Extractions: Knowledge ... listed alphabetically Introduction Which Tests should be taken up Registration The SAT II is p rimarily a multiple-choice test in specific subjects , such as English, history, social sciences, mathematics and others. The test lasts one hour and consists entirely of multiple choice questions, except for a 20-minute essay writing section. Like the SAT I, the SAT II is scored on a 200-800 scale. The SAT II Subject Tests focuses mainly in measuring knowledge and skills in a particular subject or discipline and students ability to apply that knowledge. Like the SAT I, the SAT II provides schools with a standard measure of academic performance and scores are used for college admissions and placement decisions. SAT II subject scores are also used by educational institutions towards - Determining how well students are prepared for different college programs Placing students in freshman or higher-level course work, depending on their subject test performance Advising students on course selection Deciding whether students have the academic ability to handle their curriculum Which Tests should be taken up Most colleges require that student take particular subject tests as approved by them; usually this includes the writing test and/or one of the math tests. Some schools however, do offer some choice in the matter, especially if they want students to take a total of three subject tests. Before students register for any test, it is recommended to check with the colleges in which they are interested to pursue education, to determine exactly which test(s) they require.

http://webster.commnet.edu/grammar/sentences.htm

Extractions: Before elaborating too much on the nature of sentences or trying to define a sentence's parts, it might be wise to define a sentence itself. A sentence is a group of words containing a subject and predicate . Sometimes, the subject is "understood," as in a command: "[You] go next door and get a cup of sugar." That probably means that the shortest possible complete sentence is something like "Go!" A sentence ought to express a thought that can stand by itself, but it would be helpful to review the section on Sentence Fragments for additional information on thoughts that cannot stand by themselves and sentences known as "stylistic fragments."

Extractions: No, Epinions is not English 101, as one epinionator put it in a review I recently read. We aren't here to "grade" each other; the worst writer on the site can at least potentially earn as much money as the best - and that's one of the beauties of how the whole thing works. So no, I'm not here to "judge" you, in the sense that your English teacher was. Heck, I'm not even here to teach you! (And it's risky business writing about such pesky details as grammar and spelling - none of us is perfect, we all hit wrong keys, and little bloopers get past even our most compulsive editing efforts.) But here's where those petty little bourgeois (did I spell that right - very possibly not!) aspects of sharing your opinion of a product, service, or an issue come into play: when you put an epinion out there, you are doing so with the presumed purpose of helping someone make a decision. To buy, rent, use, do, read, see...whatever it is you're writing about. Now, since I don't know you and you don't know me, except through these pages, how I'm going to weight your opinion of whatever-it-is is based only on what you have shown me in your posted opinion. Just like in "real life" (oh dread, oh mercy, say it isn't so!), if you come across as an intelligent, trustworthy person I will be more likely to find your opinion valuable. And, like it or not, that evaluation

Extractions: Home About us Workshops Individual Help ... Academic Staff Support Essay Writing Essay Writing The Purpose of Essays Planning Your Approach Researching the Topic ... Referencing Student essays are often difficult to read because of poorly constructed sentences. Common problems are: Sentence fragments are groups of words that do not express a complete thought, and that do not make sense on their own. e.g. "Research that is poorly conducted." This statement contains a dependent clause ( "that is poorly conducted" ) describing "research", but no main clause. Consequently, it does not make sense by itself. To complete the sense, a statement such as "does not provide reliable results" needs to be added. Often, when a group of words begins with a conjunction , it is a dependent clause , a clause that cannot stand alone as a sentence. Look for the conjunction that signals a dependent clause in a sentence. These are words such as that, when, even though, as, if, so, after, once, unless, until, because, before, since, whenever, wherever, however, although, because, while, which, what, who. A sentence may also be a fragment because it does not contain a subject and/or a verb. e.g. "

Referencing Paragraphing Paragraphing is another important feature of essay structure. Paragraphs are units of thought which help to break a large body of text into smaller sections so that it is easier to read and to understand. In a well-constructed essay each new point in the argument is presented and developed in a new paragraph. Each paragraph of an essay should contain: The topic sentence states the main idea of the paragraph. While it is often the opening sentence, it can also occur in other positions within the paragraph, and may even be the final sentence. The remaining sentences elaborate upon, and provide evidence for, the idea expressed in the topic sentence. There are many ways in which they can do this. Some possible techniques are: definition, classification, analysis, examples and statistics, comparison and contrast, examination of cause and effect Example of paragraph structure topic sentence Whether exercise can also prolong life, and offer protection against coronary disease is less certain.
