I have to agree with SirJacksoffalot.

I took the SAT yesterday. And to be honest, atleast one to two words per question on the sentence completions were from Direct Hits. 3 of the answers were straight from the book.

It’s really inefficient to memorize 3000 words, unless you have a huge amount of time. I was skeptical about Direct Hits too, but after yesterday I’m really thankful for it. Memorizing Direct Hits as well as 3000 words would probably guarantee you full marks on the SC.

But then again, you could be smart about studying and just learn the roots/prefixes/suffixes and Direct Hits. As long as you have been reading challenging books, you probably know a lot of vocab already.
