Here's what my students have to say:

710 → 750 (+40 pts)
The practice questions were so hard if you didn't know the definitions. The definitions really stuck with me.
"Best $15 I spent on SAT prep. It took me like a month to go through the whole thing. What was really good was that it really FORCED you to memorize things. The practice questions were so hard if you didn't know the definitions. So when I forced myself through those questions the definitions really stuck with me. When I took the test again I got full bars on Craft and Structure and that alone raised my score by 40 points to a 750."
— David C., June 2024 SAT
Saw 8-9 words from the list
There were so many from the list... the vocab became the easiest part of the test for me.
"So... there were so many from the list. I remember I saw around 8-9 words on the test... so honestly the vocab became the easiest part of the test for me because I mean once you know the words you're usually good. Seriously the best thing I did before the test."
— Yujin L., August 2025 SAT
1570 (780 RW)
This one was only 432 so it felt very doable. I ended up with a 1570.
"My SAT tutor told me to get this list and I'm really glad I listened. I hated studying vocab because the lists are always sooo long and after you memorize them once you forget them anyway. But this one was only 432 so it felt very very doable and didn't take that long to study them all. The time I saved on studying vocab allowed me to get more math grinding in. I ended up with a 1570 (780RW 790M). If you're overwhelmed with vocab prep like I was, this is a good place to start imo."
— Ryan H., September 2025 SAT
640 → 720 (+80 pts)
My RW score went from 640 to 720 mostly from not blanking out when I saw vocab words.
"I followed the book's schedule from Day 1 all the way until the end, and my RW score went from 640 to 720 mostly from not blanking out when I saw vocab words. Wish I started with this instead of the massive ones I studied at first."
— Amber T., September 2025 SAT
Crammed 1 week
When I took the SAT in August there were like 4-5 vocab words I had no clue about. This time there was only one.
"I basically crammed this the week before my October test which I DO NOT recommend!!! But this list still helped a lot. When I took the SAT in August there were like 4-5 vocab words I had no clue about. This time I think there was only one I didn't know. Not perfect but way better. If you actually give yourself time to study it properly you'll probably do even better than me."

Does vocabulary even matter on the Digital SAT?

It matters immensely.

I have taught the SAT professionally for 20 years.

And I've seen this time and time again: equipping students with the right list and helping them memorize the right words has the potential to dramatically improve their scores

The Digital SAT has a ruthless scoring system.

  • You can get punished by 20 to 40 points just by getting ONE question wrong
  • Sometimes even up to 50 points* (Don't believe me? Try it on Bluebook yourself!)

So, if you're getting 2 - 3 vocabulary questions wrong, that's 30 - 60 points at LEAST.

Memorizing a curated vocabulary list is the single most efficient way to raise your scores.

That's why I tell my students to prioritize vocabulary.

That's how I've helped so many students cross that coveted 1500 mark.

*Please note: The higher your scores, the more you're punished for an additional wrong answer. For example, getting 1 wrong vs 0 wrong can result in differences up to 50 points. Getting 11 wrong vs 10 wrong might be a smaller difference, maybe around 10 points. Yes, we think it's very strange as well!
