<p>i took the sat for the first time and i got a 1530 (520 verbal 530 math 480 writing 8 essay) im very upset because i felt i shuold have done much better and i felt that i did very well (i don't expect to get a 2000 but at least an 1700) anyway i felt that a problem i had was on the vocabulary, so i was wondering if there are any books out there to help my vocabualry skill</p>
<p>I have a really great vocab book called Word Smart. Try that. Do you have other prep books too? Don't just study vocab. I would definitely practice with the official College Board tests and maybe get the Cracking the SAT book because it has really good strategies. The tests are good too.</p>
<p>dude- we are in the same boat. I got a 1570. Today, i got two cd's with sat vocab on them. i dunno- when things get in my ear i tend to remember them better so maybe try that....</p>
<p>Shorty, could you pm me a link to those? I might check them out.</p>
