I don’t know if you need another list; I studied Sparknotes’ list and got 800 on critical reading. One other thing I did try was to group all the words on the Sparknotes list by general meaning (good, bad, shiny, big, etc.) a few weeks before the test and study those groups, since the SAT only expects you to know a word’s general meaning.

You might also want to try a few practice tests and analyze your mistakes. It could always be your approach to the vocab problems, not your vocab, that’s causing the problem.
