How to Use These Worksheets
- Print the set you want. Each matching set fits a short section of the page — print on regular paper.
- Read each definition and write the matching word from the Word Bank in the blank.
- Cross words off the bank as you use them to narrow the remaining choices.
- Check with the answer key at the back, then re-study any words you missed.
How to Get the Most From Matching Practice
- Try it from memory first. Attempt each match before consulting notes — the effort of retrieving the meaning is what builds memory.
- Re-mix the ones you miss. Make a short list of the words you got wrong and match them again the next day.
- Pair it with the flashcards. Use the SAT Vocabulary Flashcards for quick daily review, then use these worksheets to confirm you can match words to meanings.
- Finish with the test. When a set feels easy, check yourself with the SAT Vocabulary Practice Test.
