Do you really need vocab?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Should we just be glancing over huge vocab lists? Or brutally memorize thousands of words for the CR section if you're aiming for a 700-750ish on it? Because I really aren't that great when it comes to stuff like that.</p>

<p>It’s better to learn 435 words from Direct Hits and practice with BB rather than to use useless prodigious lists.</p>

<p>Like brutal memorization? Or just kinda be familiar with them?</p>

4

<p>brutal memoration. You must know all 435 by heart. like your fingers</p>

5

<p>Reading from an early is the best way to prepare. </p>

<p>However, this is not possible for everyone. Studying Direct Hits is a good idea so that you know all the words by heart. Then you should use te PR and BB tests to perfect your CR aptitude.</p>

<p>I have not memorized any list yet. Still, I am getting just 1 wrong in vocab part, most of the time, which is ok with me. It is possible to do decently on vocab without brutally memorizing any list as long as you make good educated guesses. Overall in CR, I am getting 3 wrongs and I have no plan to memorize any vocabs at the moment. I might thumb through Direct Hits, though.</p>

<p>^
Diagree. All cases prooved that Direct Hits are the best.</p>

<p>Memorize DH. I never used it myself; I only used Hit Parade from PR but CC’ers recommend DH. However you can memorize other lists as well and still do adequate on CR (I used PR + sparknotes list exclusively and got 800 CR)</p>
