new sat vocabulary <\/h2>\n

think vocabulary is dead on the new sat? well, think again! vocabulary is still part of the test, only know it\u2019s a slightly different breed and goes under the annoying title \u201chigh-utility academic words\u201d (what\u2019s with the college board and titles\u2014\u201cheart of algebra\u201d, really?). <\/p>\n

what you have to know with high-utility academic words<\/strong> is that you already sort of, kinda know them. or at least you\u2019ve heard of them, but you might not be able to notice if they are being used slightly incorrectly, let alone be able to comfortably use them in a sentence. they are words that you\u2019ll encounter throughout college and so you are actually better off knowing exactly what they mean, unlike, say the word perfidious (which i\u2019ve yet to hear anybody outside of an sat classroom utter). <\/p>\n

imply<\/strong> \u2013 to not state something exactly<\/p>\n

sometimes people confuse this word with infer, which means to conclude something without having all the facts. imply, on the other hand, means to not state directly. let\u2019s say you have been wearing the same clothes for two days in a row. a blunt friend might say, \u201cyo, take a shower!\u201d. most are more tactful and won\u2019t tell you directly but will imply that you should probably change your clothes: \u201chey, i wonder what i\u2019m going to wear tomorrow\u2026what about you?\u201d.<\/p>\n

maintain<\/strong> \u2013 assert<\/p>\n

when you hear this word, you might think of maintenance, as in you need to maintain that six-pack bro, so lay off the pizza. but the maintain the sat cares about means to assert. so if you maintain that the internet seems to know your every move, posting ads for the very thing that you wanted to buy, you are using maintain in an sat sense (now close that browser!). <\/p>\n

context<\/strong> \u2013 surrounding text; circumstances that form the backdrop for a situation<\/p>\n

context is everything. if you say, \u201cyou are totally crazy\u201d, you might mean your friend is silly, somewhat amusing, or plain nuts. so if you are friend is dancing like a monkey because they are bored, you\u2019ll find that either of the first two apply. if your friend, during a trip to the zoo, actually tries to sneak into monkey cage to do the monkey dance, then \u201cyou are totally crazy\u201d has a different context. and your friend should probably get out of the monkey cage asap. <\/p>\n

conceive<\/strong> \u2013 to think up an idea <\/p>\n

you might think of making babies, but the sat doesn\u2019t care about that kind of conceive. to conceive means to think up or imagine. can you conceive of a world in which you don\u2019t have to study for tests (sat be damned!) and you can come home whenever you want? it\u2019s called adulthood. though i\u2019m sure from your conception (noun form of conceive) of what it means to be an adult such a life isn\u2019t free of worries. especially, once the first definition happens and you have your own little kiddos running around. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
