<p>I’m going to be a junior in the fall and I’ve started to study for the PSAT and the SAT. Right now I have the Barron’s study guide for the PSAT and the Collegeboard study guide for the SAT. Is the word list in the Barron’s SAT guide different than the one in the PSAT guide? Also, should I buy any more reference material to prepare for these tests?</p>
<p>It might be. I believe this is the SAT list: [College</a> Confidential Discussion](<a href=“http://www.collegeconfidential.com/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?69/27780]College”>http://www.collegeconfidential.com/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?69/27780) So check that out. But I don’t think that you should prepare for the PSAT any differently than you would for the SAT, other than the essay. Everything else is the same; only the essay in the SAT is different.</p>
