Everyone wants an opportunity to make it into the best of the colleges. We all know, though, that the SAT plays a significant role in the same. When we

speak of this entrance exam, it is almost impossible that we skip the mention of the SAT vocabulary. Even though the questions on vocabulary aren’t
very direct, there are many ways these multiple-choice questions will leave you gasping for words.
The Reading section and the Writing section both take vocabulary into account. While there are no direct questions, indirectly, you would have to know
the meanings of several words. The good thing is that they place the word within a sentence, which helps conclude the meaning. But, that does not
help always. What helps is, knowing several words that are common in the SAT Vocabulary.
Let us jump right to 12 Common SAT Vocabulary Words that every learner should know!
