No, that's not how you get a 2400. You get a 2400 by being naturally inclined toward the test and by having experience with the types of questions. Memorizing thousands of words is useless. I didn't memorize a single word from a word-list and only missed one SC. Silly mistake, too.
If you lack the aforementioned "natural inclination," then spending every waking moment studying will certainly improve your score. However, the implied characterization of someone who obtains a perfect score as having excessively prepared for the exam is false.
Ya...studying should primarily consist of practice tests. I took the 15 or so official ones there are available. So AOM, please don't think all 2400s had to read 5-6 hours a day or something ridiculous like that lol.
zomg you people think he was serious?! obviously, memorizing 1000+ words and reading 5-6 hours a day is physically impossible while maintaining grades and ECs. haha you people don't recognize satire when you see it....
