<p>Can I learn 2000 vocab words in one night.
I reaally really really regret not forcing myself to study vocab
is it possible to memorize 2000 words the night before and ace the sentence completion?</p>
<p>sadly, ,no, you can’t</p>
<p>As a tournament Scrabble player, it’d probably take me a month to learn 2,000 7-letter words, let alone one night.</p>
<p>If you want the best payoff with the least study, I suggest you memorize common Greek/Latin roots if you haven’t done so. So you can instantly tell what words like “cacophony” and “circumnavigation” mean without any further study.</p>
<p>Yeah just focus on root/origins/prefixes/suffixes so that way identifying a word and it’s meaning will be easier. You have little time so you should get started right away.</p>
<p>I did read the Barron’s 3500 word in a day before the exam but that was because I had already read it for two weeks before, so t’was like revision for me. This didn’t even help because although I managed to get everything in SC I missed some strategies in Passages which led to a lower score than my practice tests. I will suggest that you just read the Barron’s Hot Prospect and Frequency list, they do have like 400 common words there and practice CR so you don’t lose strategies.</p>
<p>If you learn 5 words a minute you should be able to do it. Making sentences with the words in them really helps your memory. Greek and latin roots!</p>
<p>Memorizing words for SAT is so useless.
There are usually about 19 vocab questions.
I got 2 questions wrong for all of CR, both vocab questions, and still got 800.
If you do well in school, you’ll be better off practicing other aspects of the test.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>Try the hit parade (250 most common sat words) instead.</p>
<p>Well, I’m not very smart, but for reference… I can memorize 30w/h at my very best (aka knocked up on 5+ cups of coffee). That’s like 300 words in one weekend day.</p>
<p>I know someone who’s able to memorize 150w/h. So if you’re as smart (admit it, she’s smart lol) as her, you should be able to memorize 1500 in 10. Or if you have, say, photographic memory, you might be able to memorize the whole book.</p>
<p>Since you’re so pressed on time, I’d advise that you study something else. If you already know your capability & you’re positive you can memorize your minimum goal at the very least, go ahead… but you’ll probably end up regretting your decision and doing worse than you would’ve if you’d reviewed test taking methods instead.</p>
