<p>the index of the book is no longer available on amazon((((( now i have no idea which volume to order(( damn(</p>
<p>I used both volumes. I can't believe how many hits there were on the Sunday test. Not too many took the test but we are trying hard to remember as much as we can.</p>
<p>Barron's Hot Words: 396 words - 11 Hits = 36 words per hit</p>
<p>ive never studied vocab before but this was so great, almost impeccable. i barely had to study past the two main lists</p>
<p>Dark Knight, how do you think that PR Hit Parade + Direct Hits would fair?
Also, do you have a post containing all the SAT Words (ie. Jan 2007, Oct 2007, March 2008, etc)</p>
<p>Thank you :)</p>
<p>^Direct Hits + PR is good. However, Direct Hits + Rocket Review Core Words is performing better. Sorry but I did not do posts for the Jan 07, Oct 07 and March 08 SATs. January 07 and Oct 07 were released tests thru Q and A. Maybe you can find someone who has copies of these tests.</p>
<p>I did RocketReview and Direct Hits, nd luckily, I didn't get stuck! RR is better than PR deffo, but as DK said, combine these 3!</p>
<p>Word Smart: 1505 words: 16 hits = 94 words per hit
I memorized whole book and I think I got every sentence completion right</p>
<p>A no brainer: DH + PP + RR = 500 words and 16 Hits! Why memorize 1500 words when you can get the same results by learning 500 words.</p>
<p>dark night, how do you recommend memorizing the words from rocket review and princeton hit parade? flashcards? some other way? I just don't get how people memorizes these long lists like gruber's and barron's...</p>
<p>try Flashcards</a>, vocabulary memorization, and studying games | Quizlet
someone already made RR and PR vocab lists there....</p>
<p>thanks for the tip flibb! :)</p>
<p>I have little time. Is direct hits(1+2) all I need to ace the sectence completetions or should I use RR. I have little time before the SAT. I ace at everything but vocab. Since I have little time which book should I use (I can only choose one)?</p>
<p>I used both to get ready for the December SAT and found when I took the test that Direct Hits was a bigger help. I aced the sentence completions!</p>
<p>After using DH, how many sentence completions did you usually miss? Was it a really big improvement? </p>
<p>I'm missing around 4 each time. Will using DH help me reduce that to like 1-2?</p>
<p>I used the DH books to prepare for the 08 PSAT. I went from missing 6 last year to missing 3 this year and raised my score from 56 to 65. I just got the booklet and of the 5 hard sentence completions 3 answers were Direct Hits words and the other 2 had DH words as answer choices so I could figure out the right answer.</p>
<p>On the Dec. SAT I didn't miss any sentence completions and I also knew vocabulary words that were in the reading passages. My score went up to 700 and I am working really hard to raise it even more in January. I don't know if DH will help you get all of the SCs correct but I would not have gotten toady right on the December SAT if I had not studied Direct Hits. The example in the book really helped me understand what it meant.</p>
<p>What other books did you use to prepare for the critical reading?</p>
<p>Juste memorize the DH and start doing practice tests from the BB.Memorize each word you don`t know .Thats it</p>
<p>Thanks, I'm just getting started with all this.</p>
<p>Thanks, I'm just getting started with all this.</p>
<p>Oops, sorry about the double post. As I said I am just getting started with all of this.</p>
