Share your SAT Vocabulary (Discussion)

lechuck said – Fri, 23 May 2008 18:57:23 -0000 ( Edit Link )

Here is a bit of a fun assignment that could help you retain all those vocab words you’re learning. Share at least 5 vocabulary words that you’ve learned while studying for the SAT. It’s a fantastic way to share and learn uncommon words that you might find on the SAT test.

I’ll start:

1. Ebullience n. the quality of lively expression of thoughts and feelings.

2. Declivity n. downward slope.

3. Sinewy adj. strong, marked by strength. The fighter had a strong, sinewy body.

4. Susurrate v. to whisper/murmur.

5. Officious adj. volunteering one’s services when they are neither asked nor needed. He is so officious that he tries to tell everyone what to do.
