<p>Ok my PSATs are in october and my i am probably going to take my Sats for the first time either at the end of this year or the beginning of 2010. I feel I am doing well in my Studying, but i really want to make sure I know vocab. I heard the direct hits book are the best, but now i know the 2010 edition should be coming out around mid september. My question is should I wait or will the old books be fine to use for Sats in december or January. I feel the old books might have outdated words and would be worthless to use. Thanks!</p>
<p>They’re not outdated. In fact, they’re all recycled in the 2010 edition.</p>
<p>it really doesn’t make a difference which one you get. If you have the time, then wait to get the 2010 edition. If you don’t then just get the old edition. 3 months should be more than enough to memorize the words, so i would go with the newer one. it’s your call though.</p>
<p>the new '10 book has 35 new words…</p>
<p>Thanks im jus going to wait!</p>
<p>The old books are fine. Most of the new content is examples, not actually new words. There are only a few new words, and even less words taken out.</p>
<p>^ actually the old book has 365 entries… the new book has 400 entries. all of which are new. </p>
<p>do the math.</p>
<p>^ The count of new words should be somewhere in the 40s… maybe even the 50s, I know.</p>
