<p>I can say that you definitely will hear many of the words that you memorize for the SAT. I had to memorize a bunch of words in 9th grade and didn’t hear them for a while, but this year I’ve started noticing my lit teacher using them all the time. I mentioned it to him and he was like, “Yeah, I know teenagers think we’re stupid, but adults are actually intelligent, educated people.” You will definitely start noticing more advanced vocabulary as you get older.</p>

<p>Latin has been a huge help for me too. A couple of the SC’s I didn’t know the actual words but got it based on the Latin derivations. And it helps not only with vocab, but with grammar - the writing sections are so easy for me after having all those grammar rules pounded into me.</p>
