Hello everybody!
I have been getting almost or all of the passage-based questions correct in the critical reading section of the SAT correct, but I keep tripping up on a few of the vocab questions. It seems like I don’t know many of the words in the last two vocab questions of each section.
What vocab lists should I read through? I’m taking the SAT on January 24th, so it should probably be 500 words long, at the most.
Thanks!
None. Work on refining your approach in identifying the patterns presented in the questions.
There is no way you can learn and retain 500 words in 10 days, that would take at least 6 weeks to be able to comprehend them all in context. To improve your reading score, just read everything you can in the next week
What score are you aiming for? If you are confident that you can do most of the passage-based questions, you could only answer the vocab questions you know and omit the others. I could almost never get the last 1-2 vocab questions, and by answering only the ones I knew and all the passage-based questions, I got a 700 on the Nov. SAT. (I got a couple of passage-based ones wrong.)
