<p>I just did a little matching and saw most of the words on that list</p>
<p>Along with hundreds of other words.
imho, time is better spent prepping for something like math or writing-- things that have patterns that always, always repeat.</p>
<p>Play SAT/ACT/GRE</a> Vocabulary Game |VocabKing.com . That's were I got 'olfactory' from.</p>
<p>but that is way to easy for me^^</p>
<p>I recalled olfactory from science class</p>
<p>Olfactory-my college psychology teacher(take college course in highschool) focused more on science than psychology, but I didn't mind, and that's where I got this. </p>
<p>Remuneration-I'm not Catholic but I go to a Catholic school, and we read this document by the Church about the working conditions of workers and that's where I got remuneration. </p>
<p>I looked at about 70% of the Sparknotes list after January, but didn't look at it for the 3 weeks leading up to the test. I looked over the whole thing the morning of the SAT and it helped.</p>
<p>I agree with elanorci</p>
<p>Spanish helped me with "olfactory--" the verb for "to smell" is "oler," so I got it immediately :)</p>
<p>Other than that, I didn't use lists at all. I didn't know a couple of words, but I was able to use elimination/looks for roots/common sense to figure them out. So far I don't think I've missed any vocab words.</p>
<p>i remembered remuneration because at the bottom of all those "i lost 30 pounds on hydroquazzzonitaphine" ads, they always write in tiny print, "results may vary. people photoed have been remunerated." and i was like, what is that? so i looked it up.
i love magazines.</p>
<p>Funny about remuneration, I always thought this word was "renumerate" so then I saw that it was not the word that I supposed to be the right word but figured I shouldn't change it anyway...</p>
<p>I got the obstreperous question wrong which is SO annoying because it was completely a stupid mistake. I went much too fast.</p>
<p>Hoho you should have studied the rocket review list!</p>
<p>what about Wordsmart? heard it's pretty useful if you memorize book 1 + 2</p>
<p>According to the "Which Vocab list did the best?" thread the Sparknotes 1000 word list produced 11 hits on the June 08 SAT. In other words, one hit for every 100 words. The PR Hit Parade (1 hit per 35 words) and Direct Hits Vocabulary (1 hit per 27 words) did much better. I am curious about the Rocket Review. Going to check it out at Borders later today.</p>
