SAT Vocabulary Practice For Dummies

iOS Universal

The SAT Vocabulary Practice For Dummies App focuses exclusively on the vocabulary you need to know to get a good verbal score on the SAT exam. You’ll quickly increase your vocabulary with flashcards, practice tests, word lookup, and fun ways to incorporate new vocabulary into your daily routine, such as getting out of gym class or chores, placating an irate parent, refusing a date, bamboozling a traffic officer, or leaving a legacy in your yearbook. This app features proven study methods, such as making associations, repetition, and paying attention to prefixes, suffixes, and roots of words. Regardless of how strong or weak your vocabulary currently is, SAT Vocabulary Practice For Dummies App will build your vocabulary and boost your test scores.

App Features

- Flashcards -

Hundreds of easy-to-use flashcards feature the most widely tested words and definitions. Once you know the word, you can save in a separate stack, so you can focus on building your vocabulary with new words. BONUS: Our flashcards feature an option where you can study the prefixes, roots, and suffixes, most commonly used – everything from anti, to vid.

- Test Yourself -

Four, real-world practice tests give you a feel for what to expect on the test. The practice tests illustrate the meaning of words by placing them in the context of a sentence—usually through humorous stories. The ability to mark and then review only marked questions, gives you practice on what you need the most. Plus, explanations provided for each answer. Automatic scoring at the end of each test tells you your percentage score for that test. And you can review all the answers at the end of each test or just the ones where you got the answer wrong. An exclusive Genius Test challenges even the most gifted vocabulary student.

- Word Lookup -

A comprehensive, alphabetical listing of the most common words found on the SAT gives you an opportunity to review words at your own pace. Prefer to search for a word, no problem, the handy search feature finds the word you need quickly and easily. Complete with definition and handy “rhymes with” tips for pronouncing tough words, you’ll have a superfluous (excessive) vocabulary and you may even be sanguine (cheerful or optimistic) about the test.
