VOCABULARY MATTERS: Developing your child's vocabulary can have a significant impact on his or her SAT score. About 1/3 of the SAT Reading section is made up of questions that are explicitly vocabulary-dependent—questions that are potentially worth 150 points in all. So, a better knowledge of vocabulary is a concrete way to improve test scores. Furthermore, an increased vocabulary makes your child a better reader, writer and interpreter of information. Often, the only thing that makes a test question hard for a student is its vocabulary. Compare the two questions below:

Dave was in a ------- mood; he was smiling and cheerful all day long.
(A) happy
(B) angry
(C) sad
(D) smart
(E) cold

Dave was in a ------- mood; he was smiling and cheerful all day long.
(A) sanguine
(B) bilious
(C) disconsolate 
(D) perspicacious
(E) boreal

Neither question is hard--IF YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORDS MEAN!
