1. It is necessary to do a lot of studying for this exam. (a lot is two words, not one)
2. I spent very little time studying for my exams, except this one. (other and except aren't in the same tense. There should be a comma after exams)
3. Besides this term paper, I have no new homework this week. (s at the end of beside)
4. She behaved badly when the substitute entered the room. (badly not bad)
5. May I be exempt from this exam? (gramatically it should be may, and u caught the q mark)
6. I could have been a contender.
7. I dressed formally for the prom. (subject agreement, no comma. Or it could be "For the prom I dressed formally." formally, not formerly (in the past) )
hope this helped

1. A lot is two words.
2. The syntax (way the sentence is put together) is not very good all around.
4. It's badly, not bad, because it is an adverb, not an adjective.
7. The word is formally, not formerly. Formerly means a previous event or action.
Hope this helped!

1. a lot
2. except should be "including"...otherwise the sentence doesn't make sense.
3. Beside should be besides
4. behaved badly
5. Can I should be May I
6. ??? - seems fine to me
7. formerly should be formally.
