What books or study guides do you find most useful and what tips would you give me for taking the GRE in a couple of months I really suck at vocab *analogies and antonyms* i do alright on the reading compr.

also what is considered a good score on the GRE, most of the schools im appling to require a 1100 would it be hard to get that or do i need to study really hard * if it helps i only got like a 940 on the SAT*

all help is good thanks

I have two questions..One about the GRE, and specifically the Math Section.
And my second question being about Grad School and when to get letters of recommendation..

1. I’m planning on taking the revised GRE test in September or October of this year..However, I’m pretty awful at Math..yes, I did get my BA–but thankfully my major only required me to take one math class. I’m worried because I’m even worse at math tests. I plan on studying and practicing the guide given as best as I can..but if I do bomb the math portion (not concerned about the other two) but excel in the other sections…
do you think that will look bad and consider not admitting me? At the moment I’m looking at 2 schools..one the GRE is required, but no specific score is listed, the other a, ’580 should be obtained’ if I do not get a 580 (or however that works out in the revised test because the scores are different) will that automatically be a determining factor?

2. I plan on attending in Fall 2012, quite possibly Fall 2013..At this point I’ll have been an alumni for 2/3 years…what would be the best time to ask for the three recommendations needed? I know who I currently want them to be from (former boss, and two professors) but if 2/3 years have passed..does look bad not having as current recommendations? or good that after that time these people can speak highly of me? Seems like a double edged sword.. So should I just wait until I know for sure if I’m attending in ’12 or ’13?

i want to do masters in country which offers free education.and also that dont need exams like gre toefl etc.

I was only able to get a 2010 guide from the library, will I be fine or 2011 guide is a must?
for Pre revised exam before august

I plan to enroll for a masters degree in 2012, and just discovered that the GRE pattern has been revised. I suck at the math and quant part, i know there are loads of books and guides regarding GRE, but im honestly confused about whether to study on my own or join one of those expensive classes. What do you guys think?
Also, I plan to do my masters in humanities, so do i need to have a brilliant score in math or do they look at the over-all score? HELP!!!

I was just checking out the requirements for UC Davis school of medicine for Physicians assistant and comparing it to their Family Nurse Practitioner master’s program and I noticed there’s a big difference. I once read on YA! that PAs are one step below Doctors (just read about it, don’t know any PAs personally so I don’t know much about them. I neither take that statement as true or false.). To get into the PA program according to this guide, all you needed was an associate degree (did not list in what) and 60 units to apply and take the certificate program. For the FNP-MSN track you had not only to have your BSN but take the GRE as well. This seems a little strange to me considering the previous statement. I expected the MSN to be difficult but I am wondering why the PA program isn’t more difficult than listed to get into (compared to MSN). I got this guide from my local CC and have yet to talk to a counselour about it. But I was wondering:

Can anybody tell me more about PA and exactly what the are/do compared to nurses and doctors?

What is the salaries of PA compared to NP?

Is PA considered a stable and "safe" career to get into now like nursing is supposed to be?

http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos081.htm I read a little bit about PA on here but I am curious as to the specific roles they play in hospitals and other facilities and what people think about that career.

Thanks!
Um, at mellisa. Duh, of coarse you have to be a BSN before you go into the NP that’s apparent. My question was how do they compare to each other. If they are the same level in terms of how they are seen in the hospitals eyes, why are the requirements for PA so low? I don’t know much about PA so I decided to ask about some comparisons. I know it is a little early to ask seeings how I don’t even have my AA yet but I was just curious based on what I heard.

Something more methodical like KAPLAN for GRE

I work for Educational Testing Services (ETS), we’re a standardized testing company that hosts various exams such as the GRE and Praxis.

We sell study material directly off of our website in the form of E-books (Electronic Books) all of which are copyrighted by us, the makers.

One day I was bored and I searched for one of our guides on ebay to see if there was any used copies. I found this guy selling our ebooks (printed out and shipped), this guy purchased our e-book and is not printing out copies and mailing them to people who buy them off him on ebay.

I’m am wondering if this is legal or illegal because he’s not actually sending the file electronically, he’s printing off the file in full and mailing physical copies.

Here is the ebay listing for this guy – tell me if you think this is illegal or legal because of the method he uses to send them.

I want to know if this is worth reporting to my supervisor or if I should let it be.

I’m studying for the SAT right now, and I just tried out a sample essay prompt. Gosh, I must say, the essay is difficult! Anyways, please rate my essay on a scale of 1 to 6 (6 being the best). Here is the scoring guide: https://satonlinecourse.collegeboard.com/SR/viewRubricAction.do?itemLocator=8D9A4109-728A-86DC-9BE4-B7C627C38616-1::Q1

What motivates people to change?

Change is often something we fear and try to avoid. We feel uncomfortable when our environment and normal habits are tampered with. However, change is often essential for progress or for one to achieve an end.

My parents lived in China until their early thirties. They were both very successful engineers, each making a decent living. I was six at the time. However, in the summer of 2000, my parents made the biggest decision of their life – we were moving to the U.S. It was all a very chaotic time for me, but I had no complaints – I was not especially attached to my friends. After we moved to Austin, Texas, life was a bit of a struggle. Neither of my parents could speak English very well; my father devoted two years just to study for his GRE. We abandoned our previous lifestyles for a much more frugal and cautious one. Meanwhile, I was really enjoying my new school, the great teachers, and my new American friends. Suffice it to say, I was in love with Austin.

It was until I was a little older that I understood why we moved, why my parents were willing to give up their stable home and career to live in a cramped one-bedroom apartment in the US. Five summers ago, as I was flipping through some old pictures from back in China, it dawned on me that they did it all for me. Everyone knew that the U.S. held more opportunities for my generation that anywhere in China. My mother and father took this big jump to insure a safe future for me.

I was stunned by this realization. I don’t think I will ever have the courage to change my entire life like my parents did. However I won’t allow all their hard-work go to waste. Only through change can one achieve success, whether it be for yourself or for your children.

Thanks for the feedback! and umm… for those of you who don’t care and aren’t going to read it, could you like not comment.
Deep-
I’m sorry I’m a little confused. You’re saying that you’re not suppose to use personal examples for the ENTIRE essay? also my parents’ need for change was the reason why we moved

I’m studying for the GRE math section, and do not remember how to get the answer easily here!! I know (from my study guide) that the correct ans. is 20. Is there an easy way to do this?? The other possible answer choices were 10; 12; 16; and 60. I don’t even really know how to eliminate any potential choices here. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much!! No more explanation needed. That was exactly the refresher I was looking for.

As the title says I am much more being Attracted to cryptography,but i am not very good at math,but i still like to know the indepth working and fundamentals of the top hashing and encrypting algorithms

When ever i see about cryptography i am seeing these Algorithms and hashing methods
1)AES 2)DES 3)3DES 4)SHA 5)MD5 6)SALTED MD5 7)SSL encryption 8)SSH encryption 9)IP-sec encryption 10)Encryption used in GRE tunnels

I am willing to have some fundamental knowledge about these encryption,ho it works and how it can be cracked or breaked etc,
