SAT Vocabulary Flashcards
Printable SAT vocabulary flashcards covering all 249 words from our SAT series. Print single-sided, cut out the cards, and fold on the dashed line for ready-to-use, two-sided study cards — word on one side, definition on the back. The printable PDF is a Full Member resource.
How to Use These Flashcards
- Print single-sided. The PDF has eight cards per page — print on regular paper or cardstock.
- Cut out each card along the solid border lines.
- Fold on the dashed center line. The word ends up on one side and the definition on the other, giving you a real two-sided flashcard from a one-sided print.
- Quiz yourself. Read the word, recall the meaning, then flip to check — or go definition-first to practice recognition.
What’s Included
All 249 words from the InstructorWeb SAT vocabulary series, each with its part of speech and a clear, student-friendly definition. Want the words as a single reference sheet instead? See the Complete SAT Vocabulary Word List.
How to Study with Flashcards
- Use active recall. Always try to produce the meaning before you flip the card — the effort of retrieving it is what builds memory.
- Space it out. Review a small stack daily rather than cramming; revisit missed words more often (a simple three-pile “know / unsure / don’t know” system works well).
- Work in both directions. Word → definition builds recognition for reading passages; definition → word builds the precise vocabulary you need for sentence-completion questions.
- Make it stick. Say each new word in a sentence of your own — words you use are words you remember.
