After more then three years’ memorization of this list(between the frequency of 4000–8000), I finally have chance to start a new one, then a SAT Vocabulary(between the frequency of 8000–13000) is best to me, I tried GRE once, but it’s a little bit hard to me right now
Find Lists
I find two well prepared free lists online:
FREE MP3 Audio and Video Version of 5000 SAT Test Prep Words:
Word List: SAT Vocabulary(Need to register as a free member user):
I choose the first one because of the short descriptions, audio and a PDF for better review
Import into Anki
I use Anki to help me increase the memorization efficiency, from the original list, I got words, parts of speech, short descriptions, then I use FastWQ to bind phonetics and two type of long descriptions from vocabulary.com
When you do the update of vocabulary.com short/long definition, please use a slow pace, such as 1000 words each time for 5 times, otherwise your IP would be blocked by vocabulary.com
