What is a Good GRE Score to Aim For

If you’re preparing for the GRE, you probably already know the minimum score you need to get—most university admission offices set minimums very clearly. You probably also know you shouldn’t simply aim for the minimum score. To make sure you get at least the minimum, you’ll want to aim higher. To keep yourself competitive, you should aim for a score that’s not just minimally acceptable, but is actually good. A perfect score is a good score, but†¦ The most obvious way to aim for a good GRE score is to try to get the full 170 possible points in both the Verbal and Quantitative sections of the GRE. If you are considering a perfect score as a goal, your ambition is admirable. But be careful. When you aim for a 170 in both sections of the GRE, there’s a danger of overextending yourself. You could actually do worse on the test than you would have if you’d aimed a little lower. Aiming for a perfect score is especially risky for students who are significantly better at one section of the GRE or the other. Suppose—for example—that a student is strong in math but weak in Verbal. This student might feel tempted to focus almost all of their studies on GRE Verbal practice, without doing much to increase their math skills. This approach will not necessarily guarantee a perfect score in Verbal. And with less focus on building up math skills, aiming for two perfect 170s can actually decrease a student’s chances of getting the full 170 in Quants, even if they’re good at math. The same goes for a student who’s strong in verbal but not-so-comfortable with math; focus too much on your weaker subject, and you can lose ground in the areas where you’re stronger. An above-average score is also a good score If you are very strong and confident in both GRE Verbal and Quantitative, I recommend aiming for a truly perfect GRE score. But this is rare—realistically, most students are something short of perfect in GRE skills. And that’s OK! If you are like most students, you’ll probably want to aim for a score that’s above average, rather than a score that’s perfect. So how do you know if a GRE score is above average? Well, the first thing you need to understand is that the â€Å"average† that matters is the average score for students in your field of study. There is plenty of data available for average GRE performance by major. This article on average GRE scores in the most popular fields of graduate study is a good place to start. And if you don’t see your chosen field of study in that chart, ETS offers a more detailed breakdown of average GRE scores in all majors. And the available info on average GRE scores gets even more detailed than that. It’s possible to check average GRE scores for top universities as well. Like the other figures linked above, the numbers for top school averages broken down my different fields of study. The takeaway As you aim for the best possible score, remember that a good GRE score doesn’t tell the whole story. Even if you’re just over the minimum required GRE score, graduate programs will also look at other aspects of your application such as work experience, academic records, and so on. So aim for the best score you can get, but don’t lose hope if you fall a little short. ; David is a test prep expert at Magoosh.

Essay on Book Report on George Orwells Burmese Days

Book Report on George Orwells Burmese Days The book â€Å"Burmese Days† was written by George Orwell and published first in 1934. Orwell took the inspiration for this first novel of his from the experiences he gained during his service as an imperial police officer in Burma in the late 1920s. There he was confronted with extreme forms of imperialism, causing racism and also chauvinism. These are also the main topics of the novel and although they are wrapped up in the story of a single man’s fate, John Flory’s, these topics caused some problems with the publishing of the book. For that reason the book was first published in America, the English version wasn’t published until some changes – mainly name changes – were made which was nearly a†¦show more content†¦Prestige is all for them and they would do everything to get it. Maybe Orwell’s real impression of the Burmese wasn’t as positive as one could think while reading the passages about the behaviour of the En glish, sometimes he even seems to loathe the Burmese, but then again his Marxist ideas force him to write in favour of the socially disgraced. Orwell points out this conflict very consciously, as his own comment on his service in Burma proofs: â€Å"I was in the Indian Police for five years, and by the end of that time I hated the imperialism I was serving with a bitterness which I probably cannot make clear. [...] I had reduced everything to the simple theory that the oppressed are always right and the oppressors are always wrong: a mistaken theory, but the natural result of being one of the oppressors yourself. I felt I had got to escape not merely from imperialism but from every form of man’s dominion over man. (George Orwell) In the novel George Orwell also gives a very detailed description of the Burmese landscape and its flora. It is typical for the author to draw parallels between the mental state of the main characters and their environment and so he does in the book. He describes the exotic plant life in Burma clearly and links it up to John Flory’s feeling of being a stranger in a strange country. The changes of weather and vegetation during the seasons in Burma can be compared to the changes of Flory’s emotions.

The War Of The Great Depression - 1019 Words

WWI was a war that devastated millions. The causes of this war, and any war, are important to study because they greatly impact the future. Studying the war allows the future generations to learn from mistakes. The nations that fought in the war include: Russia, Great Britain, France, and Austria-Hungary. The nations were affected by the cost of war, and the deaths. WWI launched the great depression. WWI started in 1914 and ended in 1918. The effects of the war had a tremendous affect on the nations. The most significant causes of WWI were: Nationalism, Imperialism, and Militarism. Nationalism is, in the simplest of words, pride in your nation. Although, it goes deeper than simply being proud of who you are and where you are.†¦show more content†¦This brings to light that not only does nationalism have to do with the nation, but it also has to do with divine right. Divine right is the idea that God has chosen deliberately for someone or something to rule over everything. The idea of divine right provides a sense of legitimacy for whoever, or in this case whatever, claims it. Additionally, If the nationalist nation feels as if they are under the power of God, they will be much more obliged to attack whoever opposes them. Especially if they feel that you are offending their God. Pride in one’s nation along with divine right is a definite cause of war because it causes anger and frustration. Imperialism is the act of extending a country’s power and influence through diplomatic or military means. Imperialism is best explained as a virus in the human body. The virus being the imperialist nation, and the body’s immune system being the army of the homeland. The virus wants to invade the body successfully and in order to do that it has to attack the body. The Virus can either disguise itself and go in peacefully working out a way to stay, or it can attack the body directly and make you sick. Sickness, in this case, is success by the imperialist virus. Imperialism fueled World War I because it caused certain nations to crave more land. Imperialist nations are the cause of war because they

ABSTRACT Nowadays, conventional software development methods have gradually been replaced by agile software development methods. This phenomenon is mainly due to the conventional methods’ shortcomings, including a slow adaptation to rapidly changing requirements, and a tendency to be over budget and behind schedule. This paper analyzes objectives, strengths, and weaknesses of both conventional and agile methods. This paper also briefly explains the Unified Process, and the common elements of the Scrum process. Finally, this paper suggests a new Component Integrated software development process that combines the Rational Unified Process with the Scrum process to accommodate the strengths of both methods while suppressing their weaknesses.†¦show more content†¦One system development methodology is not necessarily suitable for use by all projects. Each of the available methodologies is best suited for specific kinds of projects, based on various technical, organizational, project and team considerations. Conventional heavyweight, document-driven software development methods can be characterized as extensive planning, codified process, reuse, heavy documentation and big design up front. These are some reason that conventional methods have been replaced by lightweight agile software development methods mostly in small-scale and relatively simple projects. This phenomenon is mainly due to the conventional methods’ shortcomings, including a slow adaptation to rapidly changing business requirements, and a tendency to be over budget and behind schedule The conventional methods also have not able to provide dramatic improvements in productivity, reliability, and simplicity. Despite the existing shortcomings, the conventional methods are still widely used in industry, particularly, for large-scale projects. Conventional methods come with their straightforward, methodical, and structured nature, as well as their capability to provide predictability, stability, and high assurance. Agil e software development methods focus on iterative and incremental development, customer collaboration, and frequent delivery through a light and fast development life cycle. There are many positive benefits of the agile approaches. Software Architecture And Methodology As A Tool For... ABSTRACT Nowadays, traditional software processes have slowly taken the place of agile software Processes. This is mostly because of traditional processes have limitations, which holds a slow modification to quickly changing requirements, and a proclivity to go over cost of project and get late back in schedule. This paper explains objectives, pros, and cons of agile and traditional processes. It is also briefly describing the Unified Process as well as common elements of the Scrum process model. Lastly, it is proposing a new Component Integrated process model which integrates the Scrum process from agile and Unified Process from convential process. This new CIM process model will adapt the pros of both processes at the same time it will†¦show more content†¦These are some reason that traditional processes replace agile processes mainly in small and simple projects. This is happening because of traditional methods’ limitations and deficiencies, which includes a slow adaptatio n to business requirements changes, and a tendency to go over budget and as well as behind schedule. The traditional methods also lack in providing improvements in simplicity, productivity and reliability phenomena’s. Despite of these limitations, traditional methods are widely used by many software developers in projects. Traditional methods are capable to provide high assurance, predictability, and stability and their nature is structural, straightforward, and methodological. Agile processes mainly focus on incremental as well as iterative development. Also, frequent deliveries after each sprints and customer collaboration are key element of Agile. Agile process has many advantage such as short lifecycle, low bug-rate, high customer satisfaction, and fast adaptation to changing requirements. Despite the fact that agile process has many advantages, Software Organizations still using traditional process and not jumping into agile.
