<p>Your scores aren’t low enough that I would suggest memorizing vocab. If you have the time and patience this summer, maybe that’s the route for you. But I find that recognizing patterns within the sentence helps me. Sometimes you can tell if a blank should be a + or - sounding word or you can use indicators such as “although or but” to decide if a word pair should be synonyms or antonyms. little things like that tend to help raise ones score. Personally it’s very hard for me to sit and memorize vocab because you may not recognize it on the test day when it is put into random context. the sentences can throw you off sometimes!</p>
