SAT Word of the Day....

Word of the Day

Despondent: gloomy, depressed.
        Alex was despondent after his car accident.

Look at the beginning of the word.. "despond"... Think to yourself this word is like" respond" which means to react, to act positively... Continue thinking... 
The prefix "de" means down.. so to act down.. drop your head....sad.... depressed.... Think despondent...

Tip of the Day
Remember all questions can be answered without a calculator . Use your own  calculator to do math you can not do in your head or if you can do it quicker with a calculator --  like long division or changing percents to fractions.
