Education & Reference - 8 December 2007

I have to identify the grammar mistake in this question:

"This article tries to test a theory."

But when I replace 'tries' with 'trys' it still doesn't work. I need to know what is wrong with the sentence and how to fix it. Help please :)

Is the high school system working properly, do students know how to read, write, and calculate when they graduate, or is this the reason they need extra classes in college?

i'm right now in engineering in my first year. i had my first semester, but so far all i've seen is stress... even tho i will do my best just to get a good result in the end. however, i'm not exactly sure if this is the field i really want because my math and physics aren't that good at the moment... should i go into general studies and find out the area i really like or should i stay in engineering because general studies is too broad?

Hello. I'm currently a stay at home mom. My oldest who is 4yrs old is in pre-K and my two little ones stay at home. My 4yr old has diffulty in pronouncing the letter F; he replaces it with the letter S. Instead of saying four, he says sour, sive, soot. Yet he can say the letter F, but is unable to say words that begin with the letter F. The school has recommended speech therapy, I honestly do not see the need if there is something that I can do at home before I go that route. I am also wondering if this will affect my 2yr old speech as well, because my 2yr old does not want to repeat new words that I introduce to him. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

When Jackson got on the elevator he was 60 feet above ground level. When he got off on the lowest parking level, he was 24 feet below ground level. How far did the elevator travel down?

I think I got 36 or something because I subtracted, and that's not the right answer.

The problem says "put the following numbers into the standard form of scientific notation:

234 x 10 ^-3"

The answer said 34 x 10 ^-1
How on earth did they get that answer? Why did they get rid of the 2?

I am applying for a graduate school and completing its online application.
I completed the research interest part and also wrote the statement of research interest, where I explained about the related project that I have worked on during my undergraduate studies. I also explained my work experience in this field and what I learned in my work experience.

But due to the difficult living situation where I studied, my GPA is almost 2.9 and their minimum requirements is having GPA of 3.

Although they have mentioned that exceptional cases are also accepted, if the applicant has a significant work experience in the related area to this field and I think I have that experience in both my undergraduate project and my work.

But I don't know how can I explain and what I should explain in this part?

Nowhere in the online application asks about the GPA or grades at this level of online application but later I should send them the grades.

Comment part says "If you have any additional comments that may assist the Graduate Committee in adjudicating your application, provide them below"

Please help me to write it properly as I have both strong and week points together.
