studying SAT/college exam vocab

Does anyone know any good ways to study vocab other than just using flashcards?

You can always look here and answer the question of the day. You might be able to find some other useful info on that site. Hope this helps somewhat.

Why not using flash cards?

[shadowwolf]

It takes a while to go through 90 flash cards. Plus I want multiple ways to study.

Learning takes time. It Sounds like you want to skip the "learning part".


Another good way is to post these flash cards all round in your house. So as you walk through your house, you will be learn the vocabulary "by accident"

No but I wish there were.

I have a friend that got a 2400 on the SAT and he says that the best way to memorize vocab is through flash cards. (He also hated the vocab.) If you are too lazy to memorize all of vocab words(like me) also study roots. Most of the SAT words contain roots that give away the meaning.

Just took GRE, the way I prepared was to read a few words and write a small paragraph using them. Somehow using the words meaningfully makes you remember them correctly.
I found this as a better way to remember them rather than rote memorization.

I learned so much by watching movies, started from watching cartoons in my childhood, chatting with people in english on things like IRC was the best.
