<p>Direct Hits is absolutely great but not enough.
Barron Basic Words is comprehensive with almost 3500 words but a half of it is never present in the real test.
Others such as Barron Hot Words is either too difficult or not enough.
So I am wondering if there is a good vocabulary book can help me with my poor vocabulary. What about Word Power Made Easy or Webster's Vocabulary Builder?
Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Why is Direct Hits not enough? Do you think you need to know more words that are non-standard?? Or is your problem a lack of “usual” vocab terms?</p>
<p>Actually I am an international student.Direct Hits is a wonderful book for sentence completion but may not enough for me to face the Critical Reading part :(( </p>
