Cracking the GRE 320+

1 Cracking the GRE 320+ What does GRE check & how does it do so: You know that GRE is a standardized test, and that its score is valid for FIVE years. Imagine about 7 lac people taking GRE every year; different days, different sets of questions, and yet the scores are valid and comparable. This is because of extensive and elaborate statistical processes the test design has built in * (Talk to our counselor for the whole story and how our tutoring is designed on this grasp of ours). Can you explain why candidates, who ve scored a score, say 290, are repeatedly unable to score beyond +-20, unless they change their basic approach! This is because the test doesn t evaluate knowledge all candidates who ve worked a decent 2-3 months happen to have virtually the same knowledge. Right? The test gauges your psychological make-up (how you react to complex situations with nervousness? how you react to simple problems- with over confidence? etc) and thus the test traps you again and again, even though the apparent form of the question is varied. We alter this approach of yours dramatically. You thus experience a massive quantum shift. Why a Profile is needed Beyond the GRE Scores: US Colleges don t rely on GRE scores alone for granting admissions. They look at multiple considerations, viz. Academic Record Extra-Curriculars, esp. at Global Level Recommendation Letters Leadership Potential Interview (and possibly a group exercise) Community Service Diversity you bring to the class Statement of Purpose / Essays Employment history TOEFL Score, if it s very high (similarly Potential impact on society IELTS Band) *Nischay helps in building this profile through the Nischay Comprehensive Groomer

5 A Sample Story Brigadier Raulph ignored the CARDINAL principles of humanity and ordered CARNAGE in the BUCOLIC surroundings of Myanmar in order to pressurize the Khmer Rouge to CAPITULATE. His BOISTEROUS CAVALCADE moved on with the CELERITY of a CENTAUR and indulged in CAROUSAL. The news of this POKILO-POGROM of the BOURGEOIS spread like fire and Raulp s unit was called for causing a CATASTROPHE, which had led to CATACLYSM in the country. At the base, Raulph BROACHED the subject of violation of human rights with BOMBAST and was successful in arousing a sense of nationalism in the CALLOW jury by his CANARDS. The BOORISH Brigadier was CALLOUS and had given in to CARNAL pleasures rather than CEREBRAL pursuits, leading to CASTIGATION by a CAUCUS of peers. Though his BUFFOONERY had endeared him to many, his BRUSQUE and CANTANKEROUS behavior had earned him the reputation of a CANKER. In order to BURNISH and BUTTRESS his images, Raulph CAJOLED some of his seniors into nominating him for a bravery award. * We take you through numerous such Vocab Fixing Stories * Separate Brochures for GRE Subject Test.
