A vocabulary quiz is an effective way to study and learn new vocabulary words. Vocabulary words are important to learn for understanding written material, writing better essays and stories, and passing standardized tests, such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test for college admissions. The most common way to study vocabulary is to use notecards with the word printed on one side and the definition
. printed on the other side. The learner must locate each word in a dictionary and write out the definition for each word. Then a learner can quiz himself or herself by reading either side of the card and coming up with the corresponding word or definition. Another useful method for studying vocabulary is to write the word in a sentence. The more sentences that a learner creates with that vocabulary word, the more effective his or her learning and subsequent use of the word will be. Also, the practice of creating pictures to remember a vocabulary word, whether mental or by using actual drawings or photos, may help increase a learner's recall of the word, because the brain is now using not just the left language hemisphere, but also the right abstract art and spatial hemisphere. This increases the learner's ability to learn, memorize, and retrieve the learned vocabulary word. A number of vocabulary quiz makers can be found on the Internet with a simple search engine review. These include printed templates and software programs which build matching vocabulary quizzes and multiple choice quizzes. Both types of quizzes are effective for learning new vocabulary. Many teacher's websites have vocabulary quizzes on them, and many websites are on the Internet for vocabulary specifically geared toward the SAT or ACT. The importance of a strong vocabulary cannot be understated when it comes time to take the SAT or ACT, which may make a big difference in getting into college or qualifying for financial aid.
