| ^ DEFINITELY passage based reading.
Nobody can (or has) memorized the dictionary. You are BOUND to see an unfamiliar word on the SAT. Focus on vocab when you have free time, don't take out time for it. I'd say learn 20-30 words a day. That's it. And by learn, I mean don't just memorize the word; know it! Use it in sentences, your English class, or whatever.
Good luck! =] |
