The answer to your question would be that the sentence "John wants to really do well on this exam" contains the following error: Split infinitive.

A split infinitive, also known as as cleft infinitive, is a grammatical construction in which a word or phrase comes between the <em>to </em>and the bare infinitive form of the <em>to</em> form of the infinitive verb. Usually, an adverb or adverbial phrase comes between them. In this case, the word between the infinitive particle and the bare form is the adverb "really".

This sentence contains split infinitive. John wants to really do well - you see that the infinitive is split here by introducing <em>really </em>between <em>to </em>and <em>do. </em>If you can, you should avoid doing that, it would be better to say John really wants to do well...

Alenkasestr [34]
<u>Omniscient narrator</u>:
This is a common 3rd person narrator in which the person of the tale knows everything, from private thoughts, secret or hidden events, to jumping betweens time. However, the narrator does not tell the reader or viewer everything, until it has a great affect on the story. This is used throughout the story, and the story line can change whenever. For example, if i am a omniscient narrator, i would be able to tell you what every single character is thinking, their actions, and their consequences. You will be able to know whatever they think & do. An example of this is: Bob is angry, because Tom broke his favorite toy. Bob thought, "I will repay Tom for what he has done". He devised a plan that included destroying all of Tom's toys. In the dead of night, when all others are sleeping, Bob went to Tom's house, and bashed and scattered his toys around. The next day, when Tom awoke, he screamed. His parents came and called the police.... etc etc

This showed that even though the other people in the story did not know who did it (yet) or what his thoughts were that led to his actions, the reader him/her self knew what was going on.

hope this helps
