<p>Last summer I found a wonderful posting that had lists if SAT words. There was a large list of words that was broken down into about 10b different lists of about 1.5 pages each. My daughter used these and she went from a 590 CR in May to a 750 in Oct - YEAHH! Now I want my younger D to start workimg through the list but I cannot locate the thread (and of course my older D threw out her hardcopies when she was done). Does anyone know the one I mean and can you help me find it the link? Thanks!</p>
<p>That sounds like a great list. Vocab is the major factor keeping my younger S’s CR score down so I hope someone can help with the link!</p>
<p>Go to Google and type “SAT Word Lists : Vocabulary Word lists for the SAT” into the search box. It should be the first result that you see. I have not had a chance to check anything else out.</p>
<p>There were links to 10 different llists in one posting, I saved a few of the lists but I don’t have all of them. This was one of them, des this look familar to anyone?</p>
