This Vocab Quiz Will Take You Back to 10th Grade English

Every young person loved nothing more than studying vocab words for hours on end in order to prepare themselves for the insanely important SAT and ACT tests. Oh wait, did we say “loved”? We meant “despised”. Trying in vain to memorize the meaning of words you never have and never plan on using in everyday conversation is not only boring, but seems completely pointless. While some of us have blocked that point of our lives out of our minds, others can still remember every vocabulary word on the list. So where do you fall? Can you remember what the word “contingency” means? What about “impetuous”?

This quiz will ask you to identify the correct definition of 12 words you might find on a high school vocabulary quiz. Think you’ll be able to ace it? Or will you be asking your teacher for a do-over? grab a number 2 pencil and let’s get started!
