<p>I only have the list of the vocabularies in Direct Hits (not the book) and i wanted to know whether the ACTUAL BOOK is what makes it effective or is it just the list??</p>
<p>Actual book as in the examples/definitions/reviews given in the book.</p>
<p>Personally I think it helps especially with harder words. It also gives the definition in simpler words.</p>

<p>Yeah DH helps alot.
I memorized it + the words in her (( <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/1358397-some-vocab-words-helped-me-sat.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/1358397-some-vocab-words-helped-me-sat.html</a> )) and got 18/19.
Good luck. If you’re gonna buy a book, then go for Direct Hits or The Essential 300 words.
Using both would be better. They both have about 800 words in total, they’re worth it. Study them both.</p>
