Do you have a theory for that phenmenon?

There are words on the vocaulary section of the SAT that you would only hear or commonly use in an upper class environment. I had a moderately hard time with the SAT because of that although I studied hard for it when I took it. I only got a decent score by doing very well on the math part.
