<p>I have Barron's SAT Vocab Flashcards
The Insider's Essential Guide to SAT Critical Reading and Vocabulary (Updated Direct Hits Essentially)
And people also told me to just know all the words from the blue book questions as I take the tests...
I'm overwhelmed and I have until March 8th, what do I use? </p>
<p>Hello</p>
<p>I heard direct hits was the top dawg so start off with that one.</p>
<p>The Essential Guide is basically an update to that, so it’s better.
But I also have flashcards…I DON’T KNOW IF I should use both together.
And for the book, I used to take notes but that took too long, I’m just going to read it through</p>
<p>I studied vocab from Direct Hits and stuff I missed on BB practice tests (CB reuses a lot of these words-- even random ones like “flotsam”). I found Direct Hits to be more beneficial to my critical reading score because the set-up of the book helped me learn vocab really efficiently. That worked for me. But do what makes learning vocab the easiest for you. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed, but just remember that there’s no right or wrong method to learn SAT vocabulary. </p>
<p>Best of luck! </p>
<p>Thanks!
I bought the flashcards to study when I’m at school or on the bus.
And I don’t think I’m going to also study vocab from BB, that would just be too much.</p>
<p>Wait until scores come back on thursday so you can see what you need to improve.</p>
<p>I’m sure I need to improve CR the most though…Math I’m good with and Writing I’m good with too. </p>
