New Consensus on SAT Vocab Book?

[HONORLIONS]

<p>

In the case of the so-called analysis of the effectiveness of words there is no … cooking at all, except for cooking the data by selecting a list of words that are entirely subjective and mostly laughable in terms of difficulty. The contribution of the various list of words to a higher score is between nothing to very little, except for students who have a large handicap with English. </p>

<p>A legitimate preparation to the test renders the study of word lists, including DH, entirely worthless.

<p>I think many CC users would agree that studying vocabulary truly does help and is, very often, a necessity for the SAT. The evaluations I refer to are here:

<p>I can’t find the most recent one in which dark knight discusses 300 Essential’s performance, but it too was up there as the #1 performer, with DH surprisingly lower (can someone find that thread?).</p>
