Tip
The best way to prepare is to read as much as you can to build your vocabulary. If you encounter an unfamiliar word in your reading, make sure you look it up. Keep track of the word and its meaning on an index card, notepad, or in notes on your smartphone. Keeping a list of new words that you review from time to time is a great way to build a tremendous vocabulary. Another way to prepare is to learn the meaning of the word parts that make up many English words. These word parts consist of prefixes, suffixes, and roots. If you encounter an unfamiliar word, you could take apart the word and think about the parts.
