| I have a question concerning analogy. So far after studying for the SAT, it seems to be the most difficult subject. Is there anything I can study to improve my vocabulary. I'm not really having problems with the differant type of analogies or if they're nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc (being that I can just look at the answers, I usually know at least one of the words is a noun or verb...). The problem is I have absolutely no idea what the words mean, both of them. Is there anything I can study to increase my vocab or should I just pick up a dictionary and fall asleep trying to read from A to Z? Thanks! |

Don't necessarily whip your wallet out too quickly. Go to your local library. They have review books that have vocabulary lists (I made sheets of ten words at a time from a total list of 200 words I didn't know or didn't know well). Just check one out, write up your list there, or do your studying there. I kept each list in my pocket all day for 2 days, periodically looking over it when I had a free moment. In a little over a month I knew a large majority of those words reliably.
You'll very rarely know all the words in the analogy sections. There's just too many weird ones. But you will know many more AND you'll start to recognize more word roots that can help you on words you don't know. You can get like one or two wrong and still get an 800, so you don't have to know every analogy word! |
