<p>Here is a list of medium to difficult vocabulary from past SAT tests in 2006 (ones in which the QAS was not offered). Therefore, there is a possibility that these words may appear in future SAT tests.</p>
<p>Note: not all of these vocabulary are the correct answers; I estimate about 90% of them are.</p>
<p>Another note: there is more than 1 test for each month.</p>

<p>How do you know in which months CB reuses the SAT?</p>
<p>They could reuse an SAT for any test, but the test that they choose to reuse will not be one that was released. The important thing is just to know every word on this list if you are going to take the test again.</p>
<p>no, its January and October according to Testmasters. just that October is not a completely reused test.</p>
<p>they're reusing this next january? what?! explanation please.</p>
<p>Bump after 3 years. Excellent post!</p>
<p>I bet if we can dig up CC archives we can have a consolidated vocab list from unreleased tests of '07, '08 and '09.</p>
