Voice actors read the poems for you, so the power of audio makes the definitions stick even faster!
A GREAT FEATURE designed with Teachers in mind: PLAYLIST! Create a list of words for focused study—perfect for classroom use. Save as many individualized PLAYLISTS as you like.
Most vocabulary apps and books are just a bunch of flash cards and test questions. But FLASH CARDS are outdated (and they’re boring). That’s just not teaching. And studying hundreds of vocabulary words by rote won’t help you remember the definitions for long.
But your memory will LOVE the rhyme, audio, and “REMEMBER THIS” clues in the SAT Word Slam™ app. You’ll be amazed by how quickly you’ll learn the meanings of words and how well you’ll remember them months and years from now.
"You feel enmity for your ENEMY."
"Prowess makes you feel PROUD."
"Expunge is to wipe away, as you do with a SPONGE."
"A bastion cant be BASHED IN."
"Bumptious people will BUMP you out of line."
These are "REMEMBER THIS" clues, and they really work.
* Voice actors read short vocabulary poems for you.
* Proven-to-work “REMEMBER THIS” clues make the definitions easy to remember.
* Design your own lessons by marking words “Easy” and “Difficult.”
* Create your own PLAYLISTS to focus on specific words.
* Thousands of test questions help you gauge your progress.
*** This app uses EVERY TOOL POSSIBLE to help you learn and remember the definitions: synonyms, words in context, idioms, contemporary and historical references, humor, mnemonic clues, and audio. ***
And CHECK OUT THIS FEATURE:
Whenever you choose an incorrect answer in an untimed test, you can flip to the other side of the app to learn the word you should have chosen and then return to the test you were taking. Thats teaching!
*** Solvent. Garner. Raze. Edict. Innate. Supplant. ***
What do they mean? Let us teach you these and hundreds more—fast.
