<p>hey everyone. I'm trying to order vocab books online, and can't find a site that has Direct Hits 2010, Core Vocab and Toughest Words.</p>
<p>What's a site that has these books? Also, whats a site that has Rocket Review books? All of the sites I found will ship in like 2 months and stuff!</p>
<p>can’t you find them on amazon?</p>
<p>^They are on Amazon.</p>
<p>Barnes and Nobles doesn’t have them, but Amazon does :)</p>
<p>I tried amazon. It says that Direct Hit core vocab. is out of stock. and the toughest words takes 1-3 months to ship. Like W T F ? lol. </p>
<p>I bought a Barron’s book, which has pictures that go with 300 words. I don’t have the book on me, I don’t remember the name, but its a blue book. I also bought a Princeton Review book that is specifically for the CR and Writing sections (i suck at those) and it has about 200+ words from the “Hit Parade”.</p>
<p>Do you think those words should suffice? Or should I get the Direct Hits later on too?</p>
<p>^They probably will. The problem with the Barron books and the other vocab review books, so I’ve heard, is that they have a lower “hit” rate than Direct Hits, so you may end up memorizing more words than you actually need. I only looked through the Barron 3000 mini dictionary when I was studying for the SAT, never read Direct HIts at all, and did just fine on the SAT.</p>
<p>oh ok. This barron’s book only has 300 words, but it has funny cartoons and sentences that go with them, so at least the memorization won’t seem like a dull task. I should be able to fly through that book and it’s take a couple weeks to finish the 200+ words that came with the Princeton Review book for CR and Writing.</p>
<p>Are most of the words in those 2 the same words in Direct Hits? Or should I get Direct Hits too? Any other recommendations in addition to the 2 word lists/books I have?..btw how long did it take to memorize the 3000 word Mini Dictionary?</p>
<p>^I skimmed through the book, picked out the words I didn’t know, and tried to study only those few hundred words. So, overall, not that long.</p>
<p>oh, yea, my vocabulary sucks, so like, i’d probably not know most of the words…i guess it will take me a while then</p>
<p>my mom bought me this vocab videos kind of cute and helpful: [SAT</a> Vocabulary Words | SAT, ACT, GRE Vocab Test Prep | Videos For SAT Practice, Preparation & Tutoring ? Vocab Videos](<a href=“http://vocabvideos.com/]SAT”>http://vocabvideos.com/) she said it cost something like $10/month and if you buy longer time it’s cheaper per month. I like funny videos so this helps me.</p>
<p>thanks everyone!</p>
<p>^ I just looked at Amazon. Type in Direct Hits Vocabulary 2010. They have copies of both Volume 1 (2010) and Volume 2 (2010).</p>
