First, American high school students also attach great importance to memorizing words when preparing for the sat.
Although the SAT rarely examines vocabulary and vocabulary understanding separately, vocabulary should be the basis of the entire SAT. For example, if you want to get a high score in the SAT reading section, it must be based on understanding words; The grammar and discourse structure analysis examined in the grammar part of SAT also needs enough word reserves. Mathematics is not so strict with words, but basic professional mathematics vocabulary must be mastered. SAT writing requires students to write an article, and one of the criteria for high scores in composition is the diversity and accuracy of words.
Second, what kind of word book do you choose for the sat preparation?
The task of memorizing words should be prepared before the formal SAT class. At present, most of the students preparing for the SAT are senior one and senior two students. During this period, students' vocabulary is not very high (unless they have taken the TOEFL before taking the SAT). However, the SAT requires students to have a vocabulary of about 12000- 15000. To prepare for the SAT vocabulary, it is recommended to use Barang's SAT3500 vocabulary, which is a vocabulary book for students preparing for the SAT.
3. To what extent do the words on the back of the SAT need to be prepared?
The depth of SAT's investigation on words is not only to "recognize" words, but also to examine the meanings expressed by words in the text, and there will be many familiar words with strange meanings. This requires students to master the various meanings of each word flexibly when memorizing words. When memorizing words, we should first spell the words corresponding to Chinese, and also understand the common meanings of putting words into sentences.
Fourth, the method of memorizing words.
It has been said at the beginning of the article: there is no shortcut to memorizing words! The most efficient word memory should be highly concentrated word recitation and repeated review. Memorizing words must be adhered to and cannot be broken! There is also constant repetition. Don't be afraid to forget. This is a normal phenomenon.
If self-control is not strong enough, it is suggested to find a special teacher to help you make the corresponding study plan, and also to supervise your study progress. In short, in the process of preparing for the SAT, it is inevitable to encounter many problems and difficulties, but students must stick to themselves.
