    Hey guys study this words list cuz all of the words from the exam was on this list: https://img.sparknotes.com/content/testprep/pdf/sat.vocab.pdf
    Maths is application based less content so practice solving worded problems over learning content (learn simultaneous equations), quantitative is maths puzzles, reading is more interpretation based so use logic, verbal is also logic based but they ask for syllogisms and questions like words in context and the best and worst arguments for certain opinions

      BengaliCamel Personally, simply revising a bunch of words in a word bank is not very efficient way to learn. My strategy is to Read a book, Highlight good words, write down their definition, synonyms, antonyms. Then, once i've got around 6-10 words, I would put them in a paragraph. After this ill start with a new bunch of words and repeat the cycle again. Make sure to go over the old words as spaced repetition is good.

        And i ended up improving my English and scored superior in VR and you have to trust me but, due to this method, i was able to answer 2 questions in VR that i would not have known without this strategy, and used about 4-5 words from my own method in writing.

        It is about what you're comfortable with but this is personally very useful to me, and will continue to use it in high school

        Hope this helps

        I may be too late, but I'am sitting the entrance exam this year. I would like to ask if anyone(preferred if you have sat the exam) knows what are the topics for the selective exam? Mostly for maths as I see everyone has different responses for the topics! But if anyone could give the topics for all subjects (nr,vr,maths,reading) would really help! Thank you! 🙂

        p.s tips would really help too! I'am quite nervous and would like to hear everyones perspectives and tips!
