There’s no complete mastery. Or, differently put, it would take you years to develop a complete mastery. You know, delving in etymology and memorizing and reading.

On the other hand, most SAT-takers, memorize concentrated lists of frequently appearing words like Barron’s 3500, Grubber’s 3400, Testmasters’ 2200, Sparknotes’ 1000 or whatever. They use mnemonics, grouping ,etc to memorize them. Personally I simply “master” them by rote.
