<p>the poor **cherub **was always overshadowed by the seraphim. why couldn't they all be equal?</p>
<p>btw, note this thread is not called "best way to predict which words will and will not appear on the SAT," it's about mastering vocabulary.</p>
<p>frisson
look at urbandictionary's definition as well</p>
<p>My point is that it's highly unlikely that a word meaning "involuntary defecation" would appear on the SAT because, obviously, many people would find it to be coarse.</p>
<p>Being at the peak of the roller coaster gave me a frisson of terror.</p>
<p>invidious</p>
<p>what are you talking about? it's not coarse at all - its search results are all medical websites</p>
<p>your false and **invidious **accusations are ruining the harmony - shut up please.</p>
<p>concretion</p>
<p>The SAT is the concretion of a person's idea.</p>
<p>Ebullience</p>
<p>holdit.. that doesn't makes sense. are you sure you understand what concretion means?</p>
<p>yea, it doesnt make sense.....</p>
<p>I was jumping around in ebullience when I found out that I was to get a brand new laptop.</p>
<p>congregation</p>
<p>Yeah, you're right. I was confused about the meaning, and, now that I looked it up, my meaning wasn't the right one.</p>
<p>Every Sunday, all of the Catholic people in the town form a congregation in the church.</p>
<p>Iota</p>
<p>The suspect was acquitted because the prosecutors could not bring forth a single iota of evidence against him.</p>
<p>vacuity</p>
<p>The assasin's moral vacuity was evident not only in his profession but also in his indiscriminate slaughtering of the innocent. </p>
<p>chattel</p>
<p>P.S., alpha: I understand that the word is unlikely to be found on the SAT. Your sentence, however, fails to promote understanding of the word. Many words are unlikely to be found on the SAT, so your sentence doesn't provide any contextual means to determine the meaning of that particular word.</p>
<p>i can't believe i paid $5000 for this summer program! all they do is herd us around d.c. like chattel.</p>
<p>pother</p>
<p>My calmness stood in sharp contrast to my father's pother.</p>
<p>*delectation *</p>
<p>Much to my delecation, this thread allows me to learn new SAT words in an entertaiming way, and therefore, improve my Critical Reading score.</p>
<p>elliptical</p>
<p>Newton answered Brahe's question of why the planets' paths were elliptical, moving in a circular motion.</p>
<p>abstruse</p>
<p>Some SAT math problems can be highly abstruse unless you know a particular formula.</p>
<p>sate</p>
<p>Not positive about the meaning but:</p>
<p>Following the multi-course meal, I had reached my limit and admitted I was sated.</p>
<p>Please correct me if I am wrong. </p>
<p>Word: bauble</p>
<p>The preteen girl was in love with the bright coloured plastic baubles that she wore.</p>
<p>pernicious</p>
<p>The girl's reputation was ruined in the town after her friend spread a pernicious lie.
circumspect</p>
<p>It is important for Principal Jones to be circumspect and discreet when asked whether Sue or Sally would be the valedictorian of the senior class.</p>
<p>celerity</p>
<p>I was astonished my Mary's **celerity. **I never thought she would be able to win the race, let alone do it so nonchalantly.</p>
<p>alveolar</p>
<p>Yeah that word is 99.9% not going to show up.</p>
<p>She found out her diagnosis for lung cancer was correct, as the apparent alveolar damage was malignant.</p>
<p>word: nadir</p>
