Fun Things You Can Do While Studying Abroad

April 2019

While the benefits of studying abroad are abundant and varied in nature, it can be very daunting settling into a new lifestyle. A degree overseas however, is a life-changing experience, one that is well worth the investment. You gain a unique set of life skills that sets you apart from the others, while witnessing a different side to the world. By familiarising yourself with the city's history and current events, you allow yourself to embrace these differences. Here are some ways on how you can make your semester abroad more enjoyable.

Step out of your comfort zone

The only sure way of making your study abroad experience memorable is by stepping out of your comfort zone. Do not stay locked up in your room the entire time, explore your new home and discover your surroundings. One of the best parts about studying abroad is the people you will get to meet. The friends you make during your time overseas will stay with you the rest of your life!

Explore your surroundings

Studying in a foreign country provides you with ample of opportunities to visit new and exciting places. Plan out where you want to go and the things you want to see. Explore the natural wonders, landmarks and monumental sites your host country has to offer. This is your chance to explore a new city and make memories along the way.

Try the local food

Instead of eating at popular food chains, try the local vendors. Cities are well known for their authentic and exotic cuisines, and there is no better way of getting a feel of the city than experimenting with the local street food.

Live like a local

If you are going to be living in a different country, the best way to experience what the country has to offer is by integrating yourself into the community and live like a local. Locally shopping for groceries is a great way of saving money and allows you to experience the culture first-hand.

Experience public transport

One of the most thrilling aspects to studying abroad is experiencing public transport. Take the bus to witness the scenic part of town or hop into a metro for a convenient and cost effective travel. Public transportation makes every inch of the city easily accessible and is a budget way to get from one place to another. You get a feel for the residents of a place when you witness how they go about their everyday lives. When faced with change, being able to adapt and gain control over the situation is an important life skill on its own.

Find a hobby

Taking up a new sport or a hobby can be a positive attribute. The willingness to try new activities is the key to thriving in a new country. You may end up finding a hobby you are actually passionate about and may even develop friendships in the process. Find a hobby that's not just relaxing, but one that will broaden your current horizons.

GRE GMAT SAT : A Brief Introduction

March 2019

Language testing plays an important role in the teaching-learning process. It helps language teachers to place students at their appropriate levels, to diagnose the students' strengths and weaknesses, and to evaluate their performance during and at the end of the course.

The purpose of a language test is to determine a person's knowledge and ability in the language and to discriminate that person's ability from that of others. Such ability may be of different kinds such as, achievement, proficiency and aptitude.

GRE :-

Analytical Writing - There are two tasks in this section: Analyse an Issue and an Argument. The issue task requires analysing and developing opinion around it. In the argument task, the candidates have to analyse and present their position regarding it. Learn to give reasons for the opinions. Practice using better vocabulary. Determine the direction of the argument i.e., for or against. Filter all the points for or against the issue based on a reason. Although spelling or grammatical error will not affect the score, severe and persistent errors will detract from the overall effectiveness of the writing and lower your score.

Verbal Reasoning - This section measures the ability to analyse, understand, plan, add value and draw conclusions to the data. To analyse and evaluate you must distinguish between concepts, words, the relationships between them and different parts of sentences. Vocabulary plays a vital role. Along with learning new words, learn and practice the usage of the words as well. Practice as many reading comprehensions as possible. Learn all the rules of grammar and tenses to understand the basic usages. Spelling and grammatical errors may prove to be fatal.

GMAT :-

Verbal - As this is an Integrated Reasoning Section, it is always advisable to determine what exactly is being asked before selecting the best choice, so it is important to use your time correctly. Do not spend too much time on one question if you are not sure of the answer, rather just eliminate the wrong choices and select best of the remaining choices. Do not skip any questions as they are based on the same prompt of the previous questions. Before you confirm your answer, re-check your answers as you may not navigate back to change your response. All questions are compulsory as there is a penalty for not completing the test. You may lose your score if you fail to follow these instructions.

Analytical Writing - The best approach to Analytical Writing is to read the instruction carefully. Always plan the answer before writing and take a moment, think and then attempt the question. Organise your thoughts and ideas and them develop them to respond the question, re-read your answer and if required improve it.

SAT :-

Reading - Read all the choices before you decide. Break down the unknown words into prefixes, suffixes, roots. Get acquainted with the introduction of the text. Try to predict the passage while you read the opening sentence. For the paired reading passage, read the passage one by one and then answer the following questions. For the graph analysis section, evaluate the graph and the axes and incorporate the data from the given passage.

Writing And Language - This is based on essay-editing skills and is generally easy to finish. Lookout for the common errors like verb, tense, punctuation, words etc. Every word is important so jumping into some conclusion without reading the text will not work. Determine the concept of the text, narrow down the issue by reviewing the answer choices.

Essay - Start the essay with a prominent thesis and organise it throughout. No personal opinion is required for your response to the analysis made. Use clear transitions, precise vocabulary and specific descriptions. Take time to read, plan and take notes of the given source. Watch out for the errors like spelling, sentence formations and grammar. Pace yourself so that you can make a strong conclusion to your response.

The course books provided by Edwise along with the one-on-one lectures helped me prepare for the exam in the best possible way by giving me an idea about how to tackle the exam.

A Brief on Higher Education : Post-Graduation

March 2019

A postgraduate degree is usually taken after completing a bachelor's degree. It is an advanced level of the undergraduate level of education. Any person holding an undergraduate qualification can pursue a post graduate program. A postgraduate degree is of one year and can go on for the period of two years if taken part time. Those studying a postgraduate program gain advanced, specialized and detailed knowledge in their chosen field of study.

The study at postgraduate level furbishes students to perform exceedingly well in the industry, making them ready to face all the industry challenges with the help of the knowledge imparted. Those holding a postgraduate degree/qualification always have an edge over those with only an undergraduate qualification looking for the same job roles and designation. 

The most common types of post graduate qualifications are:

- Postgraduate certificate/diploma courses: A certificate or diploma course will always be a step below any degree. A postgraduate certificate/diploma is vocational in nature and caters to only a specific field of profession. Their duration in comparison to a postgrad degree in always shorter.

- Master's Degree: Pursuing a master’s degree ensures a bright future. It provides in-depth and detailed knowledge about the field one chooses to major in. It is one of the highest qualifications anyone can pursue after a doctorate degree. A master’s degree is either research oriented, taught or a mixture of both. It is usually a 1-2 years degree program. The most common master’s degrees are Masters in Arts, Masters of Science, Masters of Business Administration, Masters of Engineering, etc.

- Doctorate Degree/PhD: This is a purely research based degree which is pursued after the completion of Masters or in some cases after the completion of bachelor’s.

A Brief on Higher Education – Under Graduation

March 2019

Under-graduate study is the next step after completing your high school. The Under Graduate level of study is usually a three or four year course. Studying an undergraduate program kick starts your professional career in the real sense. Students should preferably take up their under graduate studies at the age of 18. The first year of the UG program usually forms the foundation for the field you have chosen. The program advances as the years keep increasing.

Most common types of Undergraduate Degrees:

Bachelor's Degree:

A bachelor's degree also known as baccalaureate degree is an undergraduate degree which is awarded to the students by the colleges after the completion of the course which is usually of 3-4 years. Some of the most common forms of bachelor's degree are Bachelors of Science, Bachelors of Arts, Bachelors of Fine Arts, Bachelors of Engineering, Bachelors of Philosophy, etc.

Associate Degree:

Associate Degrees are shorter in duration than bachelor's degree. Those wanting to study after high school but for shorter duration must opt for an associate degree. It is also lower in cost as compared to a bachelor's degree. An associate degree prepares one to study an advanced program or secure moderate level of employment by providing basic technical and academic knowledge. The most common types of Associate degrees are Associate of Arts, Associate of Applied Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of Applied Science, etc. The main focus of an associate degree is to prepare students for a bachelor's study.

A Foundation Course is very similar to that of an Associate Program. While Associate Degrees are very well known in the USA, in UK they are referred to as Foundation Programs. The one thing unique about foundation courses are that they can be studied either full time or part time. Foundation courses are mainly designed for international students who need the pre-requisite knowledge to take up their major field of studies.

Diploma Course:

Diploma courses generally last for 1-2 years duration. They provide basic theoretical knowledge about the subject in focus. After studying diploma, a student can either choose to study a degree course or look for employment. By studying a diploma course, students also receive practical training making them industry ready. A degree however holds more importance and value compared to a diploma course.

Undergraduate courses differ from country to country in various different aspects:
