<p>the score of my essay ,i think,will be 6 to 10. so I need improve my WR score though MC questions. the problem is I ALWAYS get 42,43 (raw score). How did you raise your score to 47,48? </p>
<p>And I analyized my errors in 3 parts of grammar problems.
1.in I.S.,neglect a better choice,or haven't met the use of grammar(see note below)
Note:Twice as many bird species inhabit Ecuador (as inhabit) North American.
I haven't come up with this style of inversion.</p>
<p>2.in I.E.,wrongfully choose A,B,C,or D while there's no error.</p>
<p>3.in I.P.,wrong on questions like this one:
Example:You can eve buy posters of his paintings!
It should be changed to One can even buy posters of his paintings. (oct05)
Why? I still wonder now.</p>
<p>11.Twice as many bird species inhabit Ecuador (as inhabit) North America.（may07)
Why not "as do"?</p>
<p>16.During my most recent trip,I came across a wonderful antique store (wandering) in the old quarter of the city.
what's wrong with "wandering"（may07)</p>
<ol>
<li>Although familiar to us from ...,war chariots are ......
I think it should be "Although war chariots are familiar to us...,they are....".But the answer is E(may07)</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>This is not an incorrect sentence. The issue lies in the fact that it is in the second person. I don't know if this was the only part of the question, but I think they generally like for answers to be in the third person (rather than second). And the point of view should be consistent within the entire passage.</p></li>
<li><p>The problem with "as do" is that it does not maintain the parallel structure of the sentence. Also, it's missing a preposition, such as "in". </p></li>
<li><p>Nothing is wrong with the word "wandering". The only issue is the placement of the word. In this sentence, it makes it seem as though the antique store is wandering, not the narrator.</p></li>
<li><p>The reason that the sentence is correct is that the phrase at the beginning of the sentence ("Although...") correctly modifies war chariots. What you said is not wrong, but the initial answer was right (and less wordy).</p></li>
</ol>
<p>As a general note about writing questions: Answers that say, "no error", or repeat the underlined phrase, will generally appear every 5 questions. While you should definitely NOT go strictly by this rule and change answers so they fit this, just try to be mindful of it (and when you're looking over the answers, keep track of which ones were answered this way).</p>
<p>Finally, if you come across some grammar questions that you have absolutely no idea about, you can skip them. it's better than just randomly guessing on them.</p>
<p>One more quick point: if an answer seems unnecessarily long (even if it is grammatically correct), there is probably a better answer. So look for an answer that says the same thing but more succinctly.</p>

<p>I can't agree with this more.
Thanks for your guidance. But how I can improve my score from 42 to 48?</p>
