DH is great. If you feel insecure after studying DH, you can buy 300 Essential Words. They are both great books.

On a side note, I took the Dec SAT (although I ended up canceling it), and I didn’t have trouble with any SC questions. Perhaps this was because the vocabulary list was relatively easy to guess (tendencious -> tendency). In addition, process of elimination facilitated solving the vocabulary questions. I just bought 300 Essential Words, and this seems like a great book. I would recommend this to anyone who might be a little short on time. Little under 500 words on DH vs. 300 words.

One more note to OP: I don’t think DH has 670 words. Last time I checked, it was little short of 500 words. Can you check that? Also, may I ask how you came across 300 Essential Words? Amazon says that this was only published less than a week ago… (December 22, 2011)
