The SAT exam is filled with complex vocabulary! There are many techniques we can use to decipher an unknown word. No matter how crazy or complicated the word may seem, there is almost always a way to figure out the meaning.  One of the easier methods is to enlist the help of prefixes. Prefixes are the letters placed before the root of a word, which alters its meaning. For example, when you place “un” in front of “happy” we get “unhappy”, which means the direct opposite of the root of the word “happy”.
