SAT Vocab

This was my way to learn vocab, and I did pretty well on the CR. (740)

Each day of homeroom before the teacher came in, I picked out two interesting words and wrote them in a corner of the board as “words of the day” with definitions. You may think your classmates would mock you - you would be correct.

However, what ended up happening was that in mocking me, they used the words in sentences. Each day, some smart ass in the back would read one of the words out loud, and soon some of the kids would be using them in weird sentences all day, so tons of unfamiliar words stuck in my head as being associated with something funny, and I actually remembered (like still know them now) about half of the words.

Good luck!
