How to Build Vocabulary

In order to build a bigger and larger and more impressive vocabulary, is not about memorizing long lists of words. The best way to build a vocabulary is to read and use the words in real situations so that they stick in the mind. This takes more time, but a very impressive vocabulary can be built up, which will help significantly with SAT scores.
 
Reading for Vocabulary
This is the basic way to increase vocabulary to get a better SAT score. This is, however, only one way that should be employed by students who want a richer vocabulary. 
 
Vocabulary Flash Cards
The other way to help increase a vocabulary is to use flash cards with words on one side and their definition and sample usage on the other side. The words should come from the SAT related word lists. Also, it is a good idea to only do 15 to 25 cards at a time to get the most benefit. 
 
It is important to realize that increasing a vocabulary isn't something that can be done all at once. However, building a vocabulary over time is very possible and can go a long way in helping someone achieve a higher score on the SAT.
