Direct Hits vs Essential 500?

I just used direct hits, so I’m not fully entitled to making a distinction between the two books. I did find a free list on quizlet and studied off of that, and most of the words on the SAT actually were consistent with direct hits. I think that out of all of the vocab questions on the actual exam, there was only one question of which I was not sure the answer to.
I also studied off of the sparknotes 1000, but I never got through all of them- I’d say a good third though. Same with Barron’s. I kind of just searched vocab lists and studied off of them.
