Subject: RE: Rock the S.A.T. vocabulary songs
If the people who write the SAT want to keep the test fair, they will order the CD and then remove all the words mentioned from the test. It's supposed to be a test of how well-read one is, not how well-crammed.

When I took my college entrance tests, there was one question that required recognizing circular thinking. None of the choices mentioned circular thinking, but one did offer "seems somewhat tautological." I didn't know what tautological meant, but I chose it. When I looked it up, I found that that was the right answer. The phrase "somewhat tautological" has been part of my lexicon ever since.
