Meaning

Difficult to understand; obscure and hard to follow.

In context

The treatise was so abstruse that it remained inaccessible to all but a few specialists.

How it works

Step 1

Pick a deck

Start with the Medium set, then step up to the Hard deck — or shuffle all 300 high-frequency SAT words.

Step 2

Flip to learn

See the word, guess the meaning, then flip the card for a clear definition and the word used in a real sentence.

Step 3

Mark what you know

Tap “Got it” or “Still learning.” Your progress saves, so each session focuses on the words you haven't mastered.

Built to make vocab stick

  • 300 high-frequency SAT words, hand-picked and reviewed
  • Every word shown in context, not just a dry definition
  • “Only still-learning” mode to drill your weak words
  • Progress tracking with a known-words bar
  • Works on phone, tablet, and laptop — no app to install

Questions, answered.

Are the flashcards free?

Yes — they're included free for every student with an IvyStrides account. Create an account and the Flashcards section is in your student portal.

How many words are there?

300 high-frequency SAT vocabulary words, split into a Core deck and a Medium deck, each shown in a real example sentence.

How is this different from a plain word list?

Every card shows the word in context plus a plain-language meaning, and the tool remembers which words you've mastered so you spend time only on the ones you haven't.

Do I need to be a tutoring student to use it?

No. Anyone can create a free IvyStrides student account and use the flashcards. Our tutoring students also get live classes, practice tests, and a mistake tracker.
