<p>1) my vocab
2) my grammar</p>
<p>Everything else is OK. What's the best way to go for these? Books? etc.</p>
<p>PS I've already done all 8 tests in the CB Blue book.</p>
<p>Grammatix, site looks like a hoax but it owns.</p>
<p>go get the princeton review book for SAT II writing or the new SAT. They have tonnes of grammar in it.
Vocab is not something u can build up in a month or 2</p>
<p>Vocab is worthless, I didn't study vocab and with using grammatix I went from a 590 to a 780 between freshman and soph year... 1 1/2 years time. Didn't study vocab at all, just used the recomendations in grammatix and went through the SAT tests in it and dominated my score. I imagine though the point increase was also due to natural increase because I was reading a lot more my freshman year towards the end. Also, it helps a lot with grammar and specifically CR. I had a 30 on my ACT reading section the beginning of freshman year and I've increased that to 36 on my last 3 practice ACT exams. 6 points in a year in pretty good if you ask me.</p>
<p>... hehe you're just going to every thread with this grammatix thing, huh? XD I don't see how there can be a systematic way to get things on the sentence completion when you don't even know the words, though.</p>
<p>As for grammar, get any ADVANCED grammar book (not ones that are like 'use a semicolon when...'). I don't recommend "reading" like people tell you to do because a lot of times, the authors don't use correct grammar themselves!</p>
<p>thanks everyone! sounds like a grammar book is the way to go...any suggestions that aren't super expensive?</p>
<p>what is the best book of vocab words? PR has one w/ like 800...if I learn those will that help?</p>
<p>Anyone else? </p>
<p>(thank you!)</p>
<p>Well, I recommend you get a latin vocab book. I mean one that teaches latin (and greek, if you want) root words and then that book may have words with the root word in them and you can study those.</p>
<p>If you just want a vocabulary book, I'm sure those are not hard to find. OUr school is using 'Vocabulary Workshop" but its a series and its 8 bucks.</p>
