So the above vocabulary words are words that should be known to the test-taker? I usually don't read anything like novels too much (busy in school), but your stance does make sense, considering that back in the time that you took the SAT, not many people went to college; therefore, the SAT was a opportunity for people to show there aptitude for abstract thinking, since the SAT was supposed to be for rich people and above average people (based from 1941 norms that the test was based on). Would that be correct?
