What Mark says about the randomness or lack thereof in
GREs and SATs etc is a lot of bunk.  The tests are
very carefully set up and screened for this.  As credentials
I will add that my wife is an employee of ETS, which
under contract to the CEEB, produces all these tests.
She has had assignments at times where she has had to
pre-screen potential test questions.  Not only does
a screener have to find the correct answer, she also has
to positively disprove all the other answers.
The examples I am thinking of are for a test in logic.
