I'm in AP Lit and have a 200+ vocab word list that I was given today. We have a test on it on Friday. I'm terrible at studying vocab, and a good portion of these words I do not know. What's the best way to go about memorizing these?

Flash Cards with a simple definition. Anytime you have a few free seconds you go through them. Just writing the flash cards will help you to remember them. Since it isn't a list you can concentrate on one word at a time, and cards are easier to carry.

1] Write them out [It would take a while though]
2] Make Flash Cards
3] Just go over them very often
4] In your computer, go to the Voice Recorder under Entertainment in your computer, and record the words, leaving spaces between each of the words so you can say outloud the definition and test yourself this way. Make sure you save your words.
Hope this helps,

Make flash cards, like everyone else says, and then record yourself saying the words and definitionss onto a tape, or CD or minidisc or whatever and that way you can listen to them on the subway or in your car and even the night before your test play it while you're sleeping. That worked wonders for my Sociology final last year

What I do is write each word on a recipe card (word on front, definition on the back) and make flash cards. They take a while to write, but as you write them you're memorizing them too and don't even realize it. Good luck!

you're in ap lit and youre asking how to study?!?!?!?! you should memorize it by actually using the words... or look for words inside the words... and make a connection with it. I did that for sat and it worked

This might take some time but making flashcards really really helps me. Just do the words you don't know. Writing down the actual word and definition helps AND using the flashcards by quizzing yourself helps too! Good luck on your quiz!

What i do is keep reading the list, then come up with sentences with each word, then cover the section with the definitions and see how much I remember. It works!

www.dictionary.com to study them.
Look at their roots as broken down so you understand how they came to be what they are today. Forget individual memorization - go beyond that to how the meaning came to be. THAT is the key.

May a little story or poem with the words.
