<p>Are we talking about the Direct Hits Vocabulary volume 1 or both the volumes?</p>
<p>I have word power made easy....found it in my dad's old stuff lol! Its good....if you have like an year to prepare!</p>
<p>What if i learn all the 3500 words + the words in Princeton review and rocket review ?</p>
<p>Thanks for the great post! </p>
<p>I'd like to mention that Kaplan's Words to Go audio review for the Ipod had some of these hits too. I wish Direct Hits or Rocket Review would come as an audio review, I'm an auditory learner :(</p>
<p>Any body know where to buy an e-book of directhits?</p>

<p>you are truly amazing. thanks for all the hard work. I was just about to start memorizing Sparknotes 1000, now I'm going for Direct Hits...thanks very much!</p>
<p>Where can i get Direct Hits vocabulary?</p>
<p>how about this:
reading books and freerice.com</p>
<p>it's free, more useful, and less sad</p>
<p>i think princeton review's word smart I,II, and GRe pretty much covers everything lol. but heck,lots of words>.<</p>
<p>thank you very much for your tremendous efforts.
it helped me a lt</p>
<p>Damn... the May SAT had some easy vocab.</p>
<p>where can i get direct hits vocabulary?</p>
<p>Is it an online list like spark notes?</p>
<ol>
<li>Direct Hits Vocabulary: 434 words; 14 indirect hits; 31 words per indirect hit</li>
</ol>
<p>I don't understand this; 14 indirect hits, 31 words per indirect hit, what do they mean?</p>
<p>it means that 14 out of the 434 words on that list were a wrong answer on the test.</p>
<p>So where can i get this Direct Hits Vocabulary list?</p>
<p>You can grab it online or on amazon - 31 words per indirect means for every 31 words, 1 word was on the SAT.</p>
<p>What about this:
1. Direct Hits Vocabulary: 434 words; 10 hits; 43.4 words per hit
2. Rocket Review Core Words: 323 words; 7 hits; 46.1 words per hit</p>
<p>10 hits?43.4 words per hit?
7 hits? 46.1 words per hit?
Are they supposed to test on the same amount of hits?</p>
<p>As I've said above you, the 43.4 words per hit means, that for on average, every 43.4 words you memorized 1 word appeared on the SAT in the May SAT. The SAT does not designate a specified number of words per test; this is just what happened to occur.</p>
<p>Belly - a direct hit is when a word is on a list and is an answer on an SAT. An indirect hit is when a word is on a list and is a wrong answer on an SAT. Direct Hits are best. But indirect hits can help with process of elimination. </p>
<p>Direct Hits was the top performing book/list on the March, May and June SATs. That means it had the best (meaning lowest ratio) of hits per words. In other words, Direct Hits is very efficient.</p>
<p>Lolilaughed is right. You can grab a copy of DH at Amazon or at Lulu. IMO the examples are the best of any book.</p>
