<p>So beside DH ofc, these words gave me great help getting 18/19 in the SC in June international SAT. Many of them were in the test. Some of the meanings are not very accurate, so feel free to look them up on any online dictionary before studying them.
Enjoy. I hope this would help you in any upcoming SAT.</p>
