SAT Word of the Day FAQ

What is SAT Word of the Day? It’s a free resource that teaches one useful SAT-level vocabulary word each day, with definitions, examples, and practice questions.

Why focus on just one word a day? Studying a little every day builds long-term memory and keeps prep manageable—one word daily adds up to over 300 words in a year.

Are these words really on the SAT? The SAT doesn’t release an official list, but these words are chosen because they appear in college-level texts similar to SAT reading passages.

How should I study each word? Read the definition, say the word out loud, review the example sentence, and try using it in your own writing or speech.

Can I review past words? Yes, the full archive of past words is always available for review.

Is it free to use? Yes! Daily words and the archive are free. Optional premium features like quizzes, flashcards, and progress tracking may be offered.

How many words do I need to know for the SAT? There’s no set number, but knowing 500–1,000 strong academic words can make a big difference.

Does this help with tests besides the SAT? Yes, the vocabulary is also useful for the ACT, GRE, and general academic reading and writing.

How much time will it take each day? Only 5 to 10 minutes—just enough for quick daily practice.

Can I get reminders by email or text? Yes! You can sign up for daily emails or text alerts so you never miss a word.

What if I skip a day? No problem, you can catch up anytime in the archive.

Who chooses the words? Sloan Falcon carefully selects words that are both SAT-relevant and useful beyond the test.
