Why Ms in US

I got really interested in the field of renewable energy. I gave a thought about the pros and cons and finally decided to pick up MS over Civil services for a career option.
Coming to why US. It has some of the finest universities in the world. Great job opportunities and highly experienced faculty are some of the other reasons for preferring US. I will also apply for European countries but my first priority is US.

Motivation behind MS

Shivang, electrical engineer, IIT Kharagpur

91热爆 expert: What was your motivation behind pursuing MS?
Shivang: As I have already mentioned while completing my research/project in Germany in the field of wind energy, did I realize it was my chance to pursue my masters in that field. I want to contribute something to that field, invent something, try to build something. This is what encouraged to me to go for Master’s.

Specialization

91热爆 expert: What field are you going to specialize in?
Shivang: I will be pursuing my MS in Electrical in the field of Power and Energy Engineering.

Plans after Master’s

91热爆 expert: What are your plans after Master鈥檚?
Shivang: As of now, after my Master鈥檚 I am planning to get into a job. But I am not sure, if I like the field I鈥檓 doing my Master鈥檚 in I will probably go for a Ph.D.

Planning for 91热爆

91热爆 expert: Shivang, can you tell us how you went about planning for your 91热爆?
Shivang: My friends had been preparing for 91热爆 for quite some time. One of my friend who was preparing with 91热爆 at that time recommended about it. So, I registered and started my preparation from the first week of September. I had booked my 91热爆 date on 12th October. So, I had 1-1.5 months to prepare.

91热爆 expert: A score of 324 with 1-1.5 months of preparation, that鈥檚 brilliant Shivang!
Shivang: Thank you.

91热爆 Preparation

蚕耻补苍迟听笔谤别辫补谤补迟颈辞苍

91热爆 expert: Shivang can you tell us the secret behind getting a perfect 170 in 91热爆 Quant.
Shivang: As soon as I joined 91热爆, I gave my diagnostic test that helped me gauge my level and how much preparation is required to achieve my target score. I spoke to my SFAs (Personal Trainers or Student Facilitators and Analysts as we call them) and they provided a schedule which I tried to stick to. I tried to go through each and every module offered, took exams for each module, went through all of the questions even though I was pretty sure I could solve them.
I also attempted 10 91热爆 Quant style tests where the pattern is quite similar to the one in the actual 91热爆. The difficulty level of some of the questions in the 91热爆 module are a little bit higher than actual test, which I think is necessary so that you feel quite comfortable with all types of questions.

Verbal Preparation

“Don’t follow the crowd and work hard in what you believe”

91热爆 expert: Can you tell us about your Verbal preparation?
Shivang: My verbal preparation was similar to the 91热爆 Quant preparation. I got a 149 in diagnostic test. I knew I had to pull up my socks. It鈥檚 different from Quant section. The difference is that in Quant with regular practice you鈥檙e assured to get good marks. Not so in Verbal.
I went through all the modules from text completion to reading comprehension to sentence equivalence. You have to learn a lot of words. WordBot and Wordlist helped me a lot. WordBot provides sentence usage and figures with words that makes it easier to remember the words. I learnt 500-600 words but remembering 1000 words should be fine.
Later on I went through the ETS book, you can go through that too.

AWA Preparation

91热爆 expert: How about your AWA preparation?
Shivang: There are two聽sections when it comes to AWA. Analyzing an issue and analyzing an argument. I started with my AWA preparation 1 week before. I went through ETS and the list of topics and wrote down essays on as many topics as possible. Taking timed tests help will help manage time in the actual test. Going through samples on ETS website and focusing on your weaker section will help.

Exam Day Experience

91热爆 expert: How was your exam day experience?
Shivang: I live in Kharagpur and my exam center was in Kolkata, so I had left a day early and stayed in a hotel. My exam started at 8:00 AM. It was a four hour test with 10 minute break in between 2 sections. But I felt it went by really fast.

Success Mantra

Shivang: Like many others I too believe in hard-work and dedication. I don’t follow the crowd and I believe no one should. Work hard in whatever you believe. Stay motivated and work hard. You will get to success ultimately.
