<p>SAT word list
<a href="http://www.testmasters.com/vocablist.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.testmasters.com/vocablist.pdf&lt;/a> -->100%</p>

<p>2003 PSAT word list
<a href="http://www.testmasters.com/psat2003.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.testmasters.com/psat2003.pdf&lt;/a> -->100%</p>

<p>2004 PSAT word list
<a href="http://www.testmasters.com/psat2004.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.testmasters.com/psat2004.pdf&lt;/a> -->0%</p>

<p>IMPORTANT: the 2004 PSAT (Ner Version) makes Testmaster failed to predict the words; if you check the words on the new 2004 PSAT, none of them are on the test. Conclusion: Testmaster can no longer predict words on the new PSAT and SAT. Give up your hope for the March, Testmaster fail!!!!!!!</p>

<p>I don't know how the 2004 PSAT list has a 0% accuracy as I found 3 words which appeared on the Wed PSAT 2004, on a quick glance:</p>

<p>flagrant, esoteric and pernicious</p>

<p>I'm sure there are more, but I never read it in detail</p>

3

<p>100% means the word on the list = the correction answer on the actual test</p>

<p>0% means even though some words are on the list, they are not the correct answers; so, these words lead you into choosing wrong answers.</p>

4

<p>Actually, i'm pretty sure flagrant was an answer choice. Pernicious wasn't.. though.</p>

<p>Also, esoteric was one of the answer choices in the CR question; therefore, you needed to understand this word to get the question right.......i think..</p>

5

<p>yeah im pretty sure donnybrito is right because the first few tests are gonna be a mystery. i say that by the time of the Jan. 2006 they will have 99% accuracy tests so dont go crazy now</p>

6

<p>someone accuse Testmaster's abuse of of College Board copyright of vocabularies. Any command?</p>

7

<p>Huh? I don't understand. Can someone please explain to me how testmasters works?</p>

<p>They can predict answers on the next SAT test?</p>

8

<p>yes.
probably some statistical method, though others claim a source from within CB.</p>

9

<p>is there a word list out for the march SAT?</p>

10

<p>ok look..ets or collegeboard w/e use each passage 4 times before stopping...they also use the sentence completions many times..and testmasters has a formula that predicts which passages or words are going to be in an sat and they make a list of them...sometimes they get it all messed up and their list sucks..but most of the times they get it right and you basically have a list with 99% of the words you need to know...
pentasa...they do have a list for the march sat...but its not published yet</p>

11

<p>What are they waiting for, the test is in two weeks.</p>

12

<p>How important is learning vocabulary for the new March SAT?</p>

13

<p>only 1/12 compared to the 5/12 we had to know before on the old SAT</p>

14

<p>does anyone have the march sat testmasters list? (if it exists)</p>

15

<p>dont trust it icyfire.........its too risky especialy on the first, New SAT, in which the testmasters dont have the info of paterns of the SATs to determine the correct words. just dont trust it</p>

16

<p>Yea thats true. But after using the Jan list which was gold, I just feel like at least seeing it.</p>

17

<p>but this is the first NEW SAT and the testmasters use the paterns of test to figure out vacab if the reused test. just like test format #2 in jan.22, the list is completely useless. its just chance.</p>

18

<p>well nitinrao...if i remember correctly...u were skeptical abour learning the words for the jan 22 sat...and after asking around u learned them...and im sure they helped u...so y say now that the list is useless</p>

19

<p>ok pimpa, the list did help me A LOT that day. but now this is the new SAT. the testmasters have a techinique to make lists: they use patterns of old test to figure it out. most of SATs were reused, so thats y testmasters got in bussiness. now, its the new SAT. they cant possibly guess all the words unless, of course, there is a person in ETS working for the testmasters giving away confidential info.</p>

20

<p>no man im not trying to contradict u cuz im not sure either...but i dont really think that they will write a completely new test...im sure they will use parts of old tests in this new one and write a few new passages or questions...we they do vocab is not gonna be that big of a deal...if ur a bit of a reader u should be ok for most of the questions...</p>
