last 2 writing questions. "at the center" vs "to build" and last one probably no error.

- "at the center vs to build" - the correct answer is "to build".
- the last one was no error. the sentence that started with "that"

also the writing question with "explanation of" was No Error.

do you actually have your score report with you or did you only get to look at it? also did you omit any? i love the math curve but -5 71 seems so generous.

If what your saying is correct then I'm likely to be a NMSF. I hope you're right.
