Tips for Word Knowledge
- Learn common prefixes, suffixes and roots (for example "bene-" means good, "mal-" means bad).
- When the word appears in a sentence, use the context to decide whether it is positive or negative.
- Eliminate choices that are opposites of the word or that only sound similar.
- Read every day. Short daily vocabulary practice beats cramming.
