GRE / SAT Vocabulary Builder

The GRE and SAT Vocabulary Builder helps you learn high-frequency academic words through curated word lists, definitions, etymology roots, synonyms and example sentences in context. Knowing a word's root and seeing it used in a sentence makes it far easier to remember than memorising a bare definition.

To use it, look up a word or work through a list, and study the definition together with its root, a synonym and an example sentence. Say the word, use it in a sentence of your own, and revisit it a few days later: vocabulary sticks through repeated, spaced encounters, not through reading a list once. Grouping words by root, such as words built on the same Latin or Greek base, also lets one root unlock several related words.

Focus on words you can actually use. In an essay or an exam answer, a word used correctly in a simple sentence scores better than an impressive word used wrongly, so practise each new word in context before relying on it. Keep a personal list of words you keep forgetting and return to those first, since they are the ones most likely to cost marks.

One honest limitation: the lists are curated high-frequency words, not a complete dictionary and not a prediction of any particular exam. A test may include words outside these lists, so use the builder to strengthen your core academic vocabulary, and keep reading widely alongside it for words no list can cover.
