16th October, 2026 | Abhishek Malani | 13 Min Read
Short lists are underrated. The June 2026 Digital SAT gave students just 14 words to remember, and that makes this the easiest SAT word list to master completely. Instead of skimming a long list once, you can learn each word properly in two weeks. The words are a mix of everyday-sounding terms with tricky shades of meaning (parameters, proxies, auxiliaries) and formal verbs that appear in academic passages (renounces, imparts, assents).

  • Renounces vs assents: one pushes something away, the other agrees to it.
  • Imparts vs absorbs: one gives knowledge or energy out, the other takes it in.
  • Abundance vs erasure: one means plenty, the other means removal. Both describe how much of something is left.
  • Overturning vs assents: reversing a decision versus approving it.
