SAT Power Vocab: A Complete Guide to Vocabulary Skills and Strategies for the SAT (College Test Preparation)

The new SAT (debuted in 2016) is more language-based than the prior version, focusing on words in context instead of rote memorization. While the test has changed, a firm grasp of vocabulary remains vital to scoring well–not just on the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section, but also on the Math section. This second edition of The Princeton Review’s SAT Power Vocab has been totally overhauled with the new exam methodology in mind. It includes 350+ essential terms needed to master all sections of the exam, but its primary emphasis is on the utility of vocab in context, focusing on three main areas:

-vocabulary-in-context drills/exercises, including need-to-know terms for math

-vocabulary with multiple meanings and how to recognize and approach questions built around them

-brain games involving vocabulary and terms students will see on the SAT
