Most students waste 150+ hours on bloated 3,000-word lists.
Be smart. Study only the 432 words that actually repeat.
The Short List's Validated Word List will save your score as well as your time.
The book also comes with a schedule you can follow—22 days, maximum 1 hour each day.
These 22 hours will help you destroy the vocabulary section on the SAT. Remember that 3,000+ lists take at least 150 hours to study completely!
By completing your vocabulary studies in 22 hours, you're effectively saving 128 hours for what will likely be an even better result.
Here's what my students have to say:
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
So, if you're getting 2 - 3 vocabulary questions wrong, that's 30 - 60 points at LEAST.
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!
We're so confident these words will appear on your test that we offer this iron-clad guarantee:
If this list doesn't help you improve your score, we'll refund every penny. No questions asked.
Why can we offer this? Because students consistently report seeing multiple words from this list on every Digital SAT administration.
The methodology works.
Either this list helps you score higher, or you get your money back. That's our commitment.
432 validated words. 128 hours saved.
