A question for native speakers:

How many words did you know from Barron's 3500 word list before starting to study for the SAT ? A quarter ? Less than half or more than half ?

10x

Barrons? Less than 5%. Sad story.

I am fluent with English, and due to my previous experience with standarized testing, I knew around 30<%.
