SSAT Pro Tip
On synonym questions, pay attention to intensity levels. "Elated" and "pleased" are both positive, but they're not interchangeable. The SSAT often tests these subtle differences!
Smart Flashcard System
Our spaced repetition algorithm shows you words right before you forget them, maximizing retention with minimum study time.
Spaced Repetition
Our algorithm tracks your memory strength for each word and schedules reviews at optimal intervals to maximize long-term retention.
Progress Tracking
See exactly how many words you've mastered, which ones need more practice, and your overall vocabulary growth over time.
Study Anywhere

The 5-Step Vocabulary Method
Our scientifically-backed approach combines multiple learning techniques to help you build a powerful SSAT vocabulary efficiently.
Start with Etymology
Learn the root, prefix, and suffix of each word. Understanding word origins helps you decode unfamiliar words on test day.
Pro Tip: Focus on the 100 most common Latin and Greek roots first.
Group by Meaning
Study synonyms together to understand subtle differences. This is exactly what SSAT synonym questions test.
Pro Tip: Create your own synonym clusters for words you encounter.
Context is King
See each word in multiple contexts: literature, news, and everyday conversation. This builds true understanding.
Pro Tip: Read challenging texts daily to see vocabulary in action.
Active Recall
Use flashcards with spaced repetition. Testing yourself is more effective than passive review.
Pro Tip: Review words right before you forget them for maximum retention.
Apply & Practice
Use new words in your own writing and speech. Active usage cements vocabulary in long-term memory.
Pro Tip: Try to use 3 new vocabulary words in conversation each day.
