SAT VOCABULARYPART 2
The new SAT’s Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Test assesses your knowledge of
college-level vocabulary—the kinds of words that you will need to know in order to
understand academic writing about many different subjects. The vocabulary tested on the
new SAT includes words that you are likely to see and use frequently in college courses, as
well as words that have different meanings in different contexts.
Building your college-level vocabulary now will not only help you increase your score on
the SAT, but also help you in your future studies. In this part, we’ve included a list of 250
college-level words, as well as lists of common word parts to help you learn new vocabulary.
WORD ROOTS, PREFIXES, AND SUFFIXES
Many words can be broken into basic parts. Roots carry the basic meaning of a word,
prefixes come before roots and alter their meaning, and suffixes come after roots and alter
either their meaning or their part of speech. Because English is related to French, German,
Spanish, Latin, and Greek, many of these word parts will look familiar if you speak one of
those languages.
The lists below contain some of the most common roots, prefixes, and suffixes that make
up English words. Start learning these basic parts to help you break down unfamiliar
vocabulary and speed up your vocabulary building process for the SAT.

ag, act do action, activity, agent
ambul walk, move ambulance, ambulatory, amble
