Great GRE

I gave my gre exam. The best part about the exam is that it tests you in vocabulary, maths, writing skills and reading comprehension.So a person's overall performance counts.
Barrons is THE guide for Gre. The maths and words given are pretty similar to what comes in the exam. If you are done with Barrons, Kaplan is a good book too.I loved preparing for the test. Did you know that there exists a word for the act of rubbing hands together to feel warm as "chafe"? Did you know that Jingoist means a militant patriot?
You can go through the links below in case you are bored with Barrons. I should thank my sister A Vandana and Ankur from IITM for these links ( Doesn't this sentence resemble the formal words we copy from some other journal while printing a project report , who would have copied from some other to thank mentors for their work ?:) ).

You will find millions of other sites if you Google :). The next part about the preparation for this exam is to stuff so many words in the compact space of brain.You may be able to give on the spot answers when you have done the word list fresh but later your feeling must be similar to " I have seen this word somewhere sometime long long time ago but I have no clue when or what i means! ." So Suchitra and me found out this easy way of learning stuff, mnemonics. Few are given below.
Peregrination - means journey.
You have a Periya grin on your face when you go on a journey (tour).
Deride - To ridicule.
When you are riding on a pony and you fall down ( which means you are getting a kela ), everyone ridicules.
Venal - capable of being bribed
Police kaaran vena vena nnu solli bribe vaanguvaan.
Diatribe: To scold harshly
What will happen if you enter a tribal area suddenly, they will beat you and scold you harshly.
Pinion - restrain
If you hammer your hand with a pin on the table, you cannot move it. Your hand is restrained.
Caucus - private meeting of members of a party to select officers.
Cau Cau nnu kaaka gal ellorum meeting pottanga.
Bellicose - warlike.
Eating Glucose you get energy and you will want to spend that energy fighting .
Asinine - stupid
Asin is stupid.
Assiduous- Diligent,done with hard work.
He worked very hard for doing a duo with Assin.

So if you find it really boring to remember the words as they are, you can play with them in a comfortable language. Then comes mathematics. You must work really hard not to get a 800 in Quants is the "talk" of the town. I must have worked really hard !. The questions are not tough but they are twisty. It was fun asking my dad to answer a question and find that he goes wrong in exactly the same way too! The writing section tests your writing ( Wow, I enlightened you now !).
The essay topics are mostly from a pool of some hundred standard topics.

Do not overeat the day before the exam and become sleepless due to indigestion with reading comprehension passage filling up your dream world.This world has better things of which one can dream. Take your passport, one guy was not allowed to write because he didn't get it. When the examiner tells you in a sweet way not to extend your legs so much that it will touch the power switch and switch off the comp, do not think " Engalukku teriyaada ( As If I Don't know)". It does happen!
I need to head to college to reunite with my friends and the lovely scrumptious meal served there.
