I flunked. :(
I hate tests.

May I ask a quick question
Она занимается ... музыкой
Why instrumental case?

Would you say
Она занимается русским языком.

I am thinking that it would be accusative case
Она занимается русский язык

Apparently, "занимается" is a verb which is always followed by the instrunmental case.

I think.

"Заниматься" is not a transitive verb (because of "-ся"), that's why it can't be followed by the accusative case.

95%

It seems to me, though, that the test itself was not written by native russian speakers. for example...

После каникул я опять пошла в школу.

Ok thats cool, but it doesnt really make sense. You mean you Ходила??? Or maybe you just forgot your wallet before summer vacation and went baqck to get it before you dropped out.

The 2 I got wrong,

Повторите это правило ...
1. про себя
2. за себя

Repeat this about youtself? Bepeat it for yourself. Its not the right 'for' but i didnt think any of the answers made much sense. And the other question was the carpet one... But that was just because of my lack of knowledge about participles.

Q 25. Каждый день я иду ... в университет
Good for you... Do you ever go home?

Пошла - это правильно. Означает, что она опять начала это действие (ходить в школу).
Ходила здесь будет уместно, если рассказчик хочет показать, что действие длилось какое-то время.

100% :))
although, I guess one could say "[это] она [негодяйка] насоветовала мне посмотреть этот фильм", и "он ходит в бассейн, когда [водобоязнь его немного отпускает, и он опять] любит воду" :)

"poshla" is correct. "hodila" would be unnatural, unless you wanted to say something like "after the vacation, I was going to school again for a couple months, but then finally dropped out".

There are some.

1. Как ты думаешь, ... он думает?
Choice 1 чего
Choice 3 о чем

a) Повтор "думаешь ... думает" выглядит неэстетично.

б) Считаю, что "продвинутый" студент, не говоря уже о носителях, имеет право на "Choice 1". Смысл будет совсем другим.

2. Приняв мои замечания, Саша согласился.

Странная фраза. Похожа на "масло масляное". Намного лучше "выслушав".

3. Если вы хотите сдать экзамен, вы должны хорошо ...
готовиться
готовить

А если экзамен сдает повар? :)
