Calling all 700 or above Verbal scorers (PLZ COME)

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hey smart students. i have a small request. i am studying 3500 words (barron's). is it a good idea to do that? i also have:
HOT WORDS
SAT WORD MASTER 1 & 2
Verbal workbook kaplan</p>

<p>Should i use the other one i listed instead of the Barron's? The barron's is too intimidating. Do you think just the other listed will give me above 700? How did u study 4 it? plz anything, tell me anything. i will be happy. thanks.</p>

<p>I used word smart by princeton review, and read a sparknotes novel (Busted). Went from 610->710</p>

3

<p>i used barron's and got from 650 to 750. But it IS long, and if you don't have enough time, word smart might be smarter choice.</p>

<p>best wr:
How did u use the book to raise your score? plz guide me</p>

<p>It really depends on how strong you are in this area. I went from a 700v my junior year to an 800v my senior year from just reading the books I had to read for school. </p>

<p>Studying vocab certainly helps but only to a certain extent. I would recommend reading and taking practice tests to be honest.</p>

6

<p>I spent a half hour learning the strategies and never studied again...730
Learn the test, not the words</p>
