This app for the most part resembles the original Painless GRE app, but prioritizes most common words for SAT. There may be further SAT-specific customizations in the future.

(Note: If you have been studying for SAT but donated for Painless GRE, you can get this app and I'll refund the other one for you. Just send me an email with the title "GRE -> SAT old-order-number new-order-number"; in the body say something nice ^^)

Features:
* most common SAT words with examples
* variety of exercises (word->definition, definition->word, sentence completion, etc.)
* traditional word cards
* word list supporting searches by titles and definitions
* keeping track of learning progress
* offline pronunciation

All the best for your SAT prepping. From Phil, with love ^^.

-----------------------------------------------

NOTE: you can manually mark a word as 'mastered' by long tapping on it in the word list. A mastered word will still show up in rare occasions.

If you spot typos/mistakes, don't hesitate to let me know :)

Upcoming features:
* more intuitive graphs
* games (maybe)

My thanks for all the help from Bilal Hasan and Abbas Eghlimi.


FAQ:

1. Please add feature to allow resuming session.
-> No. It's a design decision. You are supposed to work on an entire session in one go without distraction.

2. I see mastered words again...
-> Mastered words will still reappear in rare occasions. They might happen in batch.

3. I suddenly get all new words regardless of the set ratio
-> Old words will not reappear immediately. They need a while to show up again. The duration increases over time if you do well on them.

4. I suddenly get all old words regardless of the set ratio.
-> You have been trying to cram too much in a short period of time.

In summary, the app takes care of old words/new words for you. The principle is few repetition over a long, increasing periods of time is more effective than lots of frequent ones. I add some options other than the default ones due to excessive whining from multiple people. Use them at your own risks. Basically, if you're trying to cram a crazy number of words in a short period of time, you're looking for something else. Please don't ask for a "fix".
