1000 SAT words and definitions: vocabulary study reference

Why a word list is only the first step

Words in Context questions ask for the sense a word takes in one sentence. A list gives you one short definition, so the familiar meaning can become the wrong answer. Here is an original SAT-style example written for this guide.

Turn the list into practice on The Test Advantage

Study a short set of words, then open an English bank in the Digital SAT question bank. Answers and explanations appear after you submit. For each Words in Context miss, note the word, the sense the sentence needed and the clue you skipped. Add those words to your next review set.
