The Digital SAT does not ask you to define words. It tests vocabulary through Words in Context questions: a short passage with a blank, and four words that all half-fit. That is why every word page here shows the word inside a real passage from our Reading & Writing question bank, not just in a definition — knowing a word well enough to recognise it is not the same as knowing it well enough to choose it over a near-synonym.
Each page carries the pronunciation, the English definition, the Chinese meaning, an example sentence with its Chinese translation, the word’s synonyms and antonyms, a memory aid where one exists, and two practice questions with the answers shown.
Several hundred of these words also appear somewhere in our Reading & Writing question bank, and those pages quote the sentence they appear in.
The session begins at the first word of that level. Use Previous and Next to move through it, and Mark as Mastered to keep score.
Organised by how the SAT actually uses them, not by obscurity.
Foundation vocabulary — words that rarely appear as the tested blank themselves, but which show up constantly in the passages and in the answer choices. If these are shaky, every other question type gets harder.
Words that appear regularly as Words in Context answer choices. Most are recognisable in isolation; the work is knowing them precisely enough to choose between two that both look plausible.
The upper band: words that carry a specific shade of meaning the test relies on. These are what separate a correct Words in Context answer from a defensible-looking wrong one on the harder module.
Yes, but not as isolated definitions. Vocabulary is tested through Words in Context questions, which give you a short passage with a blank and ask which word completes it most logically and precisely. There are no analogies and no sentence-completion questions of the old kind, and memorising obscure words in a list does far less for your score than knowing ordinary academic words precisely.
2,500+ words across three levels — 1,000+ Basic, 700+ Easy and nearly 500 Difficult. Every word has its own page with a pronunciation, an English definition, a Chinese meaning, an example sentence with its translation, synonyms and antonyms, and practice questions.
Mid-frequency academic words — the vocabulary of argument and analysis, like "undermine", "nuanced", "corroborate" and "pragmatic". The tested word is almost never rare; the difficulty is in choosing between two words that both roughly fit, which is why every word page here also shows the word inside a real passage.
Yes. Every word page is free, needs no account, and carries no paywall. The SAT Prep app uses the same word bank and adds spaced repetition and progress that follows you across devices.
The other ten question types are grammar, structure, evidence and inference. All of them are free to practise here.
