Things You Should Know Before Giving GMAT Exam

The GMAT is a standardized test for those who wish to pursue a graduate program in the field of management or business. One cannot fail on the GMAT, as every University has a different score requirement. Your GMAT scores depend on the type of school and program you will be applying to, so it is important that you plan your test date based on the your university deadlines.

Creating a study schedule, will help you prepare for the GMAT. You may find it difficult to manage your time between the GMAT and other school based activities, so ensure that you maintain a balance between the two. This will be helpful while preparing for the exam. Begin early and start preparing for the GMAT 6-7 months before the actual test date, this way you will have time to be familiar with your basic math concepts. Keep note of your weaker sections and focus on improving in them. Keep in mind that all sections of the GMAT do not have the same weightage.

The GMAT Prep software offers free verbal and Quant questions and provides explanations for the answers. There are a number of websites that offer free practice material online. This will help you familiarise yourself with the GMAT sections and also identify the sections that you find challenging. You need to have a strategic study approach to the GMAT rather than just answering questions. When you take the test, place yourself in similar test settings. Set aside 4 hours, take the assigned breaks, and keep your phone away and switched off. This will keep you from getting distracted while giving the test. Do not be disappointed if you've scored less in your practice tests, your scores will improve as you give more tests. Understand why you've answered the questions incorrectly, and concentrate on getting them right the next time.

The GMAT is question adaptive, the difficulty of each question is according to each person’s skill level. If a candidate answers a question correctly, the next question will likely be harder. Similarly, candidates will get an easier question if the previous question was answered incorrectly. The GMAT tests each question individually, so test takers cannot change their answers or return to previous questions.

The night before your exam, ensure that you know which identification proof you need to bring along, candidates have been turned away from testing centres if their identification did not match the name on the exam registration. Before giving the test, take some time to decide the schools you wish to apply to, this will save you time on the test day. Make sure that you know the location of your test centre, look up the directions the previous day, so you reach on time. Do not study anything new the night before, this has not proved to be helpful. Most importantly get a good night's sleep, you need to be fresh and well rested on the test day.

On the test day, it is important you carry the identification you registered under. All this needs to be done a day prior to your exam, do not wait until the last minute. At the exam centre you will be able to send your GMAT scores to five schools at no additional cost, however if you do not send them at the centre, there is a fee if you send them later on. If you happen to score less on the GMAT, you have the option of cancelling your test scores, however you will have to make this decision on the test day itself.

10 Things You Will Understand When You Start Living Alone

It's not as easy or fun as it seems...

It's hard to argue with the fact that there is no greater feeling than living on your own. The sense of freedom and independence that you get once you move out from a sheltered environment is exhilarating. The only person you are answerable to is you alone! So, if you have recently fled the nest and are living alone, here are certain things you will understand.

1. ANYTIME IS PARTY TIME!

You don't need your parents' permission to host your friends over. So whether it's a mid-week night cap or a crazy Saturday night party, you have the freedom to host an impromptu jig, anytime.

2. THAT ALSO MEANS ONLY YOU HAVE TO CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR PARTY

Since you won't be living with your folks, Mommy won't help clear the mess and neither will your younger siblings. Your friends would probably refuse to help too. So, it wouldbe just you and your handy broom that will have to tackle amessy room.

3. EAT WHAT YOU WANT

Eat anything your heart desires without worrying about what your parents will say. Every night can be pizza night and you can easily replace water with wine because -No.More.Nagging!

4. BUY GROCERIES AND COOK YOUR FOOD

This also means you will have to buy the groceries and instant noodles seem like a good idea but you can't eat them every day , right? The day you do decide to eat home cooked food, you will have to buy the groceries, wash them and probably cut them yourself too.

5. NO DISTURBANCE WHILE SLEEPING

Wake up and sleep when you want to, because there isno one noting everything that you are doing. You can also go for a sleep marathon.

6. RISK GETTING LATE TO WORK

Living on your own can also mean there would be no one to wake you up if you overslept. Because since `there is no one noting everything that you are doing', you will probably be late for work almost every single day.

7. HAVE YOUR OWN WAY WITH DECOR

You can decorate your house the way you want too. If you want to replace all bulbs with fairy lights, you can do it without any interference.

8. YOU WILL HAVE TO MULTI-TASK AS A PLUMBER, ELECTRICIAN AS WELL

You will have to worry about other little things, like theplumbing and electrical fittings of your house. From yourelectrical wires to taps and pipes, everything will be your responsibility now.It's safe to say that living alone is not an easy task. While on the surface of it, it may seem like all fun andgames but in reality, it's so much more than that. So, takethe first step in making the transaction towards living alone easier.

9. BUY THE STUFF YOURSELF

If you want your house to look like the way you want itto, it also means that you will have to buy everything youwant to decorate your house with.From utensils to lights, everything will have to be bought on your own!

10. YOU CAN DO THE HOUSEKEEPING AT YOUR PACE

You don't have to worry about the little things, like cleaning a cupboard. You can do it when and if you have some leisure time.

What Edwise Students say...

“Hi, I am Pooja Das going for my Masters in Fashion Retail Management at University of Arts London (LCF) this year. This is the biggest opportunity for me and would not have been possible without EDWISE. When they say “Edwise is one stop solution for all international study needs” they are 101% correct. I decided to go for my masters while I was working with an organisation. It was quite challenging for me to manage my MA applications and my official work. So I heard about EDWISE from one of my faculties from NIFT and went to their office for assistance. I was determined to apply for UAL, but the advisers guided me to choose other top universities as well . My counselor was from Delhi South Ex branch. She has been a great adviser and mentor to me; she helped me to apply for all the universities, informed me about the events related to my chosen universities, updated me with the interview dates and their results. She also helped me to apply for my visa and was always there to answer my queries very promptly. The counselors are very professional, friendly and helpful. The best part is that the relation with EDWISE doesn't end here; you are always welcome to seek advise even after you get selected at your desired university. My experience with EDWISE has been wonderful.”

“Edwise has been really helpful right from helping me selecting the college to getting through the university of my best interest and guiding me for my pre-departure preparations. I recommend it to all students planning to study abroad.”

Purpose of Giving English Proficiency Tests

English is the official language in many parts of the world. Many international students are required to take an English language exam in order to gain entrance into a College or University. A primary challenge for international applicants seeking to work or study overseas is the ability to speak English. Strong skills are needed in writing, speaking and understanding English in order to work or study abroad.

English language tests are required by universities, immigration departments, professional bodies and employers. The experience of studying abroad is academically satisfying. It is also an excellent way to experience other countries’ culture through education and immersion. By taking a focused academic English language exam, you will learn the right kind of skills to succeed in your studies.

Academic English language exams develop real-life English language communication skills, in addition to a range of practical academic skills. There are a number of reasons why taking an English language test is helpful; Educational institutions require certain English language requirements for admission into universities; immigrants need to show they can use the English language in communicating with others. While some take the test just to know their level of English.

More schools are developing English as a Second Language program to support the increasing numbers of international students. There are a number of English language tests that are accepted by schools and institutions across English speaking nations. The exam commonly used throughout the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand is the IELTS. This English language exam is jointly managed by the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations, the British Council and IDP Education Pty Limited: IELTS Australia. While the most commonly accepted test in Northern American Universities is the TOEFL, this exam tests one’s ability to understand North American English as it is spoken, written, and heard. The TOEFL exam is administered by the Educational Testing Service. The Pearson Test of English Academic is another English language test that is now widely accepted in a number of countries. It tests English language abilities in a three-hour exam, which involves a number of real-life settings. In this test, students will be listening to a range of accents and academic language which they are likely to encounter at English-speaking institutes.

Since there are a number of English tests available, it can be hard to decide on a particular one. While some are more widely accepted than others, ensuring that you choose the right test is just as important. Measure your English level before you choose a test, keeping in mind the test requirements of the University.

“The Edwise mock test for the PTE was amazing and really helped me understand the format of the test and the coaching helped me to thoroughly prepare for the test."
Saher - PTE Coaching

“I am writing this testimonial to Edwise International and especially to my tutor for PTE. I was tensed before giving my PTE exam because I got my passport late and I had to clear the exam in a single attempt. I explained the situation to her. She helped me a lot. Those two sessions were really very very crucial for me as I scored 77/90 in PTE with 90/90 in speaking. This score has also helped me in getting a part time job in Australia as well. My tutor was very calm, understanding, I am really thankful to Edwise and for the overall experience with a Coaching Dept.”
Siddhesh Lad - PTE Coaching

“I am very thankful to Edwise for helping me score an 8.0 band in my IELTS. I joined the IELTS classes with a lot of apprehensions. But from the first class itself I felt extremely comfortable. The faculty here has provided me with personal training and this has helped me clear my examination with flying colors. I would once again like to thank the entire staff of Edwise who helped my dream come true.”
Shruti Preman - IELTS Coaching

“My experience with Edwise was very good, my counselor was very helpful. I had given IELTS and had taken coaching from Edwise.”
Nazia Parekh - IELTS Coaching

“My experience with Edwise coaching was very good! I started coaching with 5 other students and with no appropriate knowledge or idea about IELTS, its procedures and protocols. My faculty was a boon to us by giving us not only the thorough insight of the IELTS, but made it a fun process for us. To me personally, I couldn't have expected a better teacher for it. The faculty at Edwise not just makes us feel involved, but gives us a good support especially in disciplines that we lack in. The teaching pedalogy at Edwise helps us find our strengths and weakness & ace the exams. The job and concern not just ends after IELTS, but also follows up with us on our exam and our results.”
Vizak Gagrat -IELTS Coaching

“After enrolling in Edwise I felt that I am at the right place to pursue further higher education, because the knowledge and the guidance given by the faculty here gave me a positive look towards my goal. The coaching was well planned and proper attention was given by the faculty guiding me. I have already suggested few of my friends to go forward with IELTS through Edwise coaching.”
