2.7 SAT Critical Reading - Building Vocabulary
Building Vocabulary: As I suggested within the SAT sentence completion section, building vocabulary is essential. I have found that more and more correct answer choices, within the reading based passages, require a sophisticated vocabulary. For instance, you may have the general idea of the passage and an accurate summary, but if you cannot match your accuracy to sophisticated vocabulary, then chances are you may miss the question even though you understood the passage. It's a shame but it does occur. Similarly, use this suggestion; build, build, build vocabulary! Vocabulary building is not only essential for the SAT sentence completion, but it's essential for SAT reading comprehension.
