbal part of the SAT exam tests a student’s vocabulary and reading comprehension. About half of the questions in the verbal section will be specifically to test vocabulary skills, but even the reading comprehension section depends heavily on the reader’s ability to figure out unfamiliar words in context. You might wonder why vocabulary skills are at such a premium in a college entrance exam.

Well, in order to perform well in college, a student must have an adequate command of the English language. They will have to be able to navigate their textbooks easily, and communicate their ideas and thoughts fluently. Students without a strong vocabulary will be at a significant disadvantage throughout their college career.

Because vocabulary is such a key component of the SAT, it is important to focus on building a strong command of the English language before taking the exam. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways. This SAT Vocabulary app will help you achieve your goal more efficiently:
