New GRE Revised Test

About to take new GRE?? And did not undergo any coaching? Do you need to bother?

NO.YOU.DON'T.NEED.TO. Unless and until you know certain things! 

 New GRE is more like GMAT. Meaning, more than your vocab skills, your analytic and critical thinking skills     are exploited. It is highly likely that all the words they use are the ones you are already familiar with. So, what should you worry about? The trap lies in the fact that, many of a times, all the options given seem to be so good to fit the blanks provided. So, to get these questions right, start reading newspapers, magazines apart from practicing ETS questions regularly. Remember that, more than reading Kaplan, Manhattan, Princeton, Barrons, or whatever solving questions framed by ETS is very important. That is to get familiarized with the way ETS frames questions. 
And regarding math, it is very very easy to crack the section and bag a score of 750-800. And getting a score of 500+ in verbal entirely depends on how well you are comfortable with reading. And a little bit on your vocab bank. If you can get to see a tougher section in Vocab, it is 90% assured that you will score 500+.
Remember that it is not very much necessary to score well in AWA. In fact, many schools do not need AWA score for their evaluation. So, if you are determined as to where you want to do your graduation, it is better to check through their website to find out whether they need AWA score or not. 
However, it is imperative to get scores if you want to send your scores to B schools as well!
Calculator is probably the best among the best features that are added to new GRE. Other good features include : 
  • Section wise adaptive, rather than question wise adaptive.
  • You can change your answers, bookmark the questions, review them anytime in the time frame for that particular section.
  • You are only needed to take two sections of each, verbal and quant, apart form the experimental section which can be either verbal or quant.
  • You can select your colleges after receiving your scores.
NOTE: In order to select the college, you want to send your application to, you would need to know the location of the college. (State in which it is located). So, make sure that you know where those colleges are located.

Lokpal Bill - Will it succeed?

Anna Hazare Firstly, I would like to express my full support to the formulation of Jan Lokpal bill, with norms as suggested by Mr.Anna hazare, a former army man. While it is becoming increasingly popular to threaten or black mail the government by non-violence and violence methods, we cannot quote this sort of action badly!! He grabbed the attention of public and media so quickly because he is in no way connected to any political party or any organization that involves in political activities. This sort of protests have been made before on the issue of corruption and none of them were taken so seriously as this. This might be because, all those protests are concentrated on a single segment of corruption and seeks to get justice in that issue. A single issue that's brought into front light is always vulnerable to criticism as a lot of loop holes can be found to get out of it. But, Hazare's protest is very different. He is not asking for justice in a segment, he is asking to a...

What not to do while organizing an event in college! !

Hi friends! The purpose of this blog is to share with you guys, the events and situations that lead to the failure of my event hosted in Daksh 2010, a quiz on astronomy, by the name "Cosmic Panorama". I am an astronomy freak. Night skies have always fascinated me. That crush has even led me to make a visit to ISRO, SriHarikota which only enhanced my interest. So, when I returned to the college, I had a thought of organizing some event that shows how interesting and fascinating astronomy is.. After a long pause, me and two of my friends, came up with an idea of conducting astronomy quiz. This may not be very interesting, but that is all we could think of!! May be this is the FIRST thing you should not do. i.e., don't contain yourself with the thought you got first, keep thinking, you could get a better one , like, some Jeopardy style, creative solutions type, like that. Appeals more than a quiz,right?? Alright, then we shared our thoughts in the meetings. They liked ...
