<p>No spoilers please :) Did Direct Hits help you guys on the October SAT? Did it help you tremendously or only a little bit. Thanks.</p>
<p>Tremendously!!!</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>Well, I had 3500 words from Barron’s that helped me Voluminously! I bet you will find A LOTS of words, just reiterated in both books!</p>
<p>Direct hits alone would not have helped much, but combined with my existing vocabulary, it helped tremendously in elimination.</p>
<p>Direct Hits was very helpful on this SAT. There weren’t as many direct hits, but many of the words from DH helped to eliminate possible answers</p>
<p>I used DH2010 and I have to say, this was the smartest decision I made regarding anything SAT. This is THE book for SAT vocab.</p>
<p>I used the DH 2011 editions this year and they were tremendously helpful. On the SCs, there were a number of correct answers and I was able to answer many questions by knowing the meaning of the wrong answer choices. I was really surprised how much vocabulary was in the reading questions. DH really helped me there too.</p>
<p>It helped me immensely. :)</p>
<p>Praise God for Direct Hits!</p>
<p>Helped me, though not immensely (on international SAT).</p>
<p>anyone have like a direct hits link ?</p>
<p>penchant
eclectic
antipathy
munificent
intractable
dilatory</p>
<p>just some words on the CR section that I remember from the test that DH had in their books</p>
<p>I think it helped me tremendously</p>
<p>DH was a HUGE help. Key SC hits include ECLECTIC, PROLIFIC, INIMICAL, CIRCUMSPECT, ERRONEOUS, and DIFFIDENT. Still working on the Critical Reading passages. Definitely lots of hits.</p>
<p>Ahaha Direct Hits (both vol.'s) is all I need on SATs. I either know the correct choice immediately, or I have learned enough from DH, to elinate 3/4th’s of the choices. Usually I get the answer, or I’m left with a 50% chance (rare).</p>
<p>I just WISH precocious was in direct hits.</p>
<p>Arthua - precocious is in the DH 2011 edition vol. 1 in the example for word #123 - prodigy.</p>
<p>guys is there a link for directs hit that you can share. 
please!</p>
<p>Direct Hits was pretty good in narrowing words, but it didn’t have as many ‘hits’ as I would have imagined.</p>
<p>I knew only first volume and 15-20 words from second, I failed s.c.</p>
