I am in high school trying to pass my AP english class. my teacher teaches us on a higher grade level basically a college level. he gives us vocabulary words each week ranging from 20 to 30 words. each week we have to add on the new words so this week we are almost at 200 words. we have vocabulary tests each friday and our teacher never tells us what words will be covered on the test all he tells us is that the test will cover whatever words we have studied not giving us a specific word list from a specific week. so each week we know we will have a test on the list from that week but we don't know what other words from the previous weeks will be on the same test. and on top of that we don't get a word bank on the test we have to remember the words from each week and their definition. please help me come up witha way to pass the test and remember most of the definitions without having to cheat on the test.

this is what i do in my honors english class. i use my words daily, in conversations, essays, letters, e-mails, etc. so this is what you should try. And study the day before at night or all day. xP
 
Wow, that sounds difficult. I suggest you study by note cards: Writing the vocab word on the front and writing the definition on the back to frequently test yourself. You can also think of ways to remember the word. For example, if a word like "guilty" was something I had to memorize.. I'd keep thinking of another word I'm familiar with that sound alike like "guillotine". If I feel guilty (or remorse), sometimes it feels just as bad as going through a guillotine. I am probably confusing you by now haha but find similar words that sound alike that will help you remember.
 
Give someone the words and definitions and have them quiz you over them. about 25 mins a day. You should do fine. In my vocab class we have a regular of 30 words. So I know what you are talking about.
 
First, you should fix your spelling...Preblems?

But more importantly, I recommend repetition.
