Don’t try to memorize 3000 words. Even if you could completely digest each word in 2 minutes, that would still take you 100 hours–enough time to grasp some genuinely interesting subject. Just read a lot and pay attention to roots. For example, “fallacious” appeared on this year’s SAT. Even if you have never heard the word before, you can probably recognize that it looks like “fallacy.”

Having said that, if you are struggling with the vocab, definitely get Direct Hits. Takes a couple hours to read and the words are definitely relevant.
