You must already be at your pseudo-testing area, starting the PSAT... but break a leg! And of course it's a practice exam, so regardless of your results, the PSAT's only a guide.
That is very good, as I don't think I did so well. But, seriously - these tests? Are moronic. I mean, what exactly is the point of featuring grammar that may be technically correct, but no one would ever accept as proper English? I suspect that this is the result of outsourcing. Or something. I mean, I would totally make these sorts of mistakes if, say, I was trying to write a test in Spanish. But no one whose first language was English could come up with these questions. They're just that ridiculous.
Pseudo-testing in that it's a practice exam. And since it is (and I'm curious now), what's an example of grammar usage tested that no one accepts despite its being technically correct?
I don't remember any specific examples - to be honest, I was probably doing my best to shut it all out! - but the sentences were just... odd. Like a sixth-grader trying to write a formal essay, and putting in all these phrases they don't really know how to use to make it sound academic.
