Hey guys, just curious, is there any reliable tool or website where it posts 'SAT words of the day' or similar stuff? I think it'd be useful for my vocab prep.
Hello! There might not be a single trusted site that provides such a service specifically designed for the SAT. However, it's good to recognize that most 'word of the day'sites will be useful to you. Websites like Merriam-Webster and Dictionary.com have a 'word of the day' feature that you might find helpful. They not only provide the word's definition, but also its pronunciation, its origins, and an example of its use in a sentence.
You might also want to consider using vocabulary flashcards or vocabulary builder apps. They allow you to learn at your own pace, and are usually categorized by difficulty or theme which can be quite handy.
Keep in mind that SAT vocabulary prep is fairly different from the days of pure memorization. The SAT now focuses more on understanding words in context, rather than on obscure vocabulary. So while expanding your vocabulary is definitely worthwhile, remember to practice in-context understanding as well. Multiple reading books and articles can aid in this.
Good luck with your preparation!
