<p>yes, i did testmasters and actually went over the list this morning before the test. several of the words came up on the test</p>
<p>can someone post a link to a website, text file or whatever</p>
<p>If a list has 2500 words I wouldn't be surprised if probability wise it contained the 50-100 hard ones that might come up on a SAT</p>
<p>Could someone PLEASE post these 2500 words? I know its a lot of work, but not all of us have enough $ to order the SAT course too (my parents have already paid for books, etc.)</p>
<p>i have the website, but i dont thinks its fair for u guys to just access the list without paying the money for the course</p>
<p>nshah298, go to h3ll</p>
<p>i can't post it, AIM me or email me</p>
<p>no really its true i asked my firends about this at school and they told me lots of words from testmasters vocab came up on test,a nd they stated this without me even mentioning the testmasters january deal, the only quiestion i have is y january, can dthey predict may or sumting so i can study those words</p>
<p>I have two theories on how Testmasters is able to predict the words on the SAT so well. If either one is true, the tactics are highly questionable and probably unethical. Here are my theories:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I heard a rumor that the owner (or one of the owners) of Testmasters is a former ETS employee who wrote SAT questions himself and knew the organization's proprietary methods or formulas for generating words for the correct answers on the Critical Reading section.</p></li>
<li><p>Testmasters sends out multiple employees to take each SAT. Each employee is responsible for memorizing a certain number of questions or words from the Critical Reading section. They compile and reconstruct the exam afterwards and generate a word list from the exam. Since the employees take each SAT, and there is most certainly a pattern to how and when College Board recycles certain exams (and the January SAT is probably almost always a recycled exam), Testmasters is able to generate word lists that predict to almost a 100% degree of certainty the words on the exam.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Even if I somehow had prior access to the exams or knew the pattern to how College Board administers the SAT on different test dates, I still would not give my students such word lists. Offering test preparation or private tutoring for the SAT is one thing; giving an unfair/unethical advantage (as in the form of these word lists) to certain students is quite another. Perhaps that is how the organization can claim so many perfect scores each year. I'd rather have my students achieve perfect scores the honest way.</p>
<p>Godot, you are 100% correct!</p>
<p>They send out people to take the tests and them compile tests with similar questions. Their staff are sent out to memorize the correct answers to the sent comps and the lists are created using these correct words so that if ur stuck on a question but recognize a word, chances are that its the answer. </p>
<p>i dont really care what testmasters does. its honest and collegeboard or people on here cannot do anything on here bout it. all you can do is wait until testmasters move to your cities. all i know is that people in houston got it good thanks to testmasters. best $700 i ever spent.</p>
