<p>To those of you who studied the 1000 most common SAT words from sparknotes, what did you think of it, did it raise your score? By how much? Do you recommend studying this vocabulary list? How long did it take you to finish the whole list?</p>

2

<p>This is a little premature...but I'm about halfway through and I have been seeing a decent amount of words in the sentence completions and passages. It has increased by raw score by 2-3 points. I think it's definetly worthwhile.</p>

3

<p>2-3 points = worthwhile?!</p>

4

<p>how many words do you study each day?</p>

5

<p>...I'd find 2-3 points worthwhile... My CR really needs to go up. And besides, that could potentially mean a 30 point difference.</p>

6

<p>Holy Crap 30 Points That Means I Can Finally Have My Dream Of Harvard Fulfilled</p>

7

<p>Well I have a 690 now so those 2-3 points would have given me at least a 720. So yeah it is worthwhile to me.</p>

8

<p>20-30 a day.</p>

9

<p>"Well I have a 690 now so those 2-3 points would have given me at least a 720."
i don't see the difference between those two scores</p>

10

<p>i think a 30 point difference is a pretty good increase. karkaputto, why are you being so critical? let him study if he wants...no need to reprimand him for it..</p>

11

<p>karkaputto everyone has different standards...</p>

12

<p>Anything to raise scores is worth it. Don't criticize.</p>

13

<p>.well, i think its pretty good</p>

<p>you can study that along with the Barron's 500 high-frequency word list</p>

14

<p>The difference between a 690 and a 720 is definitely huge. I can understand why fweb1125 is trying to do that, I'm in the same situation</p>

15

<p>i just skimmed over the list the night before the sat, and it helped me with at 2 sentance completion questions. i wouldnt study the list, even though most you should already know, but skimming the list before the test is a good idea.</p>

16

<p>do you know where to get this list?> k thanks</p>
