<p>Today, I learned on the SAT that paucity does NOT only mean a small number! Were you excited to learn that too? I felt like my world was turned upside down! Now i can use paucity to describe flat surfaces, a definition which is not in any dictionary online! I like never knew that! Collegeboard is so much smarter than me, I'm so glad they taught me a 5th degree definition that I will use in the future. </p>
<p>I only wish I wouldve guessed it!</p>
<p>^ wow. just wow.</p>
<p>i love sarcasm ^_^</p>
<p>seriously, i despise that question with my life haha</p>
<p>I had it down to panoply and paucity, and I had to choose panoply. Grr.</p>
<p>^ me too, but i omitted it lol.</p>
<p>and this thread made me laugh…seriously hahaha.</p>
<p>Good ole Sadlier-Oxford coming through in the clutch…I put paucity.</p>
<p>wow paucity was the one of the vocab words that I memorized too but only that it was scarcity… fdsjkfjdsg mother..</p>
<p>Oh. I thought that the sentence WAS asking for a word synonymous to scarcity. A lack of craters = smooth.</p>
<p>Or did I misread the sentence and then get it right?</p>
<p>^i wish i had interpreted it like you. Then I probably would have gotten it right.</p>
<p>I just think if college board would have worded it a bit better…w/e.</p>
<p>My gut was pointing to paucity but I didn’t trust it.
=/</p>
<p>Omitter here. >_<
Wait I think I bubbled it in at that last minute… OH goshdarn, I don’t remember (which ****es me off because I just friggin took it!)</p>
<p>hahahaha.</p>
<p>this is going to sound ridiculous, but the reason i got this one right was because of Gilmore Girls. sad, yes i know… I can still hear the line, “Due to your participation paucity…”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s exactly the way I thought about it. Yay for lucky interpretations!</p>
<p>Haha…I was able to figure that out because the Latin derivitive “pau” means a few, so there were only a “few” craters on mars or whatever planet it was. Yay for Latin nerds like me!</p>
<p>I feel SO good for getting this right!</p>
<p>EPIC my friend.</p>
<p>AHAHAHA, circumlocution2, I remembered that line, too! I started laughing and thinking about Headmaster Charleston while taking the test. That’s the reason I got it wrong, though, I was sure it meant ‘lack’ instead of ‘smooth/shallow’</p>
<p>Did you also remember the word ‘spate’ from GG? I’m such a loser, but it helped my CR score :)</p>
<p>spate wasnt a correct answer, just a choice, I hope? I remember that word. im so paranoid as my CR score is increasingly dwindling lol.</p>
<p>I will concur that sometimes the word choice is a bit ridiculous at times, but also agree that one should have a good vocabulary. To me, logic skills in knowing what type of definition goes in the blank is more important than knowing the word. Still, the person who knows every definition on the SAT will always outperform the person who knows every strategy for sentence completions but doesn’t know the word.</p>
