<p>So far after reading post after post I have concluded:
Blue Book (practice tests)
Gruber's Complete SAT Guide 2008 (Math)
The Rocket Review Revolution (Critical Reading/Writing)
Vocabulary?!?
I need a solid book for learning crucial vocabulary. A book that has worked well in the past for you. Any suggestions, stories, or revisions of my current list are welcome.
Thanks to all</p>
<p>Just use the vocab sections from the books you're already buying.</p>
<p>Good question. I just got back my delayed May scores and now I have to raise my CR score. The Princeton Review Hit Parade and Barron's Hot Words are solid choices. I just received a copy of Direct Hits Vocabulary. It looks good. Examples are funny.</p>
<p>where can i find the hit parade?</p>
<p>^
In Princeton review.</p>
<p>The hit parade is in Cracking the SAT.</p>
<p>I would also suggest making flashcards. 3x5 cards are cheap and if you write the words and their meanings down, you can learn them a lot faster. My English teacher said it takes 3 exposures to a new word to commit it to memory. Well, that works for other things too, like important dates in history, but it definitely helps with vocab!</p>
<p>The Hit Parade is in PR's Cracking the SAT
Hot Words can be ordered online at Barrons</a> Educational Books
