The Word Lists section is a division of the words into groups of 25 words which are then

grouped into 65 lessons. These words are listed in descending order of appearance on past

SAT/PSAT tests. Those words which appeared most often on past tests, some as many as twelve

and thirteen times, appear in the first lessons, while those that appeared only once are listed in

the last lessons. If all lessons cannot be covered, then the first fifteen should be emphasized

since they contain the words that appear multiple times on past SAT/PSAT tests.

The division of the words into 65 lessons makes it easy for teachers to divided the lessons among

different grade levels so that through a course of four or five years the students can be exposed to

all the words.

Another usefulness of the lists lies in the advantage of being able to give the students one sheet

of paper that contains all the words that will be covered in one six weeks period of time.

And effective manner of using this list in the classroom is to challenge students to find these

words in print … in their assigned reading or in their leisure reading. They should copy the

sentence from the text, underline the word, and name the source of the material. This helps to

reinforce the importance of learning the words when the students see them in places other than

on the SAT/PSAT tests.
