1,000 SAT/ACT words bundled
High-frequency SAT/ACT vocabulary from the College Board’s 2020+ tests. Every word has a definition, an example sentence, and the part of speech.
Spaced repetition
Words you know go to longer review intervals; words you miss come back sooner. Same engine as Anki, tuned for vocabulary drilling.
Quiz mode
Multiple choice and type-the-word formats. Mix mode for full-test prep.
Works offline
All 1,000 words bundled in the app. No internet needed at the library, on the bus, or at the SAT center the morning of the test.
No account, no upsell to a course
Magoosh and similar push to a $399 prep course as soon as you sign up. SAT Vocabulary Builder is the entire purchase — no upsell, no email harvesting.
Daily 10-minute set
Recommended daily set length keeps practice manageable. Hitting 10 minutes a day across 8 weeks covers all 1,000 words at SR-1 review.

Read privacy policy FAQ
Is the word list current for the digital SAT? +
Yes. The bundled list is drawn from 2020–2026 SAT and ACT released items, weighted toward high-frequency vocabulary. The digital SAT (post-2024) emphasizes the same vocabulary tier.
How is this different from Vocabulary.com or Magoosh? +
Vocabulary.com ($30/year) is broader but online-only and ad-supported. Magoosh SAT prep ($399) is a full course. SAT Vocabulary Builder ($19.99 lifetime) is just the vocabulary layer — you keep using the College Board’s free practice for the test mechanics.
Will it work without internet? +
Yes. The list and the practice engine are bundled. Works on a plane, on the bus, at the library. Useful for distraction-free practice without notifications.
Does my progress sync across devices? +
No — progress lives on the device. The app intentionally avoids the account flow. If you study on iPad and on iPhone, the streaks are separate. Most students just pick one device.
