You know what I realized about ALL the SCs?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Every single word (ok about 95%) was in barrons 3500 word list. ALl versions of the test included. I think its THE best in vocab preparation (it even had apropos :)). So if you have time and need help in vocab STUDY that list and study ALL of it. i did it in 20 days (worked at it 5 pages / day).</p>

2

<p>damn, i see you EVERYWHERE on cc!</p>

3

<p>Man, I need to get ahold of that list.</p>

<p>(Unless I'm not retaking, in which case I would blissfully throw away all my vocabulary studying materials.)</p>

4

<p>the list is online--you just have to search for it</p>

5

<p>Yeah, I found this link: <a href="http://www.postech.ac.kr/%7Egla/gre/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.postech.ac.kr/~gla/gre/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I'm gonna download it from school in case it's a messed up file.</p>

6

<p>it's not a messed up file.</p>

<p>get the pdf version. lol</p>

7

<p>haha all right.</p>

<p>But I can't decide if I'm still studying vocab or not.</p>

8

<p>Cooooool. It's 86 freaking pages though.</p>

9

<p>if you notice, all of the words grouped together have sorta the same meaning.</p>

10

<p>I actually studied off the blue book - I just wrote down the words I didnt know and memorised them.
I memorised 3/4 of the words from the blue book and only 1 came up in the oct test- pugnacious.</p>

11

<p>Yeah, that sucks.</p>

<p>all the words come from dictionary.com's word of the day. 2000-2004</p>

12

<p>Trust me everyone. Barrons 3500 words is the best thing that i ever have done. There are only a few words on the oct. test that weren't there (egalatarian or w/e it is and streamlining).</p>

13

<p>barrons 3500 rules. memorizing the list (particularly as international) is a pain and probably the most stupefying thing you'll ever have done (like constantly hitting your head against the wall), but it pays off. </p>

<p>knew 90% of the vocab on the october test. the rest was narrowing down.</p>

14

<p>Why does it say 4,842?</p>

<p>That IS the 3500 word list, right?</p>

15

<p>Hmm, 86 pages. Each page has like 60 words...</p>

<p>That's like 5000 words...</p>

16

<p>haha, I was wondering about that, too.</p>

17

<p>or you could use TI-DICT...</p>

18

<p>The barrons list is like a dictionary , its too long. I studied vocabulary words off Sparknotes 1000 list and all the words on the Oct14 test were from the list. If you've got less time, you can study the Sparknotes list. I scored 750 btw. Giving it again this December to get my Writing up.</p>
