<p>Fellow CCers who took the December International Sat, would u be kind to discuss the sentence completions so I can check and compare my answers?
Many Thanks</p>
<p>I don’t remember most of them but… </p>
<p>For the one about the mayor, I chose malfeasance.<br>
For the one about statistics and analysis, I chose understanding and something. </p>
<p>Was there an answer choice that had inimical in it?</p>
<p>Yeah I had inimical which means adverse/unfriendly, etc.</p>
<p>I also had malfeasance. For the ones with analysis and statistics, I chose A which was interpretation and sth.</p>
<p>I chose:
malfeasance (stigma of malfeasance, mayor)
mellifluous (voice was full and sweet?)
superfluous ( don’t remember the q)
pastoral (scenery, village, a bridge over water something like that)
intemperate/inimical : this is correct because the question was about indulgence
florid (the one about the writer who was direct)
umm… Don’t remember any more right now…</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the reading passage: What would the dogmatic scientists say about the dinosaur exhibition?</p>
<p>I think i got all of them right except the intemprate/inimical.
@avConstant, i think i put strong objection</p>
<p>I didn’t choose florid. I chose succinct. I read the writer writes directly and clearly. ( I don’t remember the exact sentence.) if I haven’t mistaken.</p>
<p>and all the others match :)</p>
<p>Well,I remember that I chose exactly like yours except for “superfluous” .It’s likely that I was wrong because this was the first SAT of me and I felt it… irritably strange and perplexed. (actually my brain nearly jumped out of my head after only 3 sections).Hope it will be improved on later times <em>pratice more and methodically</em>.</p>
<p>I dont remeber choosing superfluous either.Anyone remembers the sentence?</p>
<p>I chose superfluous. I don’t remember the 2nd word for that one.</p>
<p>@klausman: dogmatic means authoritative or something based on assumption, which is what the passage was talking about with respect to science. So I put agree wholeheartedly. There was something about the dogmatic scientists thinking it was heresies: and I didn’t know what heresies meant. There a question in the 20 minute CR sec which had heresy in the options as well and I was thinking damn it why don’t I know this? </p>
<p>@eatlovepray : I think there was a switch in the sentence: Like ‘Instead of using florid language, he was direct.’ Something like that.
Hope I’m not wrong. :$</p>
<p>@cavojcon: I gave mine for the second time. I was **** nervous the first time as well. Reflected on my scores too. 
General good feeling about the second attempt. Except the essay. :P</p>
<p>Haha, our proctor was weird. She gave us 35 minutes for the essay! Mine still sucked, though. :P</p>
<p>Does somebody answer a question with cerebral as right ?</p>
<p>I don’t remember much,but it seems that I put “wholehearted…” first.But then I saw the sentence after that sentence and changed my answer.
@avConstant:“heresies” is ideas or beliefs that are opposed to the official,common one.
Btw,I have a stupid mistake in a Math section,“1,3^2”,I don’t have calculator (for a personal reason) but I did fairly good until that one.I thought that “1,3^2= (1+0.3)^2 ~ 1+2.0,3”.Weirdly stupid one T_T
Anyone remember any other SC question,there is one include “licentious” but as I remembered it wasn’t a correct answer.I don’t remember anything from those last sections,which I did unconsciously <em>like a broken machine</em>.</p>
<p>yup I had cerebral as answer</p>
