<p>I need to confirm some answers with you if so. I'm tired of the scattered responses in the SAT threads, where people with sub-2100 scores are fighting for some satisfaction in their answers.</p>
<p>Yeah, I got a 2330 (M: 800, CR: 800, W: 730) in June;</p>
<p>I’m confident I did better this time around, though I missed a simple math one.</p>
<p>I got a 2320 in June so I guess we can trust ourselves than the people in the crowded October SAT threads. Do you remember putting “style over substance”?</p>
<p>By the way, do you have any form of instant messaging?</p>
<p>Yes. Also, here are some of my answers that people were going crazy over:</p>
<p>I put diffident, not retiring.
I put emphatic, not balanced.
I put undesirable, not inevitable.
I put inadequate, not wasted.</p>
<p>BTW, what’s your view on the emphatic/balanced thing?</p>
<p>EDIT: I have AIM.</p>
<p>All those are right except for diffident, I believe. Are you sure style vs substance was correct? Do you remember the other choices for that question?</p>
<p>^there was another choice that said “what constitutes bad criticism”</p>
<p>Do you remember the gist of the question?</p>
<p>I don’t remember the other choices, but I do remember that I was right :)</p>
<p>It’s definitely style vs substance, I don’t even remember that being debated in the other thread. And also, for the diffident question, the blank was followed by a clause that stated “almost self-effacing” or “nearly self-effacing”, and since diffident and self-effacing are nearly synonymous, where the heck did retiring come from?</p>
<p>What was the purpose of the last paragraph? -to show the relationship b/t style and substance</p>
<p>I see. Linger, do you remember the other choices?</p>
<p>@etherality</p>
<p>self effacing means to make oneself inconspicuously shyly. Why doesn’t retiring work?</p>
<p>Wait a second… that was a two part question. What were the second parts for both the diffident and retiring choices?</p>
<p>What is your aim?</p>
<p>the second part of diffident was aversion and the second part of retiring was penchant.</p>
<p>^ No, something’s messed up. I wouldn’t have put diffident if it was followed by aversion.</p>
<p>Diffident=Aversion. Retiring=penchant</p>
<p>and what did you guys put for the writing question with indeed and by comparision?</p>
<p>It was [insert indeed/by comparision] organic foods cost 40 percent more than conventionally grown food</p>
<p>I believe the answer has to be retiring/penchant. On Merriam-Webster Online, self-effacing is a synonym of both retiring and diffident. However, the sentence started off with “Although” which would signal a contrast in her shy personality with love of dramatics. Unfortunately, I do not remember which one I picked there.</p>
