Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!
I want to master all of the SAT words by the march test. I’m very bad at vocab. any suggestions?

Hmm, 3 months.
Well, the long-term solution is to start reading one hour a day, like just before bedtime, and reading just light fiction.
My kid got 800 on the SAT in critical reading, and all she ever read was fantasy, most often Tamora Pierce books.
I don’t think cramming lists of vocabulary words will work.
Read a lot of Nancy Drew crime stories. They contain a LOT of vocabulary and it is a more pleasant way to encounter new vocabulary than to try to memorize lists.
Perhaps you should also try reading 3-4 hours a day for the next 3 months. I am completely serious. My kid routinely reads that much each day, as well as keeping up with her schoolwork. Her social life is somewhat limited as a result, but you have a short-term goal and you might want to try this. It should positively impact your vocabulary and reading comprehension, at least to some degree.
Good luck.
Yes, go to http://www.freerice.com it’s a free site to help you learn word definitions and bonus! you earn grains of rice for poor people and it’s fun and entertaining.
A Computer Programer set it up for his son to prepare for the SAT
go to college board website create an account. They can send you a reading sat practice question every day. ( I signed up and its very useful) This shouldn’t be all the studying your doing but its nice doing a little bit everyday.
