What's my best strategy for vocab?

Well Sanguine is in the Sparknotes 1000 lol. The Barron’s list will make you 100% safe, but I don’t see why I shouldn’t study this sparknotes list. What I might do is look over the words but try to find the stem. Stems and roots won’t always get me the definition because the root relates to the definition in a way but doesn’t give the actual definition.

For example, neophyte, I only know that neo is new, so if I were to assume that, might have difficulty in knowing that it means someone who is young or inexperienced. I am aiming for a 700 on the CR section, and if I get even 7 wrong, it’s game over. There are 19 vocab questions but I don’t have long term 6 years to read books and newspaper articles. I’ll try to do a little of each everyday maybe.
