The GRE com

I’m looking into buying a laptop for college use. I’m wondering which brand to buy, and it seems that it is down to Dell vs. Toshiba. I’ll be using it for college school work, music, and some photo editing. Which would you recommend?

I came across this site with GRE practice questions, and these questions seem extremely easy. The GRE is much more difficult, right?

probably going to take the GRE in the fall, and would like to prepare for the next two months or so.

please send me audio/video study matedrial for GRE GMAT CAT. or related websites.

Please suggest me any good book which I can study for GRE.
Thanks.

I know that the OAT is specifically for optometry schools, but do I need to take the GRE as a requirement for the university which I a graduating from? (DePaul University, Chicago IL)

Thank you

what is the maximum fees structure for MS from usa..and is there any option to take education loan to study abroad?

Right out of college I bought a brand new car. I had my thrill but I’ll never do it again because cars depreciate so much in the first few years. Last year I bought a 3-year old Land Cruiser for about K (which sold for K new). I love it. Anyway, is it a smart idea to buy a used laptop? I have a desktop computer (HP Pentium 4, 2.53 GHz, 512 RAM) that works fine and I actually like the speed better than an HP Compaq NC6000 laptop which I sometimes use (and all I know about that baby is it has an M processor). Anyway, I want to add a used laptop to help me do business when I travel and mostly for surfing. I’ve got a budget of about 0 but I figure I’ll probably have to bump that up to 0 or 0 to get something that’s okay. Don’t need a whole lot of storage for files. Do want built-in wifi capability. I’m a big ebay shopper too. What can I buy? Is my budget too low? What minimum specs should I look for considering my needs? What’s your favorite beer?

I am an Indian. My brother has written his GRE and scored 1060. Will it be difficult for him to get an admission in a good university with this score? Will his score affect his US visa processing in any way because i have been hearing stories off-late that a lot of the students visa is being rejected?

I took the GRE recently and it is the only opportunity I had to submit scores to prospective programs. Bottomline is I did horrible on it. I have an above average GPA and I have outstanding recommendations and job experience.

How should I market myself to deflect attention, or explain my poor performance on my exam?

I took a practice GRE today and am trying to figure out how to determine my scores ((200 to 800)) based on the percent I got. I know that there is a complex way of scoring the real GRE that involves taking into account the difficulty level of each question, but is there an easy way to get a ballpark idea of how well I did so that I know how much I need to improve before taking the actual GRE?
There does not seem to be scoring instructions in the book that contains the test.

I am a junior right now and I plan on taking GRE next year (I hope I am not too late). People recommend to take it before it changes in september. And I also heard that we should register early because there will be many people trying to take it before it changes.

So my questions are:

1. How long does it take to prepare for it?

2. Can I register early (like now) for a test half a year in advance?

3. Do you recommend taking GRE before it changes also?

4. My weakest portion is the verbal. I heard that it’s helpful to read newspapers/megazines to learn more new words. Which one do you recommend?

5. If I want to leave enough time to retake the GRE (only if I need to), how much time should I put off before September (including receiving the score from the first test and then register and take the second one befoer September)?

Thanks a lot!

need lots of memory for pics, great battery life and efficiency, and good price…college student
No macs, AMDs, compaqs please.

I want to apply to a Masters in Computer Science in the US. I got 780 in the quantitative section and 460 in the verbal section of GRE. A site that, according to my scores, suggests me universities would be great. Any school suggestion according to my scores will be appreciated too.

Thanks in advance

Keep in mind that I don’t know any of the Math and really bad at vocabulary.

How much did you (they) improve your score after taking it?

What is the best book to use to prepare for the Quantitative/Math section of the GRE?

NOT the mathematics section of the GRE…but the Individual GRE SUBJECT TEST.
How hard is it for a traditional math major to complete. Beyond Multivar Calc and Linear Algebra, I have taken 1 semester of Analysis and 1 semester of Abstract Algebra.

Thanks.

Im an incoming freshman in the fall and i will be commuting to campus (15 mins away). I have a desktop at home and was wondering is a laptop necessary? I am a pre-nursing major right now and im not doing anything with graphics or computers. My parents have already bought me a laptop and i was wondering if it would be a good idea to just return it?
im still mixed about it. im going to email my advisor and ask around. thanks for all the answers!
