<p>I'm going to take the SAT in June but my vocabulary is weak.
I find it hard to do sentence completion and some of the reading questions
Can anyone give me an advice of what vocabulary books to learn in one month to know as many sentence completion's words as possible.
Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Таke a lot at some hit lists - Barrons and PR’s are pretty good. Make sure to learn the meaning of prefixes, suffixes and roots - they may not always be able to help, but they’re a plus when you recognize something. </p>
<p>My advice would be to steer clear of long vocab lists - with a month left, it’ll be too difficult to memorize every single word.
If I were you, I’d:
-Take a look at the blank. Before looking at the answer choices, determine whether the word has a positive denotation or a negative connotation. If you can, make a prediction. I usually just put a +, -, or n (neutral) and work from there. When you look at the choices, you can eliminate answers that don’t fit.
-If you’re stuck between two choices, play devil’s advocate. Plug them into the sentence and figure out which one HAS to be right.
-DO study some prefixes, suffixes, and root words. Latin words like para-, equi-, and -vex show up often. Pylon don’t need to learn all of them, just the basic, most common ones.
-READ! This is the best advice I can possibly give. You never know what words you may come across. </p>
<p>-If you do wanna study some word definitions themselves, there’s a category in Quiz Up with many common SAT words. </p>
<p>@Someone007 & @hqureshi11 provide good advice. </p>
<p>I would add quizlet.com as well to the list of resources. </p>
