<p>which is better for the CR vocab words?
my grade is crappy:500 :(</p>
<p>help plz
thank you</p>
<p>I haven’t done SparkNotes’ Smart Novels (bro has but he didn’t like them at all)… </p>
<p>I did Barron’s Hot words… (along with my dad and bro for two months every night). It was such a good experience and I learnt like 500 words. (Sadly forgotten some of them now because haven’t reviewed). But I think you should try out Barron’s Hot words - make flash cards for at least 20 words everyday - get a sibling, friend, parent and start flipping those cards! </p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Good luck!
I started with a CR of 500 too. I couldn’t even go in the 600 range (and it didn’t matter how many practice tests I took). Then it suddenly broke 600… and I never saw the face of 500 again! 
My superscore CR is now a 690. 
Hopefully will break 700~750 in next SAT.</p>
