Practice using these words in context, not just memorizing definitions. The SAT rarely asks "what does X mean?" directly. It hides the question inside a sentence, so recognizing tone and usage matters as much as the definition itself.
Remember: The SAT tests the same words, over and over. Knowing the high-frequency list isn't just helpful, it's one of the highest-return investments you can make before test day.
Pro Tip: Focus on secondary definitions of common words. "Checked" can mean restrained. "Novel" can mean new. Don't let familiarity fool you.
