<p>Do you ever see a word that you don't know on the SAT. If so, how many words that you don't know do you encounter on average?</p>
<p>I got a 720 the last time I took it, and on average I would say 2-3 words per section.</p>
<p>Same as SATACT95 :)</p>
<p>SATACT95: What book did you use for vocabulary?</p>
<p>I got a 770 when I took it and I would say I don’t really know the actual meaning of nearly 40% of the words but I can infer the meaning on most of them. There are probably 6-7 words that I had no clue which translated to 2 sentence completion questions wrong for me</p>
<p>@5am6996: I got a word list from one of my mentors.</p>
<p>1 or 2 every time, and then there are usually another 3/4 that I’ve seen before but that I cant really think of the definition to.</p>
<p>There’s definitely a couple per section that I didn’t know, I generally score 700-750 CR. However, I’m positive even 800 CR’ers don’t know 100% of the words on the test.</p>
<p>The trick is to infer and cross out answers you know for sure are wrong.</p>
<p>I saw probably 10 words i did not know. I’m a avid reader though so when i read the answer choices i kind of just go with what sounds the best for that sentence. CR 800. My advice to go over 15 vocab words a day and reading Literature for 30 mins. Fitzgerald, Mary Shelly, Political treatise all that stuff. I had to read “The Prince” for AP world. That book drilled in a lot of new vocab for me.</p>
