Work rapidly but carefully. Do no spend too much time on any one question. If you have time after you have finished the test, go back to the questions you have left unanswered.  \nThe three parts of this test are English Usage, Sentence Correction, and Reading Comprehension. When you have finished one part, go right on to the next part without stopping until you reach the end of the test. Read the instructions carefully since your task will NOT bethe same for each section. Please read the sample problem(s) at the beginning of each section thoughtfully.  \nIn order to get the most accurate assessment using this practice test, you should try to duplicate the actual testing situation as closely as possible. When taking this test, you should not use any additional materials, such as dictionaries, or look up the answers to the questions. You should only allow yourself 90 minutes to take this test and should take the entire test in one sitting. If possible, take the test in a quiet room where you will not be interrupted. When you have completed the test, you should score your test using the answer key and scoring instructions provided on the last page.  \nSECTION I-USAGE  \nDirections:  \nSome of the following sentences contain an error in grammar, usage, punctuation, or word choice. Some sentences are correct. No sentence contains more than one error. The error, if there is one, is underlined and lettered. It is permissible to change, add, or delete words or punctuation when correcting the error. Assume that all other elements of the sentence are correct and cannot be changed. In choosing answers, follow the requirements of standard written English.  \nIf there is an error, select the one underlined part that must be changed in order to make the sentence correct. If there is no error, choose the final answer, E.  \nSAMPLE PROBLEMS  \n1. Allan is afraid of the rain, he likes the thunder. No error.  \nA B C D E  \nBecause two sentences divided only by a comma create a comma fault, either a conjunction must be added or the punctuation must be changed to a period or a semicolon. Therefore, C must be changed, and you would choose C. Note: when the punctuation is in question, the underlining may extend beneath a space, as in 1C.  \n2. Maria, who had just eaten, thought concerning having a candy bar or ice cream. No error. A B C D E  \nBecause we do not generally say “thought concerning,” but “thought about,” B must be changed and you would choose B.  \n3. Last spring the roofers replaced the asphalt shingles that a heavy snowstorm damages  \nA B C  \nduring the preceding winter. No error.  \nD E  \nBecause the damage from the snowstorm occurred in the past,“damages” should be replaced with the past tense form,“damaged.” Therefore, C must be changed, and you would choose C. Note: When there is a question about whether a punctuation mark should be added, an extra space is added between words and underlined, as in 3A and 3B.  \n1. It was not until I bought a car and graduating from high school that I dared even to think  \nA B C  \nabout going out with somebody. No error.  \nD E  \n2. When I was in Tiananmen Square, I recall, the pressure was tremendous. Because every  \nA B C  \nminute there was danger. No error.  \nD E  \n3. Franklin the brave warrior that he is, would never run from a fight or shrink from a A B C D  \nchallenge. No error.  \nE  \n4. The great tenor’s high notes, his amazingly sustained breathing, his exquisitely nuanced A B C  \nphrasing--all these contribute to the most awesome sound in the world. No error.  \nD E  \n5. Employees are to report to work as usual, however, they will be excused between 12:00 and A B  \n1:00 p.m. to attend events or observances oftheir choosing. No error.  \nC D E  ","cbCaiogdgPgk8JFX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiogdgPgk8JFX","pdf",137686,32,"English","# General Instructions\n# Section I - Usage\n## Directions\n## Sample Problems","[{\"question\":\"How long is the practice exam, and how should you pace it?\",\"answer\":\"You have 90 minutes.
