Dear Farouk, thanks so much..we wish you all the best for all your future projects!!
Regards,
Hi Farouk, first and foremost understand the title of the essay..keep your language simple and lucid. Try to make use of active voice as much as possible. Do not beat around a point. Fill your essay with proofs and examples and finally let not the focus shift.
Regards,
Dats exactly wat my teacher always emphasize back in high sch. But the essays i went through dat got high scores re usually using big words n compound sentences. I m afraid a simple language ll not be good enough.
And again, i dont live in d united states n i m not actually a ‘news man’. i e, i dont listen 2 d news often, so d examples i may give may not be popular n current. Will local events suffice?
hey anu,
i will b visiting this site regularly from now on….i have done all the word lists once but i m not particularly thorough with them.i am planning to start the prep again with this site.please advise me about how to start prep using this site and to do things available on this site in which order…. .i m planning 2 give gre xam in sept end or October start….so i need to finish with this vocabulary part till august end..is this okay ?? I will b greatly obliged by ur guidance.
one more thing,this site is developing at a rapid pace…this web site is incredible for gre vocab learning in fact the best 1.
AMEY
Dear Farouk, the content of your essay not the language matters..it doesn’t mean you need to use a language that is not consistent..focus on the subject is more important…one needs to express not impress…:-)
Regards,
Your examples shud sound genuine…ur essays need not reflect your general awareness…but apart from essays I think u need to stay tuned to the latest things happening around you and keep adding to your knowledge…
Regards,
Dear Amey, thanks a ton…I think u shud start taking the tests in alphabetical order…take all the tests..the synonyms tests and the antonyms and rate ur performance..besides this also try to solve a few previous GRE papers..make learning an enjoyable process not a stress generating one..that’s first and foremost..and have realistic deadlines..nevertheless keep urself open to new vocabulary any day, any time..read papers like the Economic Times and journals like the National Geographic that will expose you to contemporary vocabulary…and finally wishing you success!!
Regards,
thanx anu for your valuable suggestions…..i will surely follow them .
i will ask u if i get caught into any vortex….thanx for helping.
take care and keep smiling…
Yes sure Amey, pls do get back to us as and when u have a doubt…
Wishing u success!!

sir, i sent a mail regarding the the sway of the analytical aspect of the GRE on my ambition to further my studies in USA, but no replied has been sent to me yet. why?
in case my question didn’t get to you, this was what i meant.
I am resolute in passing both the quantitative and the verbal section of the GRE, but my fear is the analytical section. i have decided to shirk that section. could it affect my overall dreams of perusing my masters program in petroleum engineering in USA? Or if I write and could not do well as may be expected by the officials in charge of admission, will i be denied of admission? I dreadfully need help.
Dear Opong, we did answer to your query the same day..
Dear Opong, you cannot do away with the analytical writing section, u ought to take it invariably…
please, i need guidelines and what exactly is the impact of analytical essays on admission. Do all grad schools in USA consider the AW.? I am asking this because there are some issue prompts that i have no idea about. help
Dear Opong, all good Universities value AWA…and as I told u earlier u need to practice a lot on the questions that u are not very comfortable with. You can jot down all the issue questions that are troubling u, research on them I mean understand the question thoroughly, write and get them evaluated by an expert. U need to work Opong…fortunately or unfortunately there is no respite from hard work..:-)
