WHAT KIND OF STRATEGY I TAKE FOR GRE PREPARATION . I M A FRESHER
Irfan u first need to decide the specialization you want to research on..then talk to ur HOD’s regarding the best American Universities offering that program..Your thesis work in the subject and the Recommendation letters from the HOD give you edge..regarding GRE u naturally need to score decently and see to it that ur GRE score complements ur academic performance so far..u need to tell us about the specialization u r opting for..GRE is an exam that can be registered online..you need to visit http://www.ets.org..for registering and knowing the details..
Hi Irfan, first estimate ur learning speed..there’s nothing like a common strategy for all..u should know how fast/slow u learn and decide the time frame..but u have to do this judiciously..:)
here there are small mistakes, for example,
here senile means confused but correct meaning in barrons book is old age or feeblemindedness of old age.
i thought senile is equal to fluster or fulumox as they told it means confuse.
anyone there to clear my dob\ubt?

please provide me test of ’s’ keep change it after the test it is same so please change
