Vocabulary for SAT-Really important

<p>I just memorized every single Direct Hit word. Im taking the SAT in January and want to get at least 17-18 of the sentence completion right. Do you guys have any suggestions what other vocab list will be good to study or with Direct Hits suffice?</p>

<p>Its always great to look at othersources. Maybe you can find Princeton Review’s hit parade online or something…but Direct Hits is great. In the last 3 practice tests I have taken (I have read volume 1 and only half of volume 2 of DH), I got only 2 sentence completion wrong. DH mixed with PR is a deadly combo in my opinion!</p>

<p>So you really thing that PR with DH will be worth it?</p>

<p>Helped me a lot, I rarely get q’s on the sentence completion wrong anymore…the ones I get wrong I just don’t read correctly. PR sells a 500 card sat box with vocab. Most of the vocab I knew (you probably do too) but like 100-200 words were absolutely vital IMO and I didn’t know them before I got the box. Check amazon.</p>

<p>hey guys, 2 questions. First, in DH, there’s always additional words in the quick review…like 1. ______ then in the back it will have __<strong><em>, </em></strong>…should I memorize these words too?</p>

<p>Also, people are telling me memorizing words won’t help on test day…
If I memorize all 400 words, how much should I expect to miss out of 19 sentence completions? Jan SAT is my first one btw…</p>

<p>DH and PR helped me out A Lot. Most of those appear throughout the SAT, so even knowing them so you can eliminate them as answer choices helps a lot.</p>

<p>I have that box but i put it away since i got DH guess ill study them as well thanks drac :slight_smile: </p>

<p>@apstudent1 you should know every single word in the index of DH :slight_smile: absolutely</p>

<p>Index also? Alright thanks so much because I have a lot to memorize. I only had gotten through 100 words, and I forgot some of them…</p>

<p>Hopefully it’ll help because people were telling me how possibly none of the words could show up…=/. I guess they don’t know about DH?</p>
