SAT Words in Context Practice Questions

Words in Context questions test vocabulary through the sentence and passage, not memorized definitions alone. These SAT vocabulary practice questions teach you to predict the meaning from logic before looking at choices.

1. Cover the answer choices and write a plain substitute from the sentence.
2. Use nearby contrast, cause, example, or definition clues to refine the prediction.
3. Test each choice for meaning, grammar, tone, and intensity before selecting it.
