Studying vocabulary isn't easy specially if you need to learn more than twenty words. What I do to study is find clues in the vocabulary or in the definition. I become familiar with the spelling of the word this helps me imprint it on my mind as I write the word, and spelling it. Also I say it out loud and try putting it in a sentence this helps me memorize the word more easily. Another strategy when I study is to find a nice, quiet place to work without people or distractions around me. I also read over the definitions of the word several times and write the definition as well. Using quizlet is one of the things I do also to help me prepare. I play the games and take the practice quizzes, this make studying a lot easier and less boring. I hope my strategies help you study for your next vocabulary test.
