The school year is in full swing and SAT season has just begun. Parents spend big bucks on prep courses, study books, word lists and the like, trying to give their kids an edge, but there are some simple yet powerful tricks that will save time and money that every teen should have in her SAT tool belt. Oneof these tools packing a powerful punch is Latin.  \nDespite what many say about the new SAT, the era of the “SAT word” isn‟t over. The SAT is packed with vocabulary questions, with a good deal of them in the Critical Reading section. But a solid understanding of vocabulary is essential to boosting your score in both the Critical Reading and the Writing sections of the SAT. At the core of many words are roots, and many of the roots that make up the myriad of words in the English language come from Latin. Caroline Taggart, author of The Classics: Everything You Need to Know, From Zeus’s Throne to the Fall of Rome, says that even without an official course in Latin, there‟s a core list of roots every test taker should have at her fingertips, to arm her with the know-how to power through any unfamiliar words. Here‟s her essential list:  \n1) Lux: Lux and its genitive form lucis both mean “light,” so words containing luc often have to do with making things clearer („“shedding light” on them) .  \nExamples: lucid, elucidate  \n2) Vertere: Vertere means “to turn” and is the root of all sorts of words about turning, in either a literal or a figurative sense.  \nExamples: vertigo, subvert, advertisement (literally “something you turn toward”)  \n3) Intra/Inter: Intra means “within” and inter means “between,” which explains the difference between the Internet, which is a link between various networks, and an Intranet, which is confined to an individual company.  \nExamples: intravenous, intramural; interagency, interactive  \n4) Pre/Post: Anything beginning with pre-has a good chance of meaning “before”; post-is likely to mean“after.”  \nExamples: prefix, precaution, precede, preadolescent; postscript, post mortem, posterity (future generations – the ones that come after you)  \n5) Super: Super means above or beyond.  \nExamples: superior, supernatural, supersonic  \n6) Contra: Contra means against, so lots of words beginning with this suggest conflict or disagreement. Examples: contrary, contradict, contravene, contraflow  \n7) Anti: Anti also means against and is often used in scientific terms to mean “acting against” or “the opposite of.” Examples: antihistamine, antidepressant, anticyclone, anticlockwise  \n8) Ante: The words in the previous entry are not to be confused with ante, with an e, which means before.  \nExamples: antecedent, antediluvian (before the flood = very old indeed), ante meridiem (a.m. = before noon, in the morning)  \n9) Multi: Multi means much or many.  \nExamples: multiple, multifarious, multilingual, multimillionaire, multitude  \n10) Mono: Mono means one.  \nExamples: monopoly, monogamy, monotheism, monoxide  \nIt can also be useful to know that bi-and di-both mean two. Examples: bigamy, bilateral, dimorphous, dioxide  \nAnd that hemi-, demi-and semi-all mean a half. Examples: hemisphere, demigod, semicircle  \n11) Cent: Cent means one hundred.  \nExamples: per cent (ten per cent = ten in every hundred), century, centurion  \nIn metric measurements centi-means one-hundredth: Examples: centimeter (one-hundredth of a meter), centiliter (one-hundredth of a liter), centigrade (thermometer scale graduated into 100 divisions)  \n12) -vore: In Latin, vore means “to eat greedily.” In many words that contain –vore, for example herbivore and carnivore, the-vore is concerned with eating. So if you come across afructivorous monkey or sanguivorous bat, you can at least be confident that you are being told about their diet, even if you aren't quite sure what it is they eat.  \nExamples: herbivore","cbCaitjM7C2BqvqF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitjM7C2BqvqF","pdf",130439,"English","# SAT vocabulary strategies with Latin roots\n## Core root list and meanings\n## Examples for SAT-relevant word families\n## Common prefixes and suffixes","[{\"question\":\"How does learning Latin word roots help with SAT scores?\",\"answer\":\"A solid understanding of vocabulary boosts performance in both the SAT Critical Reading and Writing sections.
