<p>If you can just post any words that would be really helpful.</p>

<p>There is a book available on Amazon called, “Tutor Ted.”<br>
It is really good. It explains the answers to all the questions in the blue book as well as provides lists of vocabulary words from each test.
We found this book to be really helpful in preparing for the SAT.
Other books we used is Direct Hits 1 and 2.</p>

<p>The Direct Hits books are fantastic, I love using them! They’re my study buddies for the upcoming SAT in January ^___^</p>

<p>Yeah… I used direct hits. I knew every single word, but I missed at least 3 vocabs on the October test. Every time I got it down to 50/50 but I still ended up missing some words. You’ll want more than DH.</p>

<p>Black Book and Essential 500 is all you need really</p>
