<p>I have no idea how the SAT is really like with this section. I’m glad someone thinks it’s great. That was a lot of ink I had to use.</p>
<p>I would also like to hear(read) of your experiences with this section of the sat.</p>
<p>I would recommend doing the Direct Hits vocabulary books: along with this Princeton Review Vocab Book: [SAT</a> Power Vocab (College Test Preparation): Princeton Review: 9780804124560: Amazon.com: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Power-Vocab-College-Test-Preparation/dp/0804124566]SAT”>http://www.amazon.com/Power-Vocab-College-Test-Preparation/dp/0804124566) to prepare an adequate base for the SAT Vocabulary.</p>
<p>What is the basis of the choice of words to include in the document?</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>Pretty simple. Almost all lists of words started by culling the words from the older released tests. The problem is that some writers also added words on a whimsical basis, including words that are mostly GRE level. The biggest offender being Barron’s as they simply recycled their GRE list and presented it as a SAT list. </p>
<p>FWIW </p>

<p>PS The listed website “borrowed” the 1,000 words from someone else, namely Sparknotes.</p>

<p>Have to wonder about an organization that steals material and cannot spell fair correctly!</p>
