If I enter incorrect information during the 91热爆 registration, can I correct it later?

Most of the information that you enter can be corrected, except your Name and Birth Date, and hence, you must take extra care while filling in these two fields. However, it is advisable that you double check before proceeding, every step of the way, to prevent the hassle and confusion of having to make changes later on.

The post New to 91热爆? A Step-by-Step Guide to ETS 91热爆 Registration appeared first on 91热爆 Blog.

The way you fashion your 91热爆 preparation decides your performance in each section and ace the test. Even though scoring 320 in 91热爆 is definitely not a finger-snapping activity, it is achievable with smart 91热爆 prep courses.

We will lay down some proven strategies that will enable you to crack the 320 mark in 91热爆 with much ease and surety.

#1: Ace those words

There is much talk about typical 91热爆 words, which if mastered would ensure you are ahead in the race. All of that is no trash talk, and actually, that bunch of 3500 91热爆 words goes a long way in getting you tuned to the words that will pop up during your 91热爆.听For example, learning words can help you differentiate between similar answer choices in Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence type questions.

91热爆 Pro Tip: However, learning all 3500 words can be quite a mammoth task, especially if you are pressed for time.听A better way to approach this situation is to target learning, remembering, and applying 1000-1200 91热爆 words that appear in the High Frequency/Priority Lists.听A fun way to learn words and remember them is to relate it to memorable picture clues. Since we remember movie scenes better than text, you are twice as likely to remember the word with a suitable picture.

#2) The 2-Minute Rule

One of the most profound unofficial rules to appearing for 91热爆 is to avoid spending more than 2 minutes on any given question. The format and structure of this test are designed such that, you have听20 questions & 35 minutes for Quant and 20 Questions & 30 minutes for Verbal.

However, note that not all of the questions you encounter will require you to spend 2 minutes. One good way to go about allocating your time is to follow a system based on difficulty level.

For example, you can allocate time by strictly following a target time for each type of question.听

#3: All hail the Official Guide to 91热爆

There is no doubt that the, issued by ETS, is the most authoritative material for 91热爆 test preparation and if you were to ignore its importance, you are mistaken.

Since ETS conducts 91热爆, you can be sure that you will find accurate 91热爆-style questions in this Guide. Practising from here will help you get a hang of what to expect on your D-Day. Of course, the book is not exhaustive for your preparation, but its importance is paramount. Also, since 91热爆 is an online test, practising from a book alone may not be the best for improving your time management skills.听

#4: Master Mental Math Tricks

Go back to your school days. Dust up your old school books, if you have them. If you don鈥檛, find kids around you who could lend you some of those!

Quick calculations, being on your feet with arithmetic, and having the quintessential formula on your fingertips will be key to pacing through the Quant section.听Being able to 鈥淢ental Math鈥� the points where the graph for x2 = 12 鈥� x would touch the axes will give you those extra 30 seconds to solve the next question 鈥� which would otherwise be lost in rearranging the equation and solving for the roots of the equation.

Working through the sections this way will help you save some valuable time, which can be better utilized for real problem areas like Reading Comprehension.

91热爆 Pro Tip: Quite often, students who score 160+ in Quant are able to unconsciously visualize the problem. Developing a knack for this type of mathematical modeling helps you.

听#5:听Template to the rescue!

For every Reading Comprehension passage, make a habit of creating a flowchart or mind map. This will strengthen your understanding, help you make connections between different ideas presented, and enable you to access data that is most relevant to the question asked.

If you have an engineering background or some experience with solving physics problems, you鈥檇 remember how your favorite lecturer would advise taking the Free Body Diagram route to solve any problem statement. Since every problem crafted for 91热爆 is essentially based on typical frameworks of concepts, taking such flow-/map-based approach could help you reverse engineer the problem statement.

For example, when faced with a Reading Comprehension question, utilize the following template to dissect a paragraph into a sequence of ideas.

This type of reading is called Analytical Reading. It is the concept of breaking down a complex passage into a series of ideas that are interconnected by a common theme/purpose.听

To understand more about Analytical Reading, click here:

91热爆 Pro Tip: You can also use the template to write your AWA essays. This works both ways because reading and writing are complementary skills. That is why it is also highly effective to read newspaper articles twice a day, particularly the Editorial/Opinion Column of leading newspapers such as The Hindu or NY Times. These columns, written by the editors of the papers themselves, use the same kind of language and argumentative style of English.

#6:听A Mock is a Must!

You have to be in Zen Mode when in session for your 91热爆 test. The 91热爆 is a 4-hour long exam fraught with its own set of booby traps. If you’re听not alert enough, you could easily make silly mistakes along the way and lose valuable points.

To tackle this, you must accustom yourself to the 91热爆 test environment as much as possible. Investing in an effective 91热爆 mock test source can go a long way in helping you increase your focus, attention, and concentration. 听

You see, there are many听free 91热爆 practice test strewn across the internet, but hardly a handful would ever be remotely close enough to the real 91热爆. There is no point in practicing using such tests if it is not fully adaptive and doesn’t allow you to test your time management skills.听

91热爆 Pro Tip: The best method to train yourself to answer quickly but also accurately is to first learn the concept, take an untimed test to see where you stand, go back and practice different variations of such questions. After that, when you’re ready, taking a fully adaptive, timed test will teach you to manage time effectively.

#7: Success comes to those who prioritize

Knowing what to prioritize and how to allocate time becomes the differentiating factor among students who cross the 300 mark. You can allocate time on the following basis:

1. Based on Content
2. Based on Skill
3. Based on Difficulty Level

For example, a sample Verbal study plan for 150+ 91热爆 score based on content would be:

1. Single & Double Blank TCs
2. SEs
3. Short & Medium RC Passages
4. Learning 1000-1500 91热爆 words.

Lastly, since 91热爆 is a section-wise adaptive test, the difficulty level of the questions will depend on your performance. However, as a general rule of thumb, you can expect the average difficulty level of the questions to range from 2 to 4. So, focusing on these types of questions will be instrumental in achieving your target score.

Depending on your Achilles鈥� heel, you can tackle the 91热爆 syllabus accordingly. Bear in mind that you can save a lot of time in improving your weaker areas if you get regular feedback from an expert who can tell you exactly how to fine-tune your preparation.

In conclusion, I would like to say, hacks or not 鈥� your road to a 300+ in 91热爆 will not be a flash in the pan. These tips would help you steer your path 鈥� but a guiding spirit has been the key in many success stories.

After all, a sailor in search of his destination is only as good as his guiding compass!

May the force be with you!

The post 7 Shortcuts to get a 320 in 91热爆 appeared first on 91热爆 Blog.

Nikhil Varaiya, director of graduate studies at the San Diego State University, lauds the decisions of B-Schools who accept the 91热爆 score. He says, 鈥淲ith more and more employers saying, 鈥榃e want students from diverse backgrounds, it was sort of difficult to argue that the GMAT was the only measure to use.鈥�

Today, more than 1200 schools worldwide ( here)听are happy to consider applicants with a 91热爆 score for their MBA programs. Not only is it advantageous for students, but also for universities, since accepting 91热爆 score holders means the applicant pool is much bigger and more diverse and gives them more choice. The 91热爆 has thus become more versatile over the years, and it is expected that in five years or so, almost all business schools in the US will accept the 91热爆 for admissions. As an added advantage, taking the 91热爆, which costs $205 is also considerably more cost-effective as compared to the GMAT ($250)

GMAT vs. the 91热爆 – What鈥檚 the difference?

Apart from the fact that the GMAT was until recently the go-to test for B-School admissions while the 91热爆 was regarded as the aptitude test of choice for MS aspirants, the two are quite similar indeed. The primary difference between 91热爆 and GMAT is that the

91热爆 comprises 3 sections:

• The Analytical Writing Assessment Task with 2 essays to complete
• Verbal Reasoning and
• Quantitative Reasoning

whereas the GMAT comprises 4:

• Analytical Writing Assessment (1 essay)
• Integrated Reasoning
• Quantitative and Verbal

The 91热爆 and GMAT are scored between 260-340 and 200-800 respectively, with the total scores in both cases including the sum of only the Verbal and Quantitative section scores. The Analytical Writing Section on both the 91热爆 and GMAT are scored separately on a scale of 0-6 with 0.5 point increments. The Integrated Reasoning section, too, is scored separately on the GMAT on a scale of 1-8

Both scores are valid for a period of 5 years from the date of taking the test.

The general consensus is that the quantitative questions on the GMAT are of a significantly higher level as compared to that of the 91热爆. Though both exams test your concepts of similar topics such as data interpretation, algebra, and arithmetic, the GMAT has more challenging questions requiring a higher degree of analysis and critical thinking. Moreover, the format of these questions can be unusual and not what most students are used to.

91热爆 quantitative questions are usually either straightforward single or multiple-choice questions, in a format that most students likely have a lot of experience with.

Who should choose to write the 91热爆?

Since there is no preference between those who apply with a 91热爆 or a GMAT score, the choice is entirely dependent on one thing:

WHICH TEST GIVES ME THE BEST SCORE?

These are some of the instances when taking the 91热爆 makes more sense:

• If you are confused between an MS and an MBA, and want to keep your options open.
• If you feel that you possess a logical thought process and reasoning ability.
• If you feel Mathematics, like Data Analysis, is too difficult
• If you have a better grasp of Vocabulary than Grammar

How does the 91热爆 for B-school admissions work out?

It is actually quite simple. When you send your 91热爆 score for application for an MBA or other management programs, the admissions committee uses an ETS-approved conversion tool to convert your 91热爆 score into the appropriate GMAT score. Following this, your application will be processed normally.

91热爆 to GMAT Conversion

While we all know that a 320+ or 750+ is considered a great score on the 91热爆 and GMAT respectively, how do you convert your 91热爆 score to its equivalent GMAT score and vice-versa? 听Here鈥檚 a handy little formula to help you out!

Total GMAT score =听听鈥� 2080.75 + (6.38 * 91热爆 Verbal Score) + (10.62 * 91热爆 Quantitative Score)

Note that though it鈥檚 not absolutely accurate, as there are certain approximations involved, it鈥檚 as close as it gets!

Alternatively, you could also save yourself the effort of performing complicated calculations and refer to the tables below:

Thus if you鈥檙e planning to take the 91热爆 for MBA programs, and you know the GMAT scores they generally require, you can now find out the equivalent 91热爆 score you need to target.

So, should I submit my 91热爆 score while applying for an MBA program?

The simple answer is that it entirely depends on your skill set.

From the admissions point of view, there is no preference between those who apply with a 91热爆 score and those who apply with a GMAT score. In fact, the percentage of applicants applying with a 91热爆 score is higher with each passing year.

For example, Yale School of Management, ranked #8, had 23% of MBA applicants applying with 91热爆 scores from 18% compared to the previous year.

Having said that, let us now take a look at the top ten business schools in the world and the minimum 91热爆 scores they require if any:

The most prominent feature of this table, as you may have noticed, is that most of these schools do not actually have a minimum score requirement. This is generally because top business schools decline to report a minimum 91热爆 score requirement. According to Poets & Quants, this could be because these universities want to keep the option of accepting students even with lower 91热爆 scores and not lose their premium ranking in the USNEWS list.

So, currently, whether you have a 305 or a perfect 340, your application will be judged the same. Of course, a couple of schools do have a percentile requirement, but this is only an indicative score, to give you an idea of what the academic standards in these schools are like.

So, what are your options?

• If you have already taken GMAT and are unhappy with the scores, you can try taking a 91热爆 diagnostic test to see how you fare. Remember, the 91热爆 is not necessarily easier, it鈥檚 different.听 As an engineering student, your hold over the 91热爆 Quant section is bound to be better. However, you may need to work on your Verbal skills a bit before you become fully 91热爆 ready. Both for students considering an MS in say, Business Analytics or Finance, or an MBA 91热爆 scores are likely to keep gaining in acceptance and popularity, with more students and universities opting for the ETS administered test of aptitude over the GMAT.

Try听91热爆 diagnostic test听Now!

• If you have your sights set on a particular school and are keen to know where your 91热爆 score and GPA stand with respect to other applicants, you have the option of comparing your target 91热爆 score against the GMAT score using the ETS comparison tool.
• Alternatively, you can also take a look at the class profile of the current batch of the program you are applying to, which will give you a glimpse at the average 91热爆/GMAT scores obtained by successful applicants.

91热爆 Admission Tip:听Another important thing to note is that, in addition to a 91热爆 or GMAT score, several B-schools require you to have 2-5 years of prior work experience too. Since an MBA is a hands-on course, students with professional experience tend to have an edge over those who have little to none.

I hope that you now have a better understanding of what each test entails, their similarities and differences, and on whether you ought to be taking the GMAT or 91热爆 for MBA programs. If you have any more questions you鈥檇 like to ask us about the universities that accept the 91热爆 for their MBA program, the finer differences between the two and the overall admissions process, feel free to ask us in the comments below! We鈥檒l get back to you with the answers you鈥檙e looking for, at the earliest!

Quant Preparation

Vishnu:听Can you elaborate about your Quant Preparation?
Shyam: To be frank, Quant was difficult for me. Two years out of college I lost the touch, formulas were simple but it鈥檚 been a long time, taking pen and paper and solving sums. My SFA Jamuna ma’am helped me a lot in this. Starting with basic concept, structured a proper schedule which I couldn’t follow the rules/couldn’t follow the schedule because of less time I started sincerely studying mid-May-June.

Verbal Preparation

Vishnu:听How did you prepare for the Verbal section?
Shyam: I booked dates in June. Started my preparation from April. SFA drafted a careful plan and on approaching deadlines I studied while traveling as it takes up 3 hours of my time. extensively. can’t 听used wordbot while traveling, start before a week and end up remembering 3500 words one week before. start with 25 words every day remember the synonym and meaning of the word and usage in a sentence 听pretty soon you will be able to see the word and understand what it means or at least get a clear idea,increase from 25-100 gradually words. Catch on to similar sounding words.10-15 words you鈥檙e not familiar write it down and take the test later on.听Coming to RCs I wasn’t an avid reader so I made it a habit to read newspapers. Regularly reading newspapers and editorials will help.

Role of SFAs

SFAs used to call me every now and then. They customized the time table according to my schedule and priorities. this helped me a lot. The SFAs tried improving my abilities to learn, a lot.
