Hi Myun, Thank you very much.My doubt has been cleared and since you have taught physics I cannot debate with you..:)

Is zero positive or negative? Is zero even or odd? Hi, ARCO-Math for smart test taker says that "zero is the only integer that is neither even nor odd and that is neither positive nor negative" but BARRON's says that zero is an even integer. Which one is to be believed???:( Thanks Amitha

Hi!! In my case, when I gave the TOEFL test at home i just got 197-230 and I was really scared.But in the real test a person wont be thinking of anything other than the test itself .SO, I feel he will do much better in the real test.As for my real test scores they were between 237-290 and I got a final score of 283.This has convinced me that the powerprep scores are in no way a standard to measure what your real scores are going to be. Good Luck to all Regards Amitha

Hi cinderellahn, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! You have got an awesome score.I'm sure you'll get 5.5 or 6.0 in your essay.Now that you are done with your TOEFL dont have any more sleepless nights ,thinking about the scores that you are going to get.Relax and have some fun before you go on to your next step(GRE,admissions,visa etc) [goodjob]

Hi, Actually your "stupid" book is right.Most of these formats DO appear on the TOEFL,although i dont remember if i had got the "graphic region selection (click on a picture or element in a picture) [listening and reading]" format.So,you may have to go through all thse formats before going in for the real test. Good Luck!! Amitha

Hi Synthia, I really admire your vocab and the flow of your essay.I have gone through the word lists in the Barron's but I'm still not able to recollect most of the words(and their meanings).You have used the words really neatly and in the precise places.I'm sure you'll do a very good job with the essay part in the GRE. Regards Amitha

Hi Erin, You are such a doll :love:.thank you very much for your response.With all the other tensions that I have had ,the last thing I wanted to worry about was if the test was held/not held on the 30th of sept.You have relieved my tension to a great extent.Thank you very much once again. Regards Amitha

Hi, Thank you very much, Erin and Raghuveer.Erin, I can understand how busy you are, with all these posts to reply and your DSL problem. And I also know that you willl reply to the posts,If not immediately a couple of days later.I really want to thank you for this wonderful site. The topic that I had got im my ToEFL test has been discussed on this site.Little did I know that the topic that I had least cared about, would be the one for me. TOPIC:What do you consider to be the most important room in a house?Why is this room more important to you than any other room?Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion. I wrote that in my opinion the dining room is the most important one because of family bonding etc. :) what is your opinion? Amitha

Hi, I think it should read: [Chosen] from a wide [variety] of subject areas, you [are allowed] to [up to] three elective courses. Is this alright, Erin?? Amitha
