I’ve never tried this with SAT words, but you can use some sort of “cardbox” system (many Scrabble players including myself use this to practice anagramming). The main idea is very simple - you quiz yourself on a set of words, and ones that you get right are pushed further back, while ones you miss are kept high in the queue. The next day, you quiz yourself on the words that you missed yesterday, etc. This ensures that you focus on memorizing the words that you don’t know, while ones that you already know, without spending much time on ones you already do know.
