11. Introduction. This word list
was created to help students
study and excel on the SAT,
in the classroom, and in real
life. This list was compiled
from many resources
including past SATs, famous
literary works, and general
words that I feel other
students could benefit from
knowing. This list was
created by a high school
student, for other high
school students, as well as
English teachers wishing to
help students learn new
words.
Ways to Learn the Words.
There is no “right way” to
learn these words. Try many
things, and do what works
for you. Flash cards might
help some students, as
repeating the words in a
sentence might help
another. Experiment with
new learning methods, and
find what is right for you.
Examples that I have utilized
was learning word roots (for
example “de” means not,
and “funct” means to work,
so it can be inferred that the
word defunct means not
able to work). Another idea
is using the word in real life
conversation, which helped
me a lot when I had to learn
words such as loquacious,
which means talkative, and
can easily be put into
normal conversation.
Another idea is to learn the
words in groups of similar
meaning, such as “palpable”
and “tangible,” which both
mean “able to be touched.”
Study Plan. I’ve attached a
schedule of 40 weeks, to
learn 720 words, comprised
into sections of 9 words
each. However, you can
choose to learn all of these
at a different pace, and in a
different order (I provided
you with a completely
randomized itinerary,
learning 2 sets of 9 words
each week, for an average
of 4 words a day – very
manageable.)
Learn in any way you would
like to! Also, attached in a
separate document, I’ve
comprised tests after one
has finished this program.
Best of luck, and thanks for
viewing!
