- Synonym
- A word or phrase that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word in a specific context, not merely a related idea or topic.
- Antonym
- A word that expresses the opposite meaning of another word in a given context; the opposite must match the stem word's intended sense.
- Analogy relation
- A logical link between two words, such as part to whole, cause to effect, or tool to function, used to choose a pair with the same link.
- Contrast connector
- A word such as but, although, or however that signals a shift in direction between ideas, often requiring an opposite or qualifying word in sentence completion.
- Cause-result connector
- A word such as because, therefore, or so that shows one idea causes or follows from another, helping predict the missing word's direction.
- Main idea
- The central point that covers the whole passage; it must be broad enough to include all key supporting details and not just one sentence's content.
- Supporting detail
- A specific fact, example, or reason in a passage that explains or proves the main idea; it is narrower than the passage's overall claim.
- Valid inference
- A conclusion that must follow from the stated information, even if it is not directly stated; mere plausibility or outside knowledge is not enough.
- Subject-verb agreement
- The rule that a verb matches its subject in number and person; nouns inside prepositional phrases between them do not determine the verb form.
- Pronoun antecedent
- The noun or noun phrase to which a pronoun refers; the pronoun must agree with it in number and gender and the reference must be clear.
- Modifier placement
- A descriptive word or phrase should be placed next to the word it describes; misplaced modifiers create unclear or unintended meaning in a sentence.
- Parallel structure
- Items in a list or comparison should use the same grammatical form, such as all nouns, all verbs, or all infinitive phrases, for clarity.
- Tone in passage
- The author's attitude toward the subject, revealed by word choice and emphasis; it differs from the passage's main idea or factual content.
- Author's purpose
- The reason an author writes a passage, such as to inform, persuade, explain, or criticize; it is inferred from content, structure, and language.
- Context clue
- Information in surrounding words or sentences that helps determine an unfamiliar word's meaning, including definitions, examples, contrasts, or cause-effect relationships.
- Logical conclusion
- A statement that follows necessarily from given premises; if the premises are true, the conclusion cannot be false under the same terms.
- Percent change
- The change divided by the original amount, multiplied by 100; an increase from 40 to 50 is 10/40 × 100 = 25 percent.
- Average
- The sum of all values divided by the number of values; if the average and count are known, multiply them to recover the total sum.
- Ratio scale factor
- When two quantities are in ratio a:b, their actual values can be written as ak and bk for the same positive scale factor k.
- Pythagorean theorem
- In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two legs: a squared plus b squared equals c squared.
- Common Pythagorean triple
- A set of whole numbers satisfying the Pythagorean theorem, such as 3-4-5 or 5-12-13, useful for finding missing right-triangle sides quickly.
- Area of rectangle
- The area equals length times width; for a square with side s, it is s squared, and perimeter is twice the sum of length and width.
- Area of triangle
- The area equals one half times base times height, where height is perpendicular to the chosen base, not necessarily a side length.
- Circle circumference
- The distance around a circle equals 2πr, where r is the radius; if diameter d is given, use πd instead.
- Circle area
- The area enclosed by a circle equals πr squared, where r is the radius; doubling the radius multiplies the area by four.
- Probability of event
- For equally likely outcomes, probability equals favorable outcomes divided by total outcomes; it always lies between zero and one inclusive.
- Complement rule
- The probability that an event does not occur equals one minus the probability that it does occur: P(not A)=1−P(A).
- Exponent product rule
- When multiplying powers with the same base, add the exponents: x^a times x^b equals x^(a+b), provided x is not zero when needed.
- Exponent power rule
- When raising a power to another power, multiply the exponents: (x^a)^b equals x^(a times b), keeping the same base x.
- Linear equation isolation
- To solve for a variable, apply opposite operations to both sides until the variable stands alone; substitute the result back to check.
- Slope formula
- For two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), slope equals (y2−y1)/(x2−x1); it measures vertical change per horizontal change.
- Integer sign product
- A product of two numbers with the same sign is positive; a product with opposite signs is negative; zero times any number is zero.
