Vocabulary: Term Lists

Throughout the course of the school year, you will be responsible for learning the vocabulary terms included in the lists
below. They have been carefully selected from the SAT and the PSAT preparation texts in order to enhance your
vocabulary knowledge and future standardized test scores. Assessment of these will include a vocabulary quiz every two
weeks, which will cover one list. Quiz dates will be given in advance and should be listed below for studying purposes.
Making up quizzes missed when absent is the students responsibility. Failure to make-up the quiz within the
following week results in a failing grade for the quiz.
