Which vocab list performed the best?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>There used to be threads analyzing which vocab list did the best by taking the number of “hits” each book got correct vs. the number of words needed to be studied, ending up with a ranking of the “best” vocab lists.</p>

<p>I found these threads very interesting, and with the addition of 3 new tests on the online course, I was wondering if people would be willing to create the results with me? I only have part of the lists that used to be analyzed though, so yeah… ^_^</p>

<p>Here is a history of these awesome threads:</p>
