Questions
Is VocabBoost free?
Yes. Every word page, list and flashcard deck is free to use.
Do I need an account?
No. Open the practice page and start. Your progress (which words you know and which you're still learning) is saved in your own browser, on your device.
Does the Digital SAT still test vocabulary?
Yes, in context. The Reading and Writing section includes “Words in Context” questions that ask for the most logical and precise word in a short passage. Knowing what academic words mean, and how they're used, helps directly.
What about the GRE and LSAT?
GRE Verbal Reasoning uses vocabulary heavily in Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence questions. The LSAT doesn't test vocabulary directly, but its questions use precise argument terms like premise, assumption and sufficient condition, which our LSAT list explains.
