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...

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...

Life of ME and Life of PI

Not always can a movie inspire you, test your convictions and question the strength of the faith you hold. Not always can a movie touch the YOU of you. Life of PI is the story of a person named PI who happens to live with a tiger named Richard Parker on a life boat for over 200 days in the midst of Mariana trench, the deepest part of the Earth, near the pacific ocean. Its the story of his survival. On the outset, the story appears as if it is a fairy tale, having some amusing characterizations out of ordinary animals with no apparent special powers. For people who look at things as if they are just ordinary, this movie appears ordinary. It is for those, who can see beyond the ordinary. PI is a vegetarian and believes in more than one religion at the same time. According to his faith, killing animals is a sin, even if it is for the survival. Among his several other belief systems, one is that animals do not think and act, and they always care about survival, and that they do n...
