<p>So I have this plan where I learn 50 words a week till june SATs is that a good plan to increase my CR score, </p>

<p>That means you will have learned 1000 new words by the June SAT. While feasible, I find it rather lofty. I personally think it would be better to set a goal of reading ‘X’ number of books a month. That will increase your critical reading abilities and vocab as well as allow you to gather examples for your writing prompts.</p>
<p>Eh I read enough…trust me lol </p>

<p>This has been tried ad nauseum, yet reading, writing, and grammar scores continue to fall.</p>
<p>Do you think that memorizing words is effective?</p>
<p>I hope it is for you. However, the odds are not in your favor.</p>
<p>Preply’s idea is much better.</p>
<p>I also second (triple?) Preply’s strategy.</p>
<p>Remember, there are going to be give or take 19 vocab questions in the WHOLE test.
If you keep up in school and read books for leisure (which it sounds like you do), you won’t have big trouble with the vocab. </p>
<p>Best of luck on your future SAT endeavors!
When you look back, you will be proud of yourself!</p>
<p>I think you can do much better than 50 a week. I started off doing 10 / day using simple flashcards I bought from Barnes and Noble, wasn’t working too well (retention is just a pain). With some research I found myvocabapp ([Memorize</a> SAT and GRE vocabulary | myvocabapp](<a href=“http://www.myvocabapp.com/]Memorize”>http://www.myvocabapp.com/)) and tried out the free version, my retention was awesome and my words / day went up to 30. I continued with the paid version and boosted it up to 250 / week.</p>
<p>My CR score went up from a 590 to 730 because of my vocab memorization. Even if I didn’t know the some words on the SAT, just spending time memorizing the 4000 words wired my brain to think about the word parts / similar words.</p>
<p>It would also be smart to look at previous SAT tests and see which words tend to pop up a lot. I remember after doing a couple tests, I came across pedantic and didactic several times…</p>
