Synonyms and Antonyms

Free online synonyms and antonyms exercises. In these exercises, students must choose the best synonym or antonym for the word given. Each exercise is six questions long. Before you begin, you may find it helpful to view our verbal reasoning techniques page. This page outlines several strategies that will enable you to answer synonyms/antonyms questions with a higher success rate, even on questions in which you are unsure about specific word definitions. We recommend that you use a thesaurus to learn word definitions, especially if studying for the SAT or GRE tests. A thesaurus allows you to become familiar with the family of synonyms and antonyms associated with a given word. In terms of test taking, this can prove more valuable than knowing the precise definition of individual words.
