New Spring School-Day SAT Vocab Quiz + Pillar Page Updated

Hello MJTP students, teachers, and families!

Quick update this week on the vocabulary front.

If your student is preparing for an upcoming SAT — or just wants to stay sharp — we now have fresh data from the Spring School-Day SAT administration, and I've put together the full quiz package to go along with it.

NEW QUIZ: Spring School-Day SAT Vocabulary

We've updated the Spring School-Day quiz with newly reported words from recent April administration reports. The full package includes the warm-up narrative, flashcard deck, and the multi-modal quiz with matching, root/prefix exercises, and SAT-style context questions.

The updated word list now covers 17 words — including five newly confirmed additions:

• Circumvent
• Elide
• Incongruent
• Adhere
• Anathema

PILLAR PAGE UPDATED

I also updated our big vocabulary trends post — the one that tracks every high-frequency SAT word going back to March 2024.

A few things worth knowing from this update:

• Ephemeral has now appeared on two separate administrations, which moves it from the single-occurrence list up to medium-frequency. If your student has been on the fence about whether to prioritize it — prioritize it.

• The word family incongruous, incongruence, and now incongruent has appeared on four administrations across two years. That root is clearly one the College Board keeps coming back to.

• Four brand-new words have been added to the tracked list: circumvent, elide, adhere, and anathema. Single appearances so far, but now on our radar.

The full updated frequency breakdown is at the link below — useful if your student wants to know exactly which words to focus on first.

As always, feel free to reach out with any questions. More updates coming as May and June data rolls in.
