it\u2019s too bad that you\u2019re not allowed to eat during the sat, right? okay, so maybe four hours isn\u2019t exactly an eternity to go without food, especially when you can (and should) have a little snack during the breaks<\/a>, but it\u2019d be nice to have a more relaxed atmosphere like that.<\/p>\n

anyway, if you\u2019re hungry, you might start seeing food everywhere\u2014including in the vocabulary the test throws at you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

kudos<\/h2>\n

the food:<\/i> kudos is a brand of granola bar that likes to wear candy bar clothes. by that, i mean that they\u2019re covered in chocolate, m&m\u2019s, and peanuts, depending on the kind you get. my mom used to put these in my lunch as a \u201cdessert,\u201d and i always felt a bit cheated. granola in a candy bar? pshh.<\/p>\n

the sat word: <\/i>kudos is praise. if you\u2019ve heard it, it was probably used as an exclamation to mean the same thing as \u201ccongrats.\u201d it can also be used in sentences, though.<\/p>\n

the mnemonic: <\/i>after his promotion, he got a lot of kudos <\/i>from his coworkers in the form of kudos<\/i> bars.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

relish<\/h2>\n

the food:<\/i> no need for an introduction. even if you\u2019re not a relish user, you have to admit that it really makes a nice array of colors<\/a> along with ketchup and mustard. (also, can we talk about how weird it is that amazon sells hot dog condiments?)<\/p>\n

the sat word:<\/i> if you do something \u201cwith relish,\u201d then you\u2019re really enjoying yourself while you do it. it\u2019s also a verb\u2014to relish\u2014meaning pretty much the same thing: to enjoy doing something. so if i say \u201ci took the first sip of my hot chocolate with relish,\u201d i don\u2019t mean that i\u2019m putting pickle sauce into my swiss miss.<\/p>\n

the mnemonic:<\/i> i never relish<\/i> hot dogs as much as i do when they\u2019re topped with relish.<\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/i>canny<\/h2>\n

the food:<\/i> i don\u2019t actually mean that cans are food, clearly. but they hold food. close enough.<\/p>\n

the sat word:<\/i> you could tie this one in with prudent from our old-people mnemonics<\/a>, if you wanted. canny also means cautious and, at times, cheap. a canny shopper never spends more than they should. but you can also be a canny test-taker if you follow the right sat strategies at the right times.<\/p>\n

the mnemonic: <\/i>doomsayers thought they were being canny<\/i> as they stocked up on cans<\/i> in december of 2012.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

sure, these may not be the most common sat words<\/a>, but hopefully the mnemonics help you remember a little more than your typical sat vocabulary flashcards<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
