<p>What is the best test prep out of these three? I am looking for something with a great vocab section that does not only contain a great vocab list but great lessons to help you memorize them too. It is a given that CollegeBoard's book is considered to be the best, but in terms of vocab, which one should I get? Thanks for any help!</p>
<p>I'm guessing you're talking about the SATs. Haven't really tried Gruber or Barron, but these are the ones I've attempted to study from:</p>
<p>Princeton Review's vocab list could be worse...some parts are actually entertaining (but I still didn't make it past 2 pages).</p>
<p>Kaplan has 1309872756 words, but you might as well read a dictionary.</p>
<p>Up Your Score: The Underground Guide to the SAT...really entertaining and useful.
...Unless you're as lazy as me in which case you read a few pages, and then decide to get some ice cream and forget about the book, and then nap until test day.</p>
<p>So, no matter how wonderful a prep book is, you still have to read it!!!</p>
<p>Barron's is nice because it has enough words and also has sentences to supplement the definitions.</p>
<p>don't kaplan have only 500 words?</p>
<p>the McGraw-Hill book has an excellent vocab builder, i think it has about 700 or so words, but its done in lessons that are grouped in roots and prefixes</p>
