Vocabulary Prep for the SAT Test

Picture yourself a teenager, at home one night with a ton of homework to do. It’s late you just had dinner, you’re feeling tired, you’ve had a rough afternoon, and now you’ve got a bunch of homework to do. You grab your history book and you start reading and you got like five pages to read, you’re blowing through the text, and you come across a word that you’ve never seen before. What do you do?

What you’re supposed to do and what you’ve been taught to do since childhood is put your book down, pick up your dictionary and look up that word, maybe write a little note for yourself after you’ve learned the definition, understand the word and context, understand the passage a little bit better as a whole, and cruise on through your homework that night.

Let me guess that that’s probably not what you would really do if put in that situation. If you’re anything like I was when I was a kid, what you do is you would just skip the word and keep moving. I think the reasoning that you might use to justify that is this:

You say to yourself I’m seventeen years old, I’m a pretty well functioning young adult, I have a driver’s license, I’ve been out, I’ve traveled, I’ve gone to dinner with friends, and I’ve done a bunch of stuff. I’ve never seen this word before so how important could it possibly be? Again, I function well in society, this is a word that is probably some remote obscure history word that I’m never going to hear again for the rest of my life anyway; I’m not going to bother stopping to look this word up and even if I did have the time, it doesn’t make any kind of sense.

Let me tell you something, on a certain level I agree with you 100% because I used to do the same thing. At times when you truly are under a lot of time pressure, it may not actually make sense to stop and look up a word. You’re going to slow yourself down and you’re not going to get to all your homework. If you fall into that thinking of often skipping words because you don’t feel like taking the time because you feel like you’re smart enough and you’ve never seen this word and it’s not that important, you’re like me but do me a favor – ultimately you’re going to struggle on a test like the SAT without a really good vocabulary. You’re going to struggle like I did when I was younger. If you fall into this category, do me a favor – watch part 2 on this series of vocabulary and I want to slowly start to change your mind.

I hear Kaplan, Borran’s, and Princeton’s Review.
i dont read that much so i need a lot of help on vocabulary.
which book is the best nd most accurate for the SAT test?

this entire summer, i have spent 3 days per week going to SAT prep. tuesdays were math for 6 straight hours. thursdays were critical reading/writing for 3 straight hours. fridays were vocabulary and grammar for 4 straight hours. i have completed 10 hours of SAT prep this summer, and that was what i had signed up for. my score went up from 1800 (PSAT) to 2030 (practice SAT at the prep place). useful, yes. but theres apparently a 14 week program as well, meaning i could still sign up for it and go during all of september. i wouldn’t mind going, for the sake of the SAT test in October/November (still need to try to switch dates…). however..i have band and drumline. i have tuesday night band practice and thursday/fridays are possible football game days. i have a new band director who’s pretty hardcore and strict, and he’ll definitely lower my grade if i don’t come to those practices. plus, i don’t want to have to worry about attending SAT prep while going to school. i really have no idea what to do.
this is really urgent…i wish i posted this question up sooner….please, so any advice on what to do?
sign up for the 4 weeks and screw up band and drumline, or set aside the 4 weeks and just go for it…
and i apologize that this is so long.

I’ve pretty much got the math down (although I want to practice more). But I would really like a book with good vocabulary and lots of hints for the verbal (CR) and writing sections. Also the same or another book with pleanty of practice. And if you have one that proved useful overall please do mention it. Thanks ahead of time.

I decided not to go to SAT prep courses because I think I would learn more by studying straight from books myself. So I was wondering which books should I buy to study for the SAT? Should I buy from Kaplan, Princeton Review, College Board, or some other brand? If so, which specific books should I buy? Also, to study on the vocabulary, how should I study on them, using flash cards and where do I exactly buy them? Other things about studying for the SAT would be helpful too.

People, even Collegeboard and other SAT preparation corporations, say reading builds one’s vocabulary. K so i’m actively reading a book and i come across a word i don’t know; do I continue reading or look it up? because looking up words you don’t know will take a longer time to finish the book and chances are you might forget the word.

so question is read or look it up?

Im just curious. Is it really hard the first time around? or are they just exaggerating, imagine alot of books, CD’s, vocabulary guides, preparation schools in the market right now. Internet is full of SAT stuffs.

I am wondering what test prep book I should get for SAT I. I know College Board has its own book for SAT I, but it seems a bit outdated, if that matters or not. There are many others out there, so there is a wide range to choose from.

Also, I may need to work on my SAT I Vocabulary. It would be great to get a book that includes all parts in detail so that I don’t have to "juggle" between different guides, but I will not mind if necessary.
What’s the ISBN number for the SAT Lesson Book (Kaplan)?
Nevermind. I found the ISBN number.

One aspect that bugs me is that if I use CollegeBoard’s book, I am afraid that the guide will be biased as CollegeBoard is the one who administers the paid tests, disadvantaging the student? Are my fears ridiculous?

I have my SAT1 test after 1 week. I am worried about critical reading portion as my vocabulary is not that good.
I have got Barron’s SAT preparation book. They have got a 3,500 word list ….. do i have to learn all those …. If yes then How?
I never appeared for SAT before and i never gave PSAT aswell so i am really worried.
Please give some helpful tips and Preparation guideline.

I’m taking the SAT in March and the one in June, and my English teacher told me the best way to prepare for it was to read read read. So I’m asking you guys which books are good for SAT preparation.

I took the PSAT a few months ago and my score was average, but my weakest area was the reading. So I would really appreciate if you could recommend me some good fiction books that help build vocabulary and the like. (btw, my teacher said classics are the best, but WHICH classics is the question here)

Thank you in advance.
