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.

4th and 5th dimensions of personality

Recently, on 9th of April this year, I have attended a workshop that was conducted in our college campus by Vivekananda Kendra , Kanyakumari. The session has been so influencing that all the people who were there in the workshop have been magnetized by the words of the swamiji who presided the session. They did not expect even a single penny from our side for conducting workshop, what they expected from us was, to spread the message that has been given to us to the masses! When we have been blessed with such a great wisdom, it is our duty to be gratifying for them. Personality can be divided into 5 types, they say. Mental  Physical Intellectual Emotional Spiritual Those 4th and 5th named ones are what I am talking about.. We have been taught well right from the inception of our education, or even before the first three dimensions, by our parents,teachers and maybe,friends. But, we stopped the pursuit of achieving good personality as soon as we feel that we have those three thing

SAGA OF COLORS

SAGA OF COLORS             Speaking of colors is not as simple as it seems! It intertwines physics of light , the physiology of vision and our psychological perceptions . Colors have been used in psychology for mental and physical healing. They have been used across almost all cultures and countries to represent certain beliefs and ideas. For example: Indians consider white as the color representing peace, saffron for sacrifice, green for happiness and likewise red has been considered as the color for danger all over the world and hence it is used in painting danger boards, important instructions that are not supposed to be missed etc., Although many such things are formulated based on aesthetic appeal made by the color, some have scientific explanations too, which I will be covering in this article. Similarly, we will also discuss the role of colors in science, entertainment, psychology, photography, art. Colors intertwines physics of light, ph

Small Town Data Business

All softwares are available here.. If you are living in a town, then chances are that you would have seen it quite often at several internet shops. Not just this. Mobile ringtones, songs are downloaded here.. And by the above sentence, they are trying to tell you that, downloads, are something different from regular browsing and that you might have to pay for them, if you want any. And what about the charges ? Almost as much as Apple Inc. is charging for (in many places). And what about the Quality and Genuineness? Not a bit. What's more? The people who work there will try to convince you that, the content that they are trying to sell you, is 100% Original, and only they are doing it for the lowest prices in the town, and might even add an extra clause saying, 'This content is very rare'. To conversation between such an Internet Shop owner and a customer (who apparently do not know much about internet) goes somewhat like this. Customer : I have a mobile phone. I w
