| 1. Direct Hits Vocabulary: 434 words; 14 indirect hits; 31 words per indirect hit
I don't understand this; 14 indirect hits, 31 words per indirect hit, what do they mean? | |

| it means that 14 out of the 434 words on that list were a wrong answer on the test.
So where can i get this Direct Hits Vocabulary list? | |

| You can grab it online or on amazon - 31 words per indirect means for every 31 words, 1 word was on the SAT. | |

| What about this:
1. Direct Hits Vocabulary: 434 words; 10 hits; 43.4 words per hit
2. Rocket Review Core Words: 323 words; 7 hits; 46.1 words per hit
10 hits?43.4 words per hit?
7 hits? 46.1 words per hit?
Are they supposed to test on the same amount of hits? | |

| As I've said above you, the 43.4 words per hit means, that for on average, every 43.4 words you memorized 1 word appeared on the SAT in the May SAT. The SAT does not designate a specified number of words per test; this is just what happened to occur. | |

| Belly - a direct hit is when a word is on a list and is an answer on an SAT. An indirect hit is when a word is on a list and is a wrong answer on an SAT. Direct Hits are best. But indirect hits can help with process of elimination.
Direct Hits was the top performing book/list on the March, May and June SATs. That means it had the best (meaning lowest ratio) of hits per words. In other words, Direct Hits is very efficient.
Lolilaughed is right. You can grab a copy of DH at Amazon or at Lulu. IMO the examples are the best of any book. | |

| ...How many 3500 word lists does Barron's produce? If there is only one such list, I remember seeing "euphonious" on it. | |

| ^ I'm sure not ALL the level 5 words are found. If they are, the pr and mcgraw hill lists are probably way too dense. | |
