<p>How bout the scientific discovery that disputed all current evidence..</p>

<p>startling/revolutionary
or
appalling/groundbreaking</p>

22

<p>^^^yea i got (bear one)</p>

23

<p>startling/revolutionary</p>

24

<p>Startling/revolutionary</p>

25

<p>Ptang, I chose startling... revolutionary...</p>

26

<p>I'm positive I got startling/revolutionary as well</p>

27

<p>diffident was not the correct answer (100% sure--sorry m8).</p>

<p>startling/revolutionary is correct
anomaly was a correct one
anitpode was correct (that was the hardest on the test imo)
one of the verbal questions had dispel in the answer (number 2 of the same section as antipode)</p>

28

<p>yes startling/revolutionary is correct.</p>

<p>excellent, I guessed antipode</p>

29

<p>i also got obscure
any1 else get it</p>

30

<p>no I wrote conviction as the asnwer ... not diffidence (that means self confidence)</p>

31

<p>I second obscure</p>

<p>And I also chose conviction</p>

32

<p>I got conviction too.</p>

33

<p>Oh my god!!
This SAT was full of greek words!!
I would have aced it!!!</p>

34

<p>I got conviction</p>

<p>obscure didn't make sense, it was asking about how the judges were able to distinguish the chilly, discriminating makes more sense.</p>

<p>Google's "define" function defines discriminating as:</p>

<p>showing or indicating careful judgment and discernment especially in matters of taste; "the discriminating eye of the connoisseur"</p>

35

<p>Yeah, now I remember. It was conviction.</p>

<p>Also, there was a question with one of the choices being Vitality. I put instinct but that is wrong. It had to be a synonym of determination but none of them matched, atleast then. Now that I checked the dictionary, the answer WAS Vitality. Damn, it was one of the secondary meanings. Hope that was an experimental section.</p>

36

<p>it was saying the judges were criticizing on subtle things that most people would not be able to point out. which is why obscure fits.</p>

<p>I also chose vitality</p>

37

<p>I also got conviction and discriminating for those two q's, seemed to make the most sense. Wasn't the chili question asking about the judges? If that's the case then I think that discriminating would make sense.</p>

38

<p>Which question was the answer conviction for?</p>

39

<p>yes, vitality is correct</p>

40

<p>another answer was filial</p>
