App Features

- Flashcards -

Hundreds of easy-to-use flashcards feature the most widely tested words and definitions. Once you know the word, you can save in a separate stack, so you can focus on building your vocabulary with new words. BONUS: Our flashcards feature an option where you can study the prefixes, roots, and suffixes – everything from anti- to vid.

- Test Yourself -

Four, real-world practice tests give you a feel for what to expect on the test. The customizable practice tests offer 25 questions each and illustrate the meaning of words by placing them in the context of a sentence—usually through humorous stories. The ability to flag questions and then review only those questions gives you practice on what you need the most. Plus, detailed explanations are provided for each correct answer. Automatic scoring at the end of each test lets you easily track your progress. And you can review all the answers at the end of each test or just the ones where you got the answer wrong. An exclusive Genius Test with 50 questions challenges even the most gifted vocabulary student.

- Word Lookup -

A comprehensive, alphabetical listing of the most common words found on the SAT gives you an opportunity to review words at your own pace. Search for a word with ease. Complete with definition and handy “rhymes with” tips for pronouncing tough words, you’ll have a superfluous (excessive) vocabulary and you may even be sanguine (cheerful or optimistic) about the test.

- Extras -
