408 high-utility words in a four-mode mastery lab

The Digital SAT does not reward memorizing an enormous antique word list. It rewards reading a word in context, noticing tone and logic, and distinguishing close meanings. A smaller, well-reviewed deck is more useful than a giant list seen once.

01

Learn meaning, behavior, and context

Learn Mode, Match, Flashcards, and Context Sprint approach the same word from different retrieval angles. Each answer updates one mastery record, so practice changes what returns next.

  • Definition retrieval
  • Timed word matching
  • Sentence-level transfer

02

Use retrieval, not rereading

Try to produce the meaning before revealing it. The shared spaced-review engine returns missed and uncertain words sooner while strong words spread out across later sessions.

  • Recall before reveal
  • One mastery state across modes
  • Searchable library and session history

03

Build a library that follows your coursework

The TaroPrep core deck is only the starting point. Create custom banks by pasting words, definitions, examples, and synonyms from class or independent reading, then practice them in the same four modes.

  • Persistent custom word banks
  • Bulk paste import
  • Bank-level study filters

Frequently asked questions

Does the Digital SAT still test vocabulary?

Yes, especially through Words in Context and passage comprehension. The emphasis is meaning in a sentence, not isolated definitions alone.

Should I memorize thousands of words?

Usually not. Prioritize high-utility academic words, read them in context, and use spaced retrieval. Reading widely remains important.

How many words should I study per day?

Ten to twenty new or due cards is a practical starting point. Stop adding new cards if review accuracy collapses.
