Nitin, Welcome back ... You are my wonderful TM buddy.:) RiTchie

Just One Thing I can say ... Such a long way of ur study time covers much more than a single GRE test. Just focus on the test! If you are nervous at that time, ETS will trick you so hard. That's what I figured out ...:) Richie

The answer is B. Look carefully where the underline is.(Only choice is to make Plural without putting an article!) steamship -> steamships (Singular -> Plural) Refer how you can avoid ETS's tricks ...:eek: http://www.www.urch.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24751 Richie

Congrats Silence! You are the only one got this right!!! THE ANSWER IS ... B I agree with Steve, I thought "has," is an answer. Because, Check this thread ... :hmm: (Ex: One plate of cookies) http://www.www.urch.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22151 Richie

Erin, I'm not an expert, but I like to see homepage designs. Because I like to do designs, but I'm not good at computer.:p First, I prefer to definately first one! I would like to share my opinion that you allowed us to do. First few things I would like to change(Just my opinion) Concept: 1] Your students on the blue bar, should be a color photo for emphasizing how they are an important part in Testmagic. 2] If you choose students for "Black and White" harmonizing with the gray bar on top(or you thought the color image looked ... they are coming out from the blue bar) Then: Please try this ... Change gray to black on top, and put color picture. It will harmonize between the image and your design.(Don't change blue bar!) Design: 1] Effecient of hompage's purpuse is to make your viewers possible to read and see easily your informations. 2] I think: Orange Margin + Main Frame(Middle) + Orange Margin would be better viewer to see ... If orange part is just for margin. Organization: 1] Left and Bottom, you have a big white space ... How are you going to designate it? Are you going to put you and your student picture? (I think First main page is enough now because we can click and link everything from the simple and clean main page.) 2] Or you can put advertsment "GMAT PREP ...etc (located vertically right)" on the bottom horizontally. And put "search" below the "Link"(located left side) Harmony: 1] The color arrangement which is Blue + Orange [From TM's Logo] symbolize TestMagic really well !!!:tup: Second one you didn't put orange on the logo) 2] Logo always has to be the same: Because of its original. Overall: My personal belief ... and flavor ... All design has to symbolize, therefore they should be clean and simple but meaningful. I saw a post few days ago you asked us about our hompage. I thought you would like to refer for your hompage, and I don't have one, but I would like to give some of the great hompages I like ... The art school I'm going to apply, http://artcenter.edu/ One of the artist from the school I know, www.cecilkim.com Pixar, http://www.pixar.com/ The most famous artists from Lucas Art,(check out their forum) http://www.conceptart.org/ I have a lot ... but I will give you next time more ... I'm temporally stop doing art because of TOEFL.:eek: All of comments I gave you are just my opinion, but I hope It was helpful to you to refer ...:) Thank you, Richie
