  1. Hi Shruti, FOr vocab I used Barrons and Norman lewis"word power made easy".and downloaded a few softwares from net for practicing. maths I mostly did from RS Aggrwal, ETS 9th edition and practices a lot from the GRE maths forum in TestMagic only. also took a lot of online tests whichever I found from google. for AWA did a little research in net on specific topics. u can get a no of useful sites for prep from various postings in respective section of this forum. I am staying in Illinois and looking for an admit in some university in illinois only. also got my first admit in Bradley university last week. still waiting for other responses.
  2. Hello Nidhi, Shruti and others on the H4 visa, I am on the same visa here and was really really frustrated in less than 1 month of coming here, after leaving my wonderful job in India. I am through with my GRE and applied for Fall. Normally u will not find any university having last dates later than 15th Jan for international students. U hav only option of applying for Spring session. the last dates for which are usually in sep end. The whole process will not take less than 1 yr before u could join the course. so dont get frustrated and make up yr mind for spring session. So study hard. u hav lots of time to research on universities of yr choice and prepare for the tests. All the best.
  3. Hello Kfree , congratulations on your score. I too logged in the forum after a long time. i join you and laura with almost the same score. Q-790, V-670, AWA-5.5. where all have you guys applied.
  4. yep sanjana, yr ans are correct. but I have one doubt in Q1. in the quest there is nowhere stated that "k" is an integer, so how do we assume that 1-k>0 means k is -ve. it can have a positive fraction value and still satisfy the condition. what do you say??
  5. Q1)given: -10 k^2 > 4 1 - k > 0 COLUMN A COLUMN B k 0 2) "In a sequence, the first three values are the first three prime integers in ascending order, and each of the succeeding values is the sum of all the preceding values, what is the ratio of the Thirtieth value to the Twenty-fifth value in the sequence?" 6/5 32 64 128 230
  6. 3 ) I got ans : p= q/5 or -3q, but none matching the given ans!!
  7. Hey Sambyr, thats an excellent essay. well structured with good flow. I dont seem to find any flaw in it:) what is yr field of study?? I bet its not engineering. you related to arts or literature?? I read one more essay which you posted few days back. you have great writing skills.
  8. hey Rumen, you have written down the factors of 30 instead of its multiples. i agree with you on that all the multiples of 30 are also multiples of 2, thfr, ratio should be 1:1, but its not in the ans choices:shy:
  9. hi Rumen, i dont know the actual answers, but I agree with yr 1st and 3rd ans. isnt there any formula to calculate the 2nd ans?? BTW how did you do the 1st one? by diffrentiating wrt to p and the equating to zero or there is any other method also?
  10. 1) 0 the greatest value of p(1-p) *********** 1/2 2) Sum of first n negative integer powers of 2; 2^-1 + 2^-2 + 2^-3......+2^-n ********** 1 3) xy +y^2=3 x **************** y
  11. Hey Laura, i am late in checking yr posting. Anyway, Congratulations!!!! thats an awesome score. Very well done. All the best. Enjoy yr weekend and Vacation.
  12. hello Zenith200, i could in no way figure out the 1st ans, however, for the 2nd ans I think the ans would be the one with min SD. low SD means that the values are more closely packed towards the mean value, rather than scattered away from the mean , in which case the SD would increase.
  13. yep, that was the trick I was looking for and could not figure out[bomb]
  14. this is a question from an old GRE paper: The odds that a certain event will occur is the ratio of the probability that the event will occur to the probability that the event will not occur. if the odds that Pat will win a prize are 4 to 3, what is the probability that Pat will not win the prize? Ans) 1/4, 1/3, 3/7, 4/7, 3/4 Again I am confused as to whether the ans is as simple as 3/4 or not??? please clarify.
