Faiz Kazi - My GRE Preparation
Faiz Kazi
B.Sc., Electronics
New College, Chennai.
Software Developer, Chennai.
"The decision to take the GRE was a big one for me. I come from a non-engineering background, and I was employed at the time as a software developer. After nearly two years in the field, I felt the need to further my education and move ahead - I took the drastic step of quiting my job all together.
At this point it was clear to me that both time and money were precious and I could not afford to make a wrong move by randomly joining a mainstream training program.
In this regard, the actual usefulness of my experiences with the personnel at Ascent Education proved very valuable - given the small timeframe I had for preparation.
The well-documented and practical 'howtos' that comprise the study material were significant to me in overcoming my problem areas: Logical Reasoning in the GRE Analatyical section, and Data Interpretation (charts & graphs) in Quant. It was interesting to note that the material as well as the personal advise, stressed on concepts and understanding - all of which were quite simple to implement; I recall my Analytical score touched 700 from the starting point of a mere 510 - 560 - once these concepts hit home.
As for Verbal, I do not recall a single interaction when I was not quized rapid-fire vocabulary questions - Also, the reading tips I picked up were effective in raising my RC performance.
Equally important were a few invaluable tips I picked up on managing time, stress and handling attitude - I believe these relatively intangible factors play an important role, and in this respect, I certainly fared much better than I would have.
