One great way to up your SAT Critical Reading score is to enhance your vocabulary. In fact, improving your vocabulary won’t just help you succeed on standardized tests; it’ll also help you write and speak more clearly. We advise: Start early! If the task of learning lots of new words seems daunting, keep in mind that: (1) learning even one new word each day will make a significant difference, and (2) the SAT tests certain words repeatedly. Here are a few tips for expanding your vocabulary: (1) Look up any unfamiliar words that you encounter as you read. (2) Make flashcards. (3) Use mnemonics—memory tricks to help you remember definitions. (4) Learn words in groups. For instance, these words all relate to improvement: beneficial (producing a favorable result), curative (able to heal or cure), and therapeutic (having healing powers).
