Yes, English has the largest vocabulary of any language. And whether to study vocabulary has long been the subject of debate. The confusion lies in that the pre-2016 SAT tested directly less common words. BUT, the 2016 SAT tests vocabulary in the form of Vocabulary in Context and focuses on more common words with their less common definitions or uses. However, the passages may use more difficult words, and if you don't understand those words, you may misunderstand the passage.
Memorizing long lists of words and definitions has always been problematic because that is not how English works. Many words have multiple definitions and even uses outside of those definitions.
You need to read more and pay attention to unfamiliar words and familiar words used in unfamiliar ways. Keep track of those words and work on integrating them into your own vocabulary. There is no fast and easy method of doing this unfortunately. College Panda has a word list that is useful, and Erica Meltzer has a vocabulary book that alerts you to the types of vocabulary you need to understand.
