Next Best Vocab. Book after Direct Hits

I've finished all of the vocab in direct hits volume 1 and 2, and I finished the Princeton 250 words as well. What book for SAT vocab should I use next?

it's hard to cram vocab... if you have time get wordly wise 3000 (original) and start there... we used if for 8-11 grade and my dd never had to study vocab

have you considered apps? i used Memorize SAT and GRE vocabulary | myvocabapp and it's worked wonders for me ~4000 words under 2 months -- 85% retention rate, can't beat that!

DH and Sparknotes are all you need! Don't waste your time trying to memorize 3000 (Barrons) words. You won't need them.
Quizlet is a great site/app to help learn these vocab. You need a (free) account though to take advantage of all the features.
Just as a point of reference, I memorized every single word of DH and SN and didn't get any sentence completion wrong on the SAT
