Free SAT Vocabulary Flashcards
Study for Free with Manhattan Review's SAT Vocabulary Flashcards
Manhattan Review has found over many years of working with students preparing for the SAT that a lot of them have trouble with vocabulary words for the exam. Our instructors created Vocabulary flashcards for them in response as a proven and effective study aid. We are now offering them online for free in a digital, interactive format, using vocabulary words that we found occurred frequently when we analyzed past SATs.
When you begin using the flashcards, you first go through them once, and the tool remembers which vocabulary words you knew and didn't know, as well as the ones you were unsure about, helping find the areas you need to improve. In one of the tool's most helpful features, it then continues to show you the words you didn't know until you've mastered all the words in a set.
We designed our digital flashcards with an innovative color-coded system that makes following your progress simple. The vocabulary words appear in 50-word "decks," which are themselves grouped together in Essential, Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced categories. When studying with the flashcards, you'll see all four categories at the top of the page, showing how much of each you've completed and how much you have left to go.
Check out the example below. The dark blue section in this Essential category indicates the student has mastered three of its 10 decks. The light blue shows they're currently working on three other decks in this category, and they've haven't begun the four in white yet.
A detailed overview of the decks appears under the Categories progress summary, arranged by category. Each deck's 50-word progress bar is gray when you start it. In your first pass through, you'll see each word once, and if you know it, it's put in the green section of the bar. Any words you don't know go in the red section. The Essential 1 example below shows the student knew 12 words, didn't know 24, and had yet to see the 14 other words that are still in gray.
When you've seen all 50 words in a deck once, the flashcards will begin to show you the words you didn't know again to find out if you've learned them. If you have, it goes into the progress bar's yellow section. In the Essential 1 sample below, the student has mastered 20 words, and has learned 15 words in yellow that they didn't know the first time around. The student either hasn't seen the 15 in red for a second time, or did, but still hadn't learned them. Any words you didn't know initially will be shown to you again at least twice more. The first time you demonstrate you've learned the word, it goes from the red section to yellow. If you show you still know it a second time, it shifts from yellow to green, meaning full mastery. Memorizing and retaining vocabulary word meanings is aided by this type of learning reinforcement.
