The words are not always the same. They are selected from a standard wordbank.

From what I've seen in certain similar situations, some people would prepare for such a test by trying to memorize every single word in the wordbank, even if there are several thousands of them; OTOH, if the bank is large enough, then the extent to which they'd manage to do that would probably correlate with IQ strongly enough. (Unless some candidates use SRSs and other don't.)
