The general notion regarding IBA's MBA admission test is you need to know a whole lot of words, especially synonyms and antonyms, analogies- all these take a lot of everyone's time and at the same time force the common student to buy a bunch of books. Now if you ARE weak regarding words, you really DO NEED all the help you can get.
My compilation list sort of works like an actual visual list to get a grip on what words popped up in the test. Also it should prevent some better test-takers out there to stop memorizing every word in a dictionary.

I have with me, questions starting from 1989 right down to 2012 December. Now for the time I am only going through 2001 to 2012. The list above should make one point clear, memorizing the vast number of words is not going to help anybody. Particularly in the December exam of 2013, there were no analogies.
Also in the new GRE and GMAT systems, there are no more synonyms or antonyms and analogies. So, if IBA wants to keep the exam standard up to those, then word lists should be low priority.
Detail oriented fill the blanks and sentences are more in "style", all things considered. Concentrate on those.
Note:
There is also the other side of the coin where low priority elements of the last few years are suddenly put into high gear for the current year.
