Kaushik, You have ample time.....Work on the essays consistently and you'd definitely improve.. Try to learn from the mistakes and re-write the essay. Second, have an essay format and follow, that would save u a lot of time and reduce the common errors.

Hi Guys, Sorry, i was referring to the CBT. Pl apologize for the oversight...However, there are some valuable info at the ETS site which would be helpful, if you haven't referred though.. http://www.ets.org/portal/site/ets/menuitem.1488512ecfd5b8849a77b13bc3921509/?vgnextoid=ff28af5e44df4010VgnVCM10000022f95190RCRD&vgnextchannel=b6c7197a484f4010VgnVCM10000022f95190RCRD

Sanatana, Essay was short and simple. You did not use complex words, which is very good. However, its too short. You could have added another para to substantiate you view. I felt there were many grammatical errors. It can be corrected with due attention. All the best If I have to choice (select or choose) a kind of transportation which help me to travel from my home to another place, I can prefer bicycle, car or bus (I can travel by bicycle, car or bus). But I think using bus is more appropriate than the other alternatives. I would like to explain my choice in the following way. The main reason why I prefer to take bus is that traveling by bus is safer than bicycle and car(The main reason for traveling by bus, it is safer than other means of transport). Because both of them need much attention and I sometimes drive car or bicycle carelessly(you can expand this portion). On the other hand, bus driver is more carefull than me and he is more professional when making his job. Another reason for my choice is that when I decide to use bus, I have to adapt bus schedule. So I can not postpone my journey and I can go on time my place by using bus. (I feel this is a negative statement contradicting your view) The last reason for taking bus is that bus is comfortable than other transportations. For example, I have to pay much (more) attention when driving car (a car). However, ı can watch tv or listen music when traveling by bus. You elaborate a bit. For example, it gives the leverage to read, sleep and do other activities. So based on all mentioned point, I would choice (I would have) three choices for my way but I would like to choose bus as my tool this journey because it help me to save my time, more comfortable and safer than bicycle and car.

Hi Kaushik, Its a long essay, around 370 words...which is good. It would be better if you can keep it around 300 words. First, it would reduce the opportunities you can mistake and secondly, you can be concise. As Cyber pointed out, break into smaller para's. Try avoid using 'I', keep it general. Avoid using Capital letters in between. I have a feeling you are transalating what exactly you think in the regional language to English. Try start thinking in English, you can achieve it by constant practice. I faced the same issue, but I'm overcoming it. check out http://www.writefix.com, it has lot of examples and formats. Hope this helps. All the best

Hi T, Going by the instincts, i fee 'C' is the correct answer.. I don't have the explanation..sorry.. Some Grammar fundu should be able to provide it.. All the best,

hi guys, The powerprep tests is the exact replica of the real test. If you wanna find the difficulty level, my advise would be is to grab a CD from someone and attempt it..that would reveal your exact strengths and weakness. All the best

Hi Guys! This sentence was posted in an article in Scientificamerican.com. "By the close of the 20th century, taxonomy had reached a crossroads." Shouldn't the sentence read "By the close of the 20th century, taxonomy had reached a crossroad". I copied that sentence in MS Word and it did not show any error. Can someone explain how it is gramattically correct? Thanks for your help in advance.
