<p>i am just very curious to know how many words you guys study per day?</p>
<p>honestly, i didn't study. i'm just putting that out there.</p>
<p>I usually just look back over whatever CR practice section I just took, and make flashcards for the words I didn't know. Usually not more than 3-4 per day.</p>
<p>i study one alphabet in the dictionary everyday.</p>
<p>Ouch! How did you make it through, like, I?</p>
<p>I didn't study all that much, plan to for Oct...</p>
<p>My teacher in the class I took had us do 7 words between each class and try to use them like 20 times throughout the few days. I'd say no more than a few a day if you want to retain them at all. Not sure what my plan is yet, really.</p>
<p>I used to read a lot so I know what every word means. </p>
<p>Just kidding</p>
<p>But not really.</p>
<p>I memorize a whole list of the same letter</p>
<p>i study one alphabet in the dictionary everyday.</p>
<p>cooool............</p>
<p>but i just cannot imagine how you did that?</p>
<p>I study like 15~30 words form the sparknotes 1000 common word list</p>
<p>and i review them everyday..............</p>
<p>Zero......</p>
<p>DinaZhang- each alphabet has approximately 56-60 pages depending on what kind of dictionary you use- PLUS there's a tonne of useless words(eg. places,animals,unconventional words,etc). So it hasn't been tough at all. I read the definition carefully, observe how the word is used in sentences and form a sentence of my own using the word. And I pretty much remember all the definitions so far(for letters starting with A and B). Even the weird,unconventional words.
One day(a couple of days ago) i was lying in bed memorizing 'high frequency SAT vocab words' from THREE different sources AND later,looking for lit term definitions online(paradox,personification-i'm taking the lit subject test this fall,etc.). I just finally said- "FU CK THIS.......I'm going to buy and read a dictionary." So i tossed the three 'Vocab word' books into the trash, picked up my keys and walked to the book store. I thoroughly looked through all the dictionaries and picked out the "Concise Oxford American Dictionary" <a href="highly%20recommended!">b</a>**.</p>
<p>just read out of the dictionary. that is the best source for words. I tried it. it really helped</p>
<p>I don't study really...is it just me or is studying 3000-word lists in hopes that some of them will appear and gain you say, 2 points, on the CR section somewhat futile?</p>
<p>I learned 1500 words and saw at least 15 of them on the June test.</p>
<p>I've learned maybe 100, and I see them ALLLL the time on practice sections. It is VERY worth it to study vocab.</p>
<p>I'm not so good at memorizing vocab straight from a list, so I just read a lot instead. There is a series of books (can't remember what they're called, though) that contain numerous SAT words. You read the story (I think Frankenstein is one of them) and the SAT words are highlighted with definitions on the side page.</p>
<p>I did find, actually, that one of the words I learned for Human Geography (gerrymandering) showed up on the June SAT-- I probably wouldn't have known it otherwise.</p>
<p>Zero, I never seem to have the energy to do it.</p>
<p>20-30 per day off a most common SAT word list</p>
<p>I don't buy books or lists from which to study vocab. In my opinion lists and books for vocab is like paying to to work. I read Time magazine and look up all unknown vocab words from there. Many words from TIME have shown up in the CR practice section. Also, since I took AP english language thsi year, my teacher dedicated an entire unit to AP vocab, and I found that almost EVERY SINGLE one of those "AP" words are in the SAT's. This is another reason I do not like lists, because they tend to have all vocab words of the same level and style: either too easy or too arcane or too obscure. </p>
<p>I also recommend using the GRE vocab list(s) for anyone really interested in exploring some more challenging vocab. It is weird that all the vocab words I studied are from Non-SAT related sources, and yet they appear in the SATs very frequently.</p>
