The SAT test places more emphasis on young students’ ability to think independently, be rational, calm, and not follow the crowd. The Chinese college entrance examination focuses on the knowledge in textbooks

SAT preparation preparation

Vocabulary (required)

The amount of SAT vocabulary has a great impact on the SAT test scores, but the SAT vocabulary size is not directly proportional to the SAT test scores.

Vocabulary requirements for each subject

Writing: Focus on written vocabulary

Mathematics: Understand and be accurate in math-related vocabulary

Grammar: mainly requires sentence structure and grammatical phenomena

Reading: Focus on the understanding of professional knowledge and need to master a lot of professional vocabulary

How to improve vocabulary

1. Use your spare time to memorize words

We often memorize words at a specific time but often cannot concentrate on the whole process. In order to follow the natural process of reciting words well, we can use scattered time every day to memorize words. For example, carry a small notebook with you and take it in your spare time. Come out and see

2. Stay for no more than 5-10 seconds on each word

Repeat more to reduce the time spent on each word

3. The combination of vision and hearing

The effect of memorizing words by just reading books is not that obvious, but memorizing words through books and the pronunciation of words will make your memory deeper.

4. Review vocabulary in a 10-15 day cycle

We often memorize the following words but forget the previous ones. The best way is to strengthen the words we have already seen and repeat them before the memory fades. The decline period of memory is only 10-15 days.

5. Avoid memorizing the spelling of words

Memorizing the spelling of words will only increase the workload on the brain, and the time for memorizing words will naturally be lengthened.

6. Memorize words without memorizing them

If we have to memorize many words a day, the best way is definitely not to memorize them by rote, but to deepen the impression through repetition, because these words will be strengthened and become stronger and stronger in our cerebral cortex after repeated repetitions.

Main content related materials

Laying the foundation: junior high school, high school, CET-4, CET-6 vocabulary books

Advanced vocabulary: TOEFL "SAT Red Book" and other SAT vocabulary books

Special Vocabulary: "Memory of Unusual Meanings", "SAT Core Vocabulary 2700"

Important and difficult points

Forgetting: need to review timely and continuously

Practical understanding: application of articles, intensive reading of real questions, reading of texts in English

A lot of reading (mainly: grammar, reading)

If the TOEFL test is for those who can listen, then the new SAT test is for those who can read.

Reading accounts for the largest proportion of the total score in the SAT, and most prestigious universities in the United States have a minimum requirement for this section, so reading is the most important part of the SAT.

The reading content covers a wide range of topics, covering almost all text types and topics, including popular science analysis, American history, natural science, etc.

We usually need to increase the amount of accumulated reading in order to quickly construct the overall framework of the article and express the meaning in the SAT reading test without being tricked by the examiner.

Reading books

Novels: "The Joy Luck Club", "Beloved", "Jane Eyre", "The Scarlet Letter", "The Age of Innocence", "A Room with a View"

Historical Politics: "Reflections on the French Revolution", "Leviathan", "In Defense of Women's Rights"

Science: TBD
