How Many Suneung (SAT-Level) Vocabulary Words Should You Study Per Day? A 4-Week Plan

2026-07-25 · Vocab Learning

How many suneung (Korean CSAT) or SAT vocabulary words should you study per day? The honest answer: probably fewer new words than you think, paired with steady review. 20-30 new words a day is a reasonable ceiling — push past it without review and most of it fades within days.

A repeatable 4-week rhythm

Week 1: ~20 new words/day with same-day review. Week 2: 20-25 new/day plus review of week 1's tricky words. Week 3: 25-30 new/day, mixing in week 1-2 words. Week 4: cut new words to 15-20 and spend most of the time reviewing the full cycle. Then start over with a fresh batch.

Why games beat static word lists

Reading a list is passive recognition; a game forces active recall every round — the kind of memory that actually holds up under exam pressure. More on this in the suneung vocab game guide.
