Like one part of the SAT

VERBAL

It tests your vocabulary and reading skills rather than math or equations.

The SAT used to be divided into sections, one of which was called the "Verbal" portion—it tested vocabulary, reading, and grammar. The clue hints at this by describing "one part of the SAT," so the answer is simply the name of that section. No wordplay here, just a direct reference to how the test was structured before its redesign.
