(*) The SAT exam still tests vocabulary: SAT Vocabulary now falls into a testing category called “Words in Context”. Testers will receive a subscore in this category, derived from both the SAT Reading and Writing & Language Tests. . . Memorizing SAT vocabulary was absolutely necessary to do well on the exam. But with the current form of the SAT, there's far less emphasis on testing vocabulary. Sentence Completion questions have been totally removed, and all vocab is now about medium difficulty, so you won't be seeing any super obscure words anymore!
