<p>Hey guys! saturday is the next sitting so we (or maybe just me :) ) need some vocab practice! What words have you seen on actually SATs that you took- try not to include bluebook words or words from practice tests. I'll start us off</p>
<p>Picayune- Of little value or importance</p>
<p>indifferent- not caring, or indicisive</p>
<p>pragmatic - practical
(TWICE on april exam.)</p>
<p>90% of the words will never repeat. Your better off reading stuff so you know the vocab from context.</p>
<p>It would be faster and much more helpful if all of us posted ten words or so:</p>
<ol>
<li>Rancorous - \RANK o russ</li>
</ol>
<p>(adj.) - bitter, hateful</p>
<ol>
<li>Affable - \AFF a bul</li>
</ol>
<p>(adj. - friendly, easy to approach</p>
<ol>
<li>Amicable - \AM i ku bul</li>
</ol>
<p>(adj.) - friendly, agreeable</p>
<ol>
<li>Mitigate - \MIT i gayt</li>
</ol>
<p>(v.) - to soften or make milder</p>

<li>Placid - \PLAA sid</li>

<li>Enervating - \EN er VAYT ing</li>
</ol>
<p>(adj.) - weakening, tiring</p>
<ol>
<li>Ephemeral - \i FEM er il</li>
</ol>
<p>(adj.) - momentary, transient, fleeting</p>
<p>the stuff repeats. At least teh ones for the easy and medium quesitons. yOu will get a few new ones for harder ones.</p>
<p>pedantic - knowledgable
precocious - someone advanced for their age</p>
<p>The words I've listed are ones most common to me when I took the SAT several times before. It'd be best to familiarize yourself with those.</p>
