<p>Is direct hits the hands down book for vocabulary or Kaplan's etc? Im using princeton's review vocabulary book and finding it helpful. What does everybody think? </p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>My DS used both volumes of Direct Hits in addition to working through the Blue Book tests and thought they were helpful…His CR was 760…</p>
<p>Direct Hits is definitely all you need to get pretty good results on the vocab. I used DH and memorized Spark Notes as a supplement, and I didn’t get any vocab questions wrong :)</p>
<p>Thanks for this both of you.
Risbu, did you have a strong vocabulary to begin with or did you actually need to start from scratch in terms of learning not your everyday words?
Can you post a link up to the word list from spark notes that you are talking about?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

DH is plenty to memorize. I recommend making flashcards (Quizlet is great for this)</p>
