Which vocab list performed the best?

<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>

<p>Which books/lists do you have?</p>

<p>I can get the free ones of course (Sparknotes...), I currently have only the Barrons, and my Direct Hits (both volumes), Princetons Hit Parade, and Rocket Review will be coming in 5-9 business days.</p>

<p>I'm going to purchase the online quiz next week :)</p>

<p>I have Hot Words and I wouldn't mind helping you with that :]</p>

<p>Which one is the online quiz?</p>

<p>I think I jumped the gun too early... once I actually have the online course, I can examine the words xD</p>

<p>haha. Then just shoot me a PM whenever.</p>

<p>where can i get hotlist and parade? Do i have to purchase books for those?</p>

<p>Hotlist and Parade?</p>

<p>If you mean the Barrons hot words and Princeton Hit Parade, it's a chapter in their SAT prep books :)</p>
