SAT is used by college admissions boards in the U.S. to gauge your readiness for college. It tests you in three main areas, namely, Critical Reading, Writing, and Math. Unlike the math section of the test, there are no formulas for reading and writing sections. The only way to get ahead is to build up your vocabulary and critical reasoning skills.
ETS announced its GRE at-home service in the beginning of last year amidst the Covid breakout. At the time, students looking to apply to graduate school needed a quick alternative as test centers had been shut down. In only six weeks, the home version of the test was ready and available to students worldwide.
The at-home test is identical to the regular GRE in every aspect. The format, scoring, time duration, and difficulty are all the same across the two tests. The only difference is in the way they are delivered. The regular test is conducted at a test center as usual, whereas the at-home test is delivered via Proctor U.
Many graduate school aspirants are signing up for GRE at-home amidst the ongoing Covid outbreak. Early last year, ETS announced their home-based GRE test to combat the test center shut-down worldwide. The at-home GRE service has allowed millions of students worldwide to take the GRE in the safety of their homes. The response has been so positive that ETS has announced that the test’s home version is here to stay indefinitely.
The GRE at-home test is a convenient alternative to the regular test administered at test centers worldwide. As you may already know, the outbreak of Covid last year prompted all educational and testing institutions to cease operations. This was a necessary response at the time to contain the spread. However, aspiring graduate school students had to bear the brunt of this decision as they could no longer take the GRE.
How many times have you opened your wardrobe only to see clothes scattered at the bottom from slipping off the hangers? If you are anything like me, you probably like your closet well-organized. This is even more important when you are in college. The last thing you want is to reorganize your closet every morning before you head out.
ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting 7 million adults and 6 million children in the U.S. People diagnosed with ADHD tend to have a difficult time focusing on tasks and exhibit restless behavior. It is a severe illness, and people who live with it day-to-day are real heroes.
When you are out of your dorm, the last thing you need is your phone running out of charge. How annoying and troublesome is it when you have several classes to attend and take care of business, and then all of a sudden, you have a dead brick in your pocket. Whether we like it or not, our smartphones are an essential part of our day-to-day life. We use it to make calls, schedule appointments, book cabs, record lectures, and many other things.
It’s been a little over a year since ETS launched its GRE “at home” service for test-takers worldwide. The home-based test was born out of necessity early last year when the pandemic caused test-centers to shut down globally. As you can imagine, it wasn’t long before ETS found itself in rough waters due to reports of rampant cheating on the home-based version of the test.
One thing that you can be sure of in college is that you will be typing a lot. You will have assignments, essays, presentations, essays, and many other tasks that will require typing. I know most college students use their laptops for typing stuff up and never consider a dedicated keyboard, but the right keyboard can make those long typing sessions so much better.
College life is vastly different from what you are used to at home. You will likely share your dorm with another student, and unlike your home, your dorm room will not have fancy appliances. Everyone knows the important stuff they need at college, like stationery items and some cooking ware, but some other cheap accessories will make your life much more comfortable.
