<p>i was wondering where i can find this word list. everyone seems to say that this is the best list to study for vocab on the SAT so i have been looking for this list but cant find it. i bought the barrons 2400 and i thought it would be in there but it is not.
also, is sparksnotes 1000 frequent SAT words a good list as well?</p>
<p>If you google "Barrons Sat 3500", it's the very first hit under your post.</p>
<p>I can help you out here. Every word on the Sparknotes 1000 is in the Barron's 3500. In the Barron's list, it has hundreds of words labeled high frequency words because they've appeared on the SAT at least 8 times in the past years. I don't know if that online list labels them that. Anyways, if you ever look through a practice vocab book, almost all the those words will be found in the Barron's list. Here is my advice: study the sparknotes 10000 first, and then study the Barron's 3500 because at first the Barron's is way too much to study and I think that the Sparknotes list condenses it to words that you really need to know, but the Barron's is for every word.</p>

<p>Is that site legal?!</p>
<p>Can anyone post a link of where to actually buy this book?</p>
<p>As far as CR, Barrons SAT 2400 vocab words are the best for sat?</p>
<p>Barrons words the best. Wht bout Grubber's ? Good also I think</p>
<p>The Barrons 3500 word list is "available" for free from a huge number of online sources, but in every case that I know of, the list is corrupted. In other words, somebody went through it and added a bunch of words or subtracted others, making the list significantly worse. The first hit that appears if you search "Barrons Sat 3500" is now, interestingly, this thread :) . The first non-CC hit is the official Barrons site, which allows you to subscribe and get the real list, but it costs $18.99 for 6 months.</p>
<p>If you want the real Barrons list, I would go to your local bookstore or Amazon.com and buy either the SAT guide or the GRE guide: they should both contain the full list. Double-check before you buy the book, of course.</p>
<p>That said, I've gone on record many times before saying that I don't love the Barrons list: I think it's over-rated. If you want to go with a list from a major prep company, you might want to use the Word Smart books before you hit the Barrons list: Word Smart is very good, better than Barrons 3500.</p>
<p>I'm not super-familiar with the SparkNotes list, but I bet that it's also a better starting point than Barrons, as somebody else mentioned.</p>
<p>I posted the list I use with my own tutoring program on another thread (it's Sesame</a> Words: Academic and SAT Vocabulary). It's a more efficient list than Barrons, and it's free. </p>
<p>And to answer you, turtlechex: nope, that site is not legal.</p>
