Vocabulary Quiz. This is a list of vocabulary items from this week's reading, one for Reading A and one for Reading B. Each list has 50 items. When you take the quiz, you will have 20 of these items, chosen at random. For each item, you will be given four possible definitions to choose from, only one of which is correct. You may take the quiz up to 5 times and the system will record your average score. Here are some Vocabulary Study Tips!

The links in bold are links to the Encyclopedia area of this website; the links that are not in bold are links to dictionary.com. Note that since the vocabulary in Buck is really not very challenging, the list of word in each section from now on is just 25 instead of 50.
