Carousel Ideas for an SAT Vocab App

Vocab carousels die when they are a dictionary. A test-day carousel teaches the trap.

A format

1. The word, large.
2. A sentence a test might use, not a cute one.
3. The definition in a few words.
4. The trap: the word people mix it up with.
5. "Five of these a day is a deck. It is in the app."

Other ideas

• "Words that look positive and aren't."
• "The 20 you keep missing, not 2,000 new ones."
• "What to do the week of the test: review misses, don't add a new list."
• "A word in the question stem, not just the choices."

Keep the claim small

Knowing a word list does not equal a score. Say these are words that show up and a way to remember them. Students have been promised a 200-point jump by worse products. You can be the one that does not do that.

Check the words. A confident, wrong definition is worse than skipping a day.
