I found the best website on Earth today. It’s a site called FreeRice, where you’re able to practice vocabulary while being altruistic. You’re presented with a word and four possible definitions, and you’re asked to pick which one is correct. For each word you get right, FreeRice donates ten grains of rice to the hungry. Amazing, right?
There are fifty levels of vocabulary in total. For each word you get wrong, you move down a level, and for every correct three in a row, you move up a level. According to their FAQ:
This one-to-three ratio is best for keeping you at the “outer fringe” of your vocabulary, where learning can take place.
I am so angry that I didn’t have this website a year, or even a month, ago. It’s a spectacular, entertaining, and righteous way to prepare for the SAT. Pretty cool, huh?
An interesting combination of free SAT prep and food donation… I will visit this site every day and recommend you all do the same.
I came across your blog while Googling this web site! Juniors who are taking the SAT this year are so lucky.
Thanks Pi person! I hope you stick around.
