<p>Hellooo, I was wondering.. which book is a better buy...?
Hot Words or Direct Hits? I'm planning to use either one to build up my vocabulary.. on the verbal section of the SAT.</p>
<p>& also, if using the Gruber's workbook, which section is the most helpful? Math, CR, or Writing?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I’m using Hot Words and it’s really been helping me. Most of the words on the SAT Practice tests that I don’t know always end up being in there. However, a lot of CC’ers would recommend Direct Hits. I haven’t used it so I can’t really say anything. Gruber’s is great for math!</p>
<p>HotWords.
Although I don’t own it yet, my English teacher’s daughter used it and said it was GREAT.
Instead of learning words one by one, it gives you a bunch of words that mean roughly the same thing =)</p>

<p>I would assume Direct Hits. Someone did an analysis of the words that showed up on the real SAT (aka "hits), and DH was always best.</p>

<p>Gruber’s is best for Math. I use Rocket Review for CR and Writing.</p>
