...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...

...extrapolations, based on my personal experience as an admissions committee member at Stanford. All views expressed here are solely mine and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of Stanford University. 1. Introduction In this paper, I outline the various parameters involved in the complex decision making process of a Masters admissions committee in a top graduate school in the US. To clarify this further, (i) This report is mainly targeted at MS applicants, but a lot of it can be extended to PhD applications as well. In most cases, the requirements for a PhD admit will just be a stricter version of those mentioned here. (ii) I do not have a specific list of universities in mind when I say "a top graduate school". Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley and CMU are certainly up there, but I am not particularly referring to any specific list of graduate school rankings. In a more general sense, I am talking about schools where the default attitude of the admissions committee is "rejected, unless strongly proved otherwise" rather than "let's give him/her the benefit of the doubt". These schools tend to follow a risk minimization policy, and if in doubt, they would reject the candidate rather than risk diluting the quality of the incoming batch. (iii) The content here is targeted only at the applicants to US universities. Though some of it might be the same, I have no personal experience regarding the admission...

...able to write a recommendation that will help you. You might add, "If you cannot write a strong recommendation, I will understand and appreciate your telling me." After all, a faculty member may not know you well enough or may be unsure if you should undertake graduate work right now. It is much better to learn that firsthand (even if it is unpleasant news) than to get a lukewarm recommendation from that person. Also, if you worked closely with a teaching assistant, please let the faculty member know which one to contact. That could also help your recommendation. Checklist of key items to include in a packet for the professor: Put everything in the packet. Please put your name, email, and purpose of the recommendation on the outside. • Packet with your name, email address, and purpose of the recommendation, such as law school, an MA program, or a particular type of job • Cover Sheet with your name, address, phone, e-mail, picture, and purpose of the recommendation Recommendations requested from Prof. Lipson must include his special cover sheet: + Current undergraduates can download it here (as Word document) or here (as PDF) +...

...private network over a public network, such as the Internet, using encryption to keep the data confidential. In other words, a VPN is an encrypted connection between private networks over a public network, most often the Internet. VPNs provide the following services: Confidentiality: VPNs prevent anyone in the middle of the Internet from being able to read the data. The Internet is inherently insecure as data typically crosses networks and devices under different administrative controls. Even if someone is able to intercept data at some point in the network they won’t be able to interpret it due to encryption. Integrity: VPNs ensure that data was not modified in any way as it traversed the re Internet. Authentication: VPNs use authentication to verify that the device at the other end of VPN is a legitimate device and not an attacker impersonating a legitimate device. Cost savings - VPNs enable organizations to use the global Internet to connect remote offices and remote users to the main corporate site, thus eliminating expensive, dedicated WAN links and modem banks. Security - VPNs provide the highest level of security by using advanced encryption and advanced authentication protocols that protect data from unauthorized access. Scalability - Because VPNs use the Internet infrastructure within ISPs and devices, it is easy to add new users. Corporations are able to add large amounts of capacit without capacity adding significant infrastructure. ...

...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...

...Cisco Network Solutions for the Telco DCN: SONET/SDH OSI Environments This document is directed to competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs), and Post, Telephone and Telegraphs (PTTs), collectively referred to as telcos (short for telephone companies). This document describes Cisco network solutions for transporting data between Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) and the Operations Support System (OSS) in a telco data communications network (DCN). The DCN transports network management traffic between network elements and their respective OSS, making them a vital link between the service network and the network operations center (NOC). The solutions presented in this document will help telcos connect their SONET/SDH network elements to a router-based network using the Open System Interconnection (OSI) protocol, which simplifies the DCN and reduces equipment costs.

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. Note: No test should be conducted without FIRST doing exploratory data analysis and confirming that the statistical analysis would yield valid results.
