SAT vocabulary
SAT vocabulary practice
Digital SAT vocabulary shows up as words in context. You get a sentence and you pick what the word is doing there. A flash-card list is not the item.
Play a short SAT vocabulary round in the SAT prep app. The words you miss come back. This is study, not a scaled score.
A word can mean something else in another sentence. Answer from the sentence on the screen.
- Words in context
- Tone
- Short definitions from the sentence

Try these
A local report described the conditions that week. By August the reservoir was depleted, and the town limited outdoor watering to one morning a week. Readers who skipped that sentence missed the reason for the later decision. As used in the text, the word "depleted" most nearly means which choice?
nearly used up. The watering limit follows from how little water remained.
A local report described the conditions that week. After the storm the trail was arduous, and even the guides stopped twice on the short climb. Readers who skipped that sentence missed the reason for the later decision. As used in the text, the word "arduous" most nearly means which choice?
hard to travel. The extra stops show the climb was difficult, not shorter.
A local report described the conditions that week. Shade was scarce on the ridge, so the crew carried extra water for the afternoon shift. Readers who skipped that sentence missed the reason for the later decision. As used in the text, the word "scarce" most nearly means which choice?
in short supply. They carried extra water because shade was hard to find.
Questions
Does the SAT still test a vocabulary list?
The digital Reading and Writing section asks what a word means in that sentence. Practice the sentence, not a stack of definitions with no context.
Can I use this on a phone between classes?
Yes. A five-question SAT vocabulary round fits a passing period or a bus ride. It is the same SAT prep app as the math drill.
