Vocabulary

<p>I wouldn’t use the Gruber’s 2010 Vocab List. People think that the more words you memorize the more likely it will appear on the SAT. Though this may be true in a general sense, it would make more sense to study vocab from a list which has the highest probability of appearing on the real test. As of now, that vocab list is Direct Hits. It’s only around 400 words but it’s had the most hits on the SAT (and PSAT) and has fared better compared to other vocab lists with thousands of words. If I were you, I would get Direct Hits.</p>
