<p>Since I have less than two weeks to improve my SAT score, I’m still debating on whether I should study Direct Hits. How much can I improve my critical reading score just from memorizing Direct Hits vocabulary words? I currently score 550~600 in CR.</p>
<p>It can certainly help; I mean it’s not going get you above a 700 but you could see a 30-40 point improvement if you study them effectively.</p>
<p>If you already have the books, put some time in each day going over the words. You should be able to get through both books in 2 weeks. You should also do practice tests from the Blue Book or take the free online test and look up any words you don’t know.</p>
