Will recent SAT tests reuse vocab?

I took Jan and June SAT I tests, and I was wondering if I should pay attention to the past vocab words they used this year.

I heard they don't like to repeat the words they use for sentence completion?

Well, they're obviously going to switch around the test...but it's possible that there will be at least a FEW words that are constant because Collegeboard does tend to reuse words over different tests, almost as if there's a set list, Hrmmmmmmm

Haha

I think they kind of go through a cycle, to counter the massive list that people always study.

Don't focus too much on words that appear in the test because they always change.

Although I have encountered the word zealous in some form or another on what seems to a big percentage of psats and sats I've done (all official).

The word irreverence/irreverent was on THREE of the practice tests in the BB, but those are only practice tests.

I know because I highlight the words I don't know off the top of my head & make flash cards, and I had that word on three index cards
