Flash Card Components
Part of Speech: Identifying the part of speech is essential tounderstanding the word. This is especially true for words thatserve as more than one part of speech, such as dispute. The worddispute can be a verb (“he disputed the results”) or a noun (“Ihad a dispute with my teacher”).
Definition: Each word is defined as it is most commonly usedon the SAT. For example, the word apt is usually used to refer tolikelihood (“he was apt to get angry”); however, on the SAT, theword apt most often refers t o a person’s intelligence (“he wasan apt student”). Therefore, the flash card definition reflects the
common usage on the test.
Sentence: The word is used in a sentence to illustrate andclarify its meaning and usage. Some sentences usespecific words and names as memory devices.
Word Comprehension
The word that completes a Sentence Completion blank is alwaysa perfect fit. Not only does the correct answer look right andsound right, but it also has a definition that perfectly mesheswith the context of the sentence.

the definitions. Try these other study methods:
1. Write out the words and their definitions.
Transferring the words and their definitions to paper helps
transfer the information into your long-term memory.
2. Write new sentences for each word.Similarly, using the word in context helps cement its meaning.
3. Draw a picture representing the word.
Pictures can create a connection to the definition.
4. Read the word aloud and say it in a sentence.
Some students learn best by hearing information rather
than by seeing it.
