Prefixes
SAT vocabulary prefixes are one of the fastest ways to expand your word knowledge — because each prefix you learn appears across dozens of different words. Master thirty of them and you have a tool for decoding thousands of words you have never seen before.

These ten prefix quizzes cover thirty Latin and Greek word parts, organized into six thematic groups: negation and absence, movement and passage, position and sequence, scale and iteration, relationship and opposition, and value and agency. These are the word roots and prefixes that appear on standardized tests, in college coursework, and in professional writing — the vocabulary that separates strong readers from everyone else.
Each vocabulary quiz introduces five word parts and asks ten questions. The questions begin with direct meaning recognition, move through familiar words in context, and finish with SAT-level vocabulary where you apply prefix knowledge to words you may never have seen. After the six topic quizzes, four review quizzes spiral back through the material in new combinations — the final one with no hints at all.
By the end of this prefix quiz series, you will be able to look at an unfamiliar word, identify its prefix, and make a confident, reasoned guess at its meaning — the same skill strong readers use every time they encounter a word they have not seen before.
