hi i am also plannin to apply to the doctoral of PT program and they usually look for a 1100 + score so I think you should be ok but where r you planning to apply. I am planning my GRE soon. how was the verbal part and which books did you refer to . waitin 4 reply.;)

hi, ya it is true that even if you get 3 wrong u can still get a 800 and even if you get 1 wrong sometimes your score can drop. [xx(] On the GRE it is very important to get the first few questios right so if you get the last questions wrong you can still get a 800 but if you get the initial questions wrong then your score can drop.:( hope that was helpful. andrea :D

Topic: Do you agree or disagree that progress is always good? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Hi all, please someone help me i have written 4 essays and no reply yet on even one, I have my exam on wed. please help. :( Essay: Progess is inevitable, and it is always beneficial to man kind. World today is the outcome of progress in various different field. Progress have always been a boon in the fields of antibiotics, technology,and computing. In the 1800 and the early 1900 there have been so many desieses that used to wipe out hundreds of tribes and thousands of people as there were no antibiotics that were discovered to fight those deases. In 1906 an epidemic of cholera in Japan killed a large number of people, and the same thing happened in 1920 when malaria killed thousands of people in ukrane. But we no longer hear of such dreadful deseases taking over resulting in the death of millions of people, this is because of the progress in the fields of antibiotics. There are vast number of vaccines avalable today that prevent the accerance of dreadful deseases like polio and smallpoxs to name a few. The vast growth in technology has help in the invention of gadgets that are ancestors would have never dreamt of like the fridge, the oven. The fridge helps us to store food on weeks on end, and tasting as freash as the time we bought it. Initially people used to die due to starvation but we never hear of a person dieing due to the lack of food. There has been a major improvent in the feild of making transgenic seeds to grow various plants as that of rice and maize. Today Saudi Arabia which is a deasert is the largest exporter of rice and wheat, as the scientists were able to produce seeds that would be able to tolerate the high temperatures and the lack of water. Computing has also come a long way in helping mankind. today our weatherman can predict what the weather is going to be three or even four days from know and most of the times it is accurate, as wether we would need a coat or an umbrella. But earlier most of the times the weatherman used to change their weatherforcast hourly and then too not be accurate. These are a few reasons why I think progress is always fruitful and has always help make life easier and fun. Please please please [V] comment and grade.[bounce]

Topic: #128: Some people say that physical exercise should be a required part of every school day. Other people believe that students should spend the whole school day on academic studies. Which opinion do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer. Hi everyone,please please could you grade and also point out any mistakes in my essay, i take my exam on wed. so am very nervous. :( :shy: thanks in advance. Essay: In todays fast moving society we need well rounded individuals. Individuals who have had a vast varaity of exposure to various fields in life. To form such well rounded individuals I think that sports and other outdoor activities play a very important role as they act as stress busters, they aslo help as a form of exercise and help the child to remain fit and active, and most importantly they help the child to forget his worrys and enjoylife. Many time people are involved in their own life and worries tend to forget about the children, as what tensions they have and face as they go through their day to day lives in schools facing vigourous academic training. A child needs to involve himself in some kind of sport or outdoor activity in order to get his mind of his studies and projects that he would have to finish. Many studies have shown that children who do not involve themselves in any kind of sport tend to shy away from challenges in life as they are scared of the outcome so it is very important for children to play a sport. Any kind of outdoor sport or activity as playing scoccer or even just playing ball helps the child to expend some energy which in tern leads to weight loss. America is said to have the maximum number of obease children in the world. Obesity is a big problem as it leads to several health problems and also many physiological problems. The most important thing of involving sports in a childs life is that it acts as a stress buster for the child. When a child is playing he tends to forget all his worries and troubles. Therefore I would like to conclude by saying taking physical activity away from a child couls lead to some unforseen and unplesant individuals. Waiting for your comments.:D

Dear Rajsari, i just feel that u write very well and that i am going to read all your essays,before my toefl. please could u read my essay and grade it. thanks.

Topic: Do you agree or disagree, " Dissatisfaction leads to progress." hi everyone, please could someone grade my essay and also point out my mistakes. i exam is on the 6th of aug so i am really nervous. Essay: In our society we find people with diverse personalities. There are the people who get dissatisfied very easily and feel depressed. This leads to a feeling of emptyness and also rejection. They start to feel that they are not good enough and so they giveup.Then there are the people who believe in the saying "Try try till you succed". I strongly believe in this saying. People graduating from school usually have dreams to become something in life, to attain a goal. Most of the times there are number of hinderances, and difficuties but most of the time people dont give up. The dissatisfaction that they face on the way acts like a push and gives them more power and a greater wanting for that goal, leading them to strive harder. Initial dissatisfaction leads to greater pressure and a sweeter success. I would like to take my own example, in school I was the caption of my baseball team, once whilest practising for the up coming championship I fell and fractured my leg. My doctor told me that I would not be able to return to the feild for atleast a month. on hearing those words it was like the sky had fallen on my head coz the championship was only one and a half months away and it was my dream to win that cup for my school. I was dissatisfied and depressed for a few days but then as soon as my cast came off I started practising day and night and finally got the cup. In our day to day lives we come across so many obsticales that detter us but we push ourselves and achive our goal. Therefore I strongly believe that dissatisfactin leads to progress.

hi rajsari, your essay was pretty good, i was reading all the essays coz i thought this topic is quite hard, but i really liked your. i would give u a 5.0 so when r u taking the toefl.

hi Erin and all, I am planning to take my exam on aug 5 ao please could someone grade it and also point out my mistakes. thanks a lot in advance. TOPIC: Is it better to enjoy your money when you earn it or is it better to save your money for some time in the future? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion. My Essay: Most of the times believe in enjoying the money right away. A few of my friends wait for their pay check and as soon as they get it, go out and buy all kinds of things that they think they need and cannot live without, and before they know it they have spent all most all their money. They think that it is important to enjoy their money. I also agree with them but not whole heartedly. I believe that I should save atleast half of my pay check, as this would give me a great sense of security. I believe a sense of security would also give me a feeling of peace and joy.As i would know in the back of my mind that in case of a crises I have money and I could go out and buy anything that i would need. For example, a few days ago we had a thunder storm in our area it so distructive that a tree in my front yard got up rooted from the ground and fell onto my house, crushing my car and also damaging my front door in the bargain. I was devesteted at what i saw but when i thought that i have the money to fix everything and that everything would be alright, it felt like a burden was lifted from my shoulders. So the money that I thad saved gave me a sense of confidence and peace at the same time. When I save money, I could also buy nice expensive jewellry or an expensive car or even go for a nice long vacation. This would give me greater satisfaction than spending the money on frivelious items that we would need but are things that we cannot do without. These are the reasons why I think that I should save my money, but also enjoy it in the end with my big buy. Please Erin could you grade this essay or could anybody please grade it, i am reallt scared and hoping everything goes well. :shy: thanks [:X]
