REAL WORDS
The words featured on this Substack platform are here because they have all been correct answers on SAT vocabulary in context questions. There are NO superfluous questions!
REAL EXAMPLES
Each post uses a REAL SAT example to illustrate each word. There are NO artificial or overly simplistic examples.
REAL HITS!
Our words generated 17 Direct Hits on the August 22, 2026 SAT. Because the College Board regularly recycles questions we had a number of very specific REAL HITS. For example, our NOMINAL, INCONGROUS, and EXORBITANT posts closely matched the exact SAT questions. As a result, my students and Substack subscribers easily answered these questions!
LOOKING AHEAD
I am currently revising my lists of High-Frequency, Double Trouble, and One Hit Wonder words to incorporate information learned from the August 22, 2026 SAT. As always, the Krieger Defense Forces are prepared to help students shoot down the challenging SAT vocabulary questions. Thank you for your support and stay tuned!
