| Gosh, I've memorized so many lists I don't even recall.
Anyway, imho, the very best vocab list (for me, at least) was the one I made myself after taking every practice test.
Trust me, within a few weeks I had over 1000 words.
When you finish taking a practice test, go back through the whole test and highlight/underline unknown words. Then, look them up and marry them!
I know this takes up quite some time, but it's totally worth it.
Besides, this method actually gives you the comfort that whatever you are memorizing can really be used on the SAT.
Otherwise many of those words on all those mambo jambo vocab lists out there don't even come up on the SAT. |
