<p>Hi guys, I am wondering if anyone used PR's WordSmart I or II. If so, is it worth reading the main list of words at all or should the hit list suffice? Main List looks kinda big, and the hit list isn't...So it'd be helpful if anyone else knows out of experience or something. Any opinions are appreciated.</p>
<p>I read both. I find the enormous number of vocabulary is not tractable for me. Yet, I learnt many of the vocab. by rote memory, a process which took a year or two. </p>
<p>I guess it is definitely great for people with eidetic memory.</p>
<p>Wait so would you it is even necessary to learn the list of MAIN words if I got the hit parade down?</p>
<p>Well, I was thinking about Direct Hits and frequently appearing words on the SAT (not the January, May and October administrations–they are divulged in the public by the College Board). The former, you can find the books in amazon.com; the latter, somewhere in CC.</p>
<p>any idea what i should search for?</p>
<p>I memorized wordsmart I,II and the GRE one. They were pretty good and pretty extensive, but I think direct hit volumes are better. I know most of the words in DH after memorizing those from wordsmart.
The ones I memorized were the main ones in the book. Hit parade is the small section at the end right? I didn’t really bother looking at that because they only give u the definition of a word, without using it in a sentence or two, so I find that difficult to consume.</p>
<p>Ah Ok. i am fine with definitions. thanks, dude</p>
