<p>I'm immigrant. English is not my mother language.
I think one of my weaknesses is vocabulary.
The problem is that I don't know my current level and I don't know what to do with it.
I've read Xiggi's method and Silverturtle's method and I still don't know what to do.
Please feel free to give me any advice.</p>
<p>Here are the words from 09-10 official SAT practice test.
To give you an example, I classified as the words I know and the words I don't know.
No particular order. Just any words from page 37 - 40.</p>
<p>Buy a dictionary and also there’s two volumes (at least I think here’s only two) titled Direct Hits that seem very popular and effective on the SAT. You can find Direct Hits on Amazon.com.</p>
<p>i used the princeton reviews 500 words to know flash cards and the Sparknotes SAT book with 250 hardest SAT vocab words and I knew every word on the last SAT so it definitely worked =). i just carried the cards with me and flipped through them once a day for a month or so</p>
<p>I have Barron’s How to Prepare for the SAT 23rd edition. I studied all of the High-Frequency and Hot Prospects words, and I found that those were the only essential ones for all of the practice tests I’ve taken as well as the Oct. 2010 SAT and the Saturday 2010 PSAT.</p>
<p>By the way, I’ve typed up all the Hot Prospects/High-Frequency words that I personally didn’t know. I put them in a Word document and then right-clicked for synonyms while I was reviewing in lieu of looking up each word.</p>
<p>When I was getting familiar with most of the words, I put Track Changes on and deleted words that I knew. That way I could see which ones I still needed to review as well as being able to see which ones I have already memorized (to ensure that I haven’t deleted them but forgotten what they mean).</p>
