...to Earn a High GRE Score The following is a guide to scoring high on the GRE test. If you follow these steps, your GRE score will improve. 1. Relax: Preparing for the GRE can be stressful. Try to focus on the task at hand and not so much on everything else you have to do. If you take GRE test prep step-by-step, day-by-day, and give yourself breaks when your body needs them, you'll be able to concentrate on GRE studies a lot better. 2. GRE Diagnostic Test: Begin GRE test prep with a GRE practice test to find out what you're good at, and more importantly, what you're not good at. Correct your completed practice test and evaluate the questions you missed. What kind of questions did you miss? Are they mostly Quantitative or mostly Verbal? What score would you give yourself on Analytical Writing? Did you miss a lot of analogies but do well on reading comprehension? With this information you'll be able to focus your GRE test prep studies on your weaknesses. 3. GRE Study Plan: With your GRE weaknesses in mind, make a very specific study plan for yourself. You should know what, how, and when you are going to study for the GRE test. Put your study plan somewhere in plain view, and make sure you stick to your plan. Try to keep GRE test prep interesting by planning to study different things in different ways. For example, study GRE vocabulary from flash cards one day, from a list the second day, and by reading and learning words in context the third day. 4. GRE Vocabulary: The...

...GRE Analytical Writing ISSUE Essay Topic - 1 "Important truths begin as outrageous, or at least uncomfortable, attacks upon the accepted wisdom of the time." GRE AWA Analytical Writing ISSUE Essay Sample Solution – 1 “The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.” ― Niels Bohr[->0] This is a proven fact that truth is the initial stage of progress. However, it is also believed that truth always starts away from the traditions and conventions. Therefore, people consider truths as attacks upon their beliefs, which people are following from ages. Truth also means some new facts that are unknown to us. People do not want to deviate from the facts, which they have learnt from their ancestors, and it is true to say that shedding ones dogmas is often difficult. They feel that it is an attack on their wisdom. If we look at the history of the world, we will find many examples where truth has generated commotions in the society. Different people have different views about the existence of God, life after death and origin of earth etc. For example, people took a long time to accept that the earth is round. Religious leaders and clergymen opposed this idea as it was against what they were teaching. Similarly, when Polish astronomer, Copernicus discovered that the earth goes round the sun and not vice versa, he was opposed by churches for many years. In fact he and his supporters were...

...common measures of center: Mean The mean is the best-known and most widely used measure of central tendency. It is what most people call the "average." The mean is calculated by adding up all the scores and dividing the result by the number of scores in the distribution. Median The median represents the exact middle of a distribution so that half of the cases are above it and half are below it. It is the middle case in a distribution when the scores are arranged in order from lowest to highest. Mode The mode is the category or score with the highest frequency in the distribution. In other words, it is the most common score, or the score that appears the highest number of times in a distribution. * Skewness A distribution is said to be skewed when the data points cluster toward one side of the scale than the other, creating a curve that is not symmetrical. In other words, the right and the left side of the distribution are shaped differently from each other. There are two types of skewed distributions. A distribution is positively skewed if the scores fall toward the lower side of the scale and there are very few higher scores. Positively skewed data is also referred to as 'skewed to the right' because that is the direction of the 'long tail end' of the chart. A distribution is negatively skewed if the scores fall toward the higher side of the scale and there are very few low scores. * Mean, median and mode of a frequency distribution: http://www.youtube...

...Phu Nguyen Ms. Leang English 1, Period 5 19 March 2015 Teen Behaviors in Romeo and Juliet Many teenagers make bad decisions, and act in a way most adult would say is unintelligent. Romeo and Juliet was a story about two feuding families with the same wealth living in Verona. After a big fight Prince Escalus tells them that if there is another fight they will be killed. Later that night Romeo meets Juliet at her father’s party and they both fall in love, after the party Romeo talks with Juliet about getting married and she agrees to have the wedding the very next day. After the wedding the two families get into another fight. Due to the fight Mercutio and Tybalt gets killed. Romeo who was also fighting was sentenced to banishment even though the Prince had said that if there was fighting there will be death. Juliet who was heartbroken drank a potion that makes her seem dead for nearly two days until the Friar could mend Romeo’s problem, but Romeo not knowing the plan thought that Juliet has really died so he kills himself. After Juliet wakes and sees Romeo dead she then kills herself too, as a result the two families end their feud because both blood lines have ended. In this play most of the teens made bad decisions.

Paired Samples t-test 4. Independent Samples t-test 5. ANOVA 6. Chi Square Note that the version of SPSS used for this handout was 13.0 (Basic). Therefore, if you have advanced add-ons, or a more recent version there may be some slight differences, but the bulk should be the same. One possible difference would be for later versions or advanced packages to give the option of things like effect size, etc. In addition, the data used for these printouts were based on data available in the text: Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences, 4th Edition (Jaccard & Becker, 2002). If you have trouble with data entry, or other items not addressed in this guide, please try using the SPSS help that comes with the program (when in SPSS, go under the “help” tab and click on “topics”; you may be surprised at how “user friendly” SPSS help really is). At the end of this document is a guide to assist you in picking the most appropriate statistical test for your data.
