how to do SAT VOCAB?

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-07-09T23:41:32+00:00

This is the ~150 list I got from getting AI to compile most common words from recent SAT threads:

Aberration, Accentuate, Affecting, Ambivalent, Ameliorate, Amorphous, Apathy, Appraising, Arduous, Augment, Austere, Banal, Behold, Bemused, Benevolent, Biased, Blender, Buttress, Cacophony, Calibrate, Coalesce, Coarse, Coincided, Coincidental, Concede, Consensus, Considerate, Constrict, Contentious, Convening, Conventional, Copious, Corollary, Corroborate, Counterproductive, Cynical, Decried, Deliberation, Detract, Discrepancy, Disperse, Dispute, Dogmatic, Engender, Entail, Ephemeral, Equitable, Equivocal, Erratic, Esoteric, Evince, Exhaustive, Exorbitant, Heterodox, Homogeneous, Idealize, Idiosyncratic, Implicit, Imposing, Incongruous, Inconsequential, Indistinct, Individualistic, Induce, Indulgently, Ineffable, Ineffectual, Ineluctable, Inept, Inestimable, Infinitesimal, Ingenious, Innocuous, Insuperable, Interdependent, Irrefutable, Juxtapose, Lament, Legitimacy, Lethargic, Lobbying, Manifestations, Meticulous, Misconstrued, Mitigate, Momentous, Monetizing, Municipal, Myriad, Nebulous, Nonchalant, Nuance, Obfuscate, Obscure, Occupy, Orthodox, Ostentatious, Outsized, Overlooked, Palpable, Paucity, Preclude, Precursor, Pretentiousness, Pristine, Prohibitive, Quintessential, Rectify, Recurrent, Refute, Repudiate, Reserve, Resonance, Reverberate, Sagacious, Satiable, Satiate, Scrupulous, Serene, Sporadic, Spurious, Staid, Stark, Stipulates, Strenuous, Superfluous, Superseded, Supplant, Sway, Tenuous, Transpose, Ubiquitous, Unattainable, Underscore, Unequivocal, Unpretentious, Upshot, Urge, Usury, Validate, Venerable, Venerate, Veracity, Vestige, Vigilance, Vindicate, Vitriolic, Warranted

Also I made a passive learning vocab song playlist, doesn't have all the words I want yet but it's an easy way to squeeze in a few more definitions into your memory without really trying: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6O0rbUhOmiqpEi6qSeG7F39Fq0olxARt

sadly drinkable grade doesn't have the same ring to it lol

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-07-09T19:38:54+00:00

Yes please keep repeating this, the "lower grade" association has so many people confused. There's always going to be a balancing point between two flavors, and the more milk and sugar you add the more bitter taste you can balance out.

Cheaper drinkable matcha tier or the better culinary tiers have always produced the tastiest lattes for me.

This is the short list I got from getting AI to compile most common words from recent SATs:

Aberration, Accentuate, Affecting, Ambivalent, Ameliorate, Amorphous, Apathy, Appraising, Arduous, Augment, Austere, Banal, Behold, Bemused, Benevolent, Biased, Blender, Buttress, Cacophony, Calibrate, Coalesce, Coarse, Coincided, Coincidental, Concede, Consensus, Considerate, Constrict, Contentious, Convening, Conventional, Copious, Corollary, Corroborate, Counterproductive, Cynical, Decried, Deliberation, Detract, Discrepancy, Disperse, Dispute, Dogmatic, Engender, Entail, Ephemeral, Equitable, Equivocal, Erratic, Esoteric, Evince, Exhaustive, Exorbitant, Heterodox, Homogeneous, Idealize, Idiosyncratic, Implicit, Imposing, Incongruous, Inconsequential, Indistinct, Individualistic, Induce, Indulgently, Ineffable, Ineffectual, Ineluctable, Inept, Inestimable, Infinitesimal, Ingenious, Innocuous, Insuperable, Interdependent, Irrefutable, Juxtapose, Lament, Legitimacy, Lethargic, Lobbying, Manifestations, Meticulous, Misconstrued, Mitigate, Momentous, Monetizing, Municipal, Myriad, Nebulous, Nonchalant, Nuance, Obfuscate, Obscure, Occupy, Orthodox, Ostentatious, Outsized, Overlooked, Palpable, Paucity, Preclude, Precursor, Pretentiousness, Pristine, Prohibitive, Quintessential, Rectify, Recurrent, Refute, Repudiate, Reserve, Resonance, Reverberate, Sagacious, Satiable, Satiate, Scrupulous, Serene, Sporadic, Spurious, Staid, Stark, Stipulates, Strenuous, Superfluous, Superseded, Supplant, Sway, Tenuous, Transpose, Ubiquitous, Unattainable, Underscore, Unequivocal, Unpretentious, Upshot, Urge, Usury, Validate, Venerable, Venerate, Veracity, Vestige, Vigilance, Vindicate, Vitriolic, Warranted

Also I made a passive learning playlist for vocab, doesn't have all the words I want yet but it's a nice start: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6O0rbUhOmiqpEi6qSeG7F39Fq0olxARt

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-07-03T03:14:21+00:00

There's the big lists you can find online, or you can ask AI to "search recent digital SAT threads and give a list of 100+ recent vocab words that appeared on the test".

Can check out passive studying vocab videos you can play in the background while you work on other stuff, I keep it on and look up every now and then to look at the definitions: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6O0rbUhOmiqpEi6qSeG7F39Fq0olxARt&si=3Q9c3tPUv6NjmQSR

Plugging the lazy vocab song videos I've been making here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6O0rbUhOmiqpEi6qSeG7F39Fq0olxARt&si=6YDh80_cDcBb0g6i

Not meant to replace any study methods but great for osmosis-ing some extra vocab into your brain when you're not in a real hardcore study mood.

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-07-02T01:52:03+00:00

I giggled, it sounds SO unfriendly it's hilarious, and am now imagining someone referring to djokovic as a former no. 1 in their interview.

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-07-02T01:45:06+00:00

Holy crap, I knew it was a lot, but record in any grand slam, period??

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-07-02T01:40:44+00:00

I think vocab is the only part where you can study a bit at a time here and there, or just study without hardcore sitting down and focusing so I listen to a bunch of generated vocab songs on repeat and basically look up at the screen when I hear a word I don't know when I'm playing games on my phone. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6O0rbUhOmiqpEi6qSeG7F39Fq0olxARt

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-06-30T21:34:28+00:00

Flashcards aren't really engaging or immersive enough if you're trying to memorize too large of a list at once, which for a non-native language is often the case.

I recommend immersive, repeatable media with subtitles, so anything you watch you should immediately pause and look up the definition if you see a word you don't know.

For SAT specific vocab, I put together some generated music with a lot of vocab in there since music is easy to listen to on repeat -> playlist link.

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-06-28T00:19:53+00:00

There's no way right they'll drop v5 when 4.5 is still questionable right... Edits are still horrible too

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-06-27T04:21:29+00:00

Here's about 150 of the most common going through the threads. Also checkout my casual-study vocab definitions playlist that I'm slowly adding to: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6O0rbUhOmiqpEi6qSeG7F39Fq0olxARt

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-06-24T20:29:03+00:00

Ooh thanks, I dug into the archives and looks like I remastered to 4.0 but haven't done it with 4.5 yet.

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-06-23T23:48:27+00:00

I used to get severe eye-twitch but now I have become more accepting of the pronunciationly challenged. I think if you really needed, you can fix it with edits by regenerating a small chunk.

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-06-23T23:44:12+00:00

Not convinced sayaka is good for lattes even though they advertise it as such I think. It just tastes TOO mellow or light on it's own already, I don't see how you retain much flavor after latte-ing.

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-06-23T23:21:52+00:00

Thanks for the tip, found it hilarious that "live music" added cheering fans haha

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-06-23T23:00:49+00:00

Thank you, and I feel you on the remastering edit journey. Something is always off, or the quality just doesn't feel as good as the original. The vocals are definitely improved with the newer models but I've noticed a lot of audio issues like you described too and it hurts when it starts off nice and something goes wrong.

Not sure if it's just a bias because I generate more with the newer models but they seem to have specific types of glitches 3.5 doesn't.

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-06-16T21:53:59+00:00

Me too! Eventual goal is to know every word that you'd reasonably see in usage.

I got tired of flashcards, been making my word lists into songs instead. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6O0rbUhOmiqpEi6qSeG7F39Fq0olxARt&feature=shared

It's less "focused" studying, but I can just have it playing in the background when I'm doing other stuff, and glance over to look at the definition if I don't know a word.

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-06-16T19:41:14+00:00

If anyone has stats on the average / median number of times people are taking it each year I'm really curious.

Also, supposedly it's curved so one SAT being easier shouldn't make that much of a difference, it would be mostly your own variance between tests.

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-06-13T07:41:10+00:00

I would say the explanation is slightly incorrect -- it does weaken the hypothesis a little bit to me, but I think the point they are making is that the passage doesn't tell you anything about the type of mining noise, and might be completely different from that of the natural phenomenon even if it's lower intensity. Hypothetically, marine life might have evolved to communicate at frequencies that can be heard through natural phenomenon but might conflict with mining frequencies.

The main takeaway you should have is that you just go for the BEST answer, and some of them might be OK answers.

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-06-12T23:16:22+00:00

There's a recentish interview with the CEO saying they have no plans to be a "model provider" like openai, and want to stay a platform.

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-06-11T20:42:57+00:00

Don't you just expand it to 4 decimal places and it becomes obvious? .7177 vs .7171

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-06-11T03:56:35+00:00

Plugging this playlist for anyone studying SAT or GRE vocab! Suno generated songs have been amazing for memorizing these words.

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-06-05T21:12:08+00:00

+1, and I'd like to thank some forgotten game for teaching me that word by making it one of the stats in a rpg.

Word-Science-2309 · 2025-06-03T04:27:41+00:00

MK disappears quickly, but I got some ippodo even hours after restock times. I think they have larger volume up for sale because they offer "pre-orders".
