But Please Use It. *by K***R on March 1, 2013* I received a review copy of the 5th edition, both volumes. As a tutor who has been using Direct Hits since the 1st edition and has also used 300 Essential Words, I offer the following comments.First, there are a lot of lists out there (I'm sure I've seen almost all of them), but the Direct Hits Family is the best. The list is based upon the actual SAT Test. The list is manageable. 1000 words, 3500 words, 5000 words?! Really? If you know that many words you need to work for Merriam-Webster. Time would be better spent reading. It is so well organized. The 5th edition shows welcome changes from the earlier editions. The explanations require less reading, sentences rather than passages. The Latin/Greek roots are interspersed throughout the books and connected with the relevant words. Direct Hits does a fantastic job in bring up previous words in new lessons; this serves as functional review. There are less sentence completion review exercises than in the earlier versions, but if you know how to use the blog posts it more than makes up for it.Heck, if you're already in college but find the reading "soo hard" get both volumes and get educated son. It's not gonna get eazier.In conclusion, I recommend Direct Hits for tutors, self-studying SAT students or anyone who wants to get a vocabulary foundation for college level. Remember, it is a start not a panacea, but it's probably the best start out there. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Direct Hit! *by P***S on January 16, 2012* I read about the Direct Hits series on College Confidential where people gave them glowing reviews. Figuring the books weren't that expensive, I decided to see for myself. I have a number of PSAT/SAT vocab prep resources, but these are definitely my favorite. I like reading stories that reinforce word meanings instead of just rote memory / notecard / fill-in-the-blank style vocabulary books. In addition, I was pleased to see that a good number of these words consistently appear in the SAT Blue Book and in old PSAT's I found online. I expect that rigorous study of these words will really be a boon to anyone who puts the time in and studies them.The Toughest Words Vocab book has a good selection of the esoteric words that appear on these tests, and it even has a section of exercises in the back of the book to reinforce word mastery. Definitely a "direct hit", if you ask me! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had fun with it. *by O***M on November 15, 2014* When my daughter was getting ready for the SAT her older brother and I had a blast taking two facing pages and adding our own notes to the entries. I'd prop it up by her lunch on the kitchen table and she read it while she ate breakfast. It was a fun few months and became a neat little joke/communication among us three.Memorizing word lists isn't a terribly efficient way to prep, I don't think, the best thing to do is read often from a young age, IMO. But this was a good use of time and we made it fun.FWIW she did better on the ACT which is less vocab-heavy. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/4977577-direct-hits-toughest-vocabulary-of-the-sat-paperback-august-10](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/4977577-direct-hits-toughest-vocabulary-of-the-sat-paperback-august-10) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
