1

<p>Can someone tell me the book that helped them the most with Critical reading and writing, and tell me how much it helped ;you and the technique used. i have 800 math, 530 Cr, 570 writing and i'm looking to change those scores please help and also cna you list vocab list that helped the most, i have 5 months to study please help.</p>

2

<p>I studied the Sparknotes 1000 words and the Barron's method for critical reading and raised my 670 to a 780.</p>

3

<p>I studied Princeton Review's Hit Parade list, and I used the Princeton Review prep book to help with both critical reading and writing. It helped raise my score from a 550 to 690.</p>

4

<p>Sparknotes 1,000 + Blue Book Tests = 670--->750</p>

5

<p>^ Ye SN 1000 is very good</p>

6

<p>The PR book is great.</p>

7

<p>umm for the writing, practice writing essays, raising your essay score helps the overall score, mine went from 470 to 680 by getting 12 one the essay</p>

8

<p>vocab: barrons 3500</p>

9

<p>Blue book practice tests. 690 --> 730 CR (not great, but I was doing practice tests and getting 2 - 3 wrong max on CR sections, but I guess I screwed up on test day...) </p>

<p>After doing a bunch of practice tests, you get the feel of what the "best" answer is supposed to be. Obviously vocab memorization also helps, but definitely aim for 3-5 practice tests beforehand.</p>

<p>Well, I've only taken the test once, but I got a 730 on Critical Reading. :D These are some sites I used.

<p>is Rocket Review's vocab list better than Princeton Review's Hit Parade?</p>

<p>I was wondering, because they were written by the same guy (Adam Robinson).</p>

<p>Why did he even choose to write a book on his own anyway? He was the head author of Princeton Review's SAT I believe.</p>

12

<p>would u consider book such as vocabulary cartoons 2 for sat good studding book, it has pictures, mnemonics, and most common sat wordes and divides them in groups to help you remabmer them best</p>

13

<p>can anyone answer my question about Rocket Review's Vocab vs Princeton Review's?</p>

14

<p>IMHO PR is better.</p>
