Why a quiz built from your own list beats a generic set

Most ready-made SAT vocab sets teach words your teacher never assigned, so you spend time on the wrong list. A SAT vocab quiz built from your own material tests the exact words you will see in class and on practice tests, and it shows you where you are weak.

Quiz questions are drawn from the words in your uploaded file.
Each answer includes an explanation tied to the word's meaning or root.
Missed items can be turned into flashcards for spaced review.
Free plan: study in the browser. Exports to PDF and DOCX need Plus at $9.99/month or $99.90/year.

Example SAT vocab quiz questions

Which word best describes someone who talks a great deal? Loquacious, laconic or taciturn?Loquacious. It means tending to talk a lot, from Latin loqui, to speak, so it is the opposite of laconic.

Ephemeral most nearly means which of these: lasting a very short time, or lasting forever?Lasting a very short time. The word comes from Greek roots meaning lasting only a day, so it describes things that pass quickly.

Which word means showing great care and attention to small details?Meticulous. It describes careful work where nothing is overlooked, and it is often used for precise, patient effort.

Tenacious most nearly means: easily discouraged, or holding firmly to a goal?Holding firmly to a goal. It comes from Latin tenax, meaning holding fast, so it describes persistence.

Laconic most nearly means: wordy, or using very few words?Using very few words. It describes a speaker or writer who is brief, often in a way that seems cold or blunt.

Questions from your own words

Upload a PDF, DOCX, slide deck, plain text notes or a photo of a vocab page. The quiz covers the words you were actually assigned.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation, so a wrong pick teaches you the root, connotation or context of the word.

Flashcards and spaced repetition

Turn the same list into flashcards and review them on a spaced schedule so the words stay in memory before test day.

How it works

Upload your list

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes file or photo of your SAT vocab pages. Text is read from images automatically.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, or mix them in one quiz.

Study in the browser

Take the quiz, read the explanations, and move missed words into your flashcard deck. Free accounts get 3 generations per month.

Multiple-choice questions work well for SAT-style distractors, while short-answer questions force you to recall the meaning without a clue. Pairing either format with explanations helps you learn why a word fits a sentence, not just what it means.

Frequently asked questions

How do I study SAT vocab words effectively?

Work in short sessions and test yourself before you reread the definitions. Group words by root or theme, such as words built on Latin roots for speech, and review them again after a day or two.

Should I memorize word lists or learn word roots?

Use both: roots help you guess meanings of unfamiliar words on the test, and lists help you confirm the common SAT meanings. Quizzes that explain each answer make the connection between the two.

Can I export my vocab quiz?

Exports to PDF and DOCX are part of the Plus plan, which is $9.99/month or $99.90/year, with 40% off for students using a school email. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included in Pro at $14.99/month.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, and you do not need a credit card to start.
