We have created 12 sessions of "Top SAT/ACT* Words" with a total of 216+ words. The first 10 sessions each have 18 words listed alphabetically. Session #9 and Session #10 are focused on foreign words and Science/Biology words respectively. Session #11 and #12 are NEW as of May 2007!
Teachers, students and parents have asked us to assemble all 180 words (S#1 through S#10) into a list which we have done below. We hope this will help in the pursuit of a better vocabulary and better test results.
NOTE: In addition to the interactive puzzle, each set of 18 words also has at least a crossword (CW), definition match (DM), word find (WF) and fill-in-the-blank (FITB) exercise to reinforce greater understanding of these top SAT-ACT* words.
