lets do some vocab pracice... 2007-04-02 19:37:00 hey mate!vedic maths is good to learn and is really very useful in exams and we have to keep one thing is that after some practice we can solve almost all quesions regarding maths but what about vocab???in this case, there are only two posibilities....-either you know the answer-or you dont...and in reading comprehensions, the whole para could be clear in one reading or could demand many readings just if we dont have a good vocab.so now we will work give a littile try to our vocab as well.and unlike vedic maths it cant be tought coz there is no formula but yes we can give you a good base to start with.so here is a file which have some good words to test where you stand right now.A SMALL COLLECTION OF WORDSwe suggest you-not to loose hope if you think you are not good enough coz its just need some practice and everything will be fine sooner than you can think of.-reading news papers, magazines and novals are the best way to keep a good vocab.-keep the new words in mind and try to make s

VEDIC MATHS:- QUERY SOLVING 2007-03-24 13:51:00 hey friends..one of our regular readers asked us a question about some trick which can help in subtracting a number from the base number.we are sorry for the delay in solving that query but that happened coz i was busy in my exams.here is a trick which i think could be helpful...step 1:- take the number you need to subtract from base number(it will surely be near that number. i mean if you have 22 your base will be 100 or if its 760 then it might be 1000)step 2:- subtract the units digit from 10, and remaining digits from 9 of the number you need to subtract from the base.and thats it... :)isnt it really simplelets see it with an exampleyou want to subtract 638 from 1000 so what will you do....6---3---8 (subtract from)!----!----!9---9---10 ------------3---6---2 is the answer------------you can subtract any number from base number with this trickand one more thing friendswe will provide the link for OG-11 today with in 2 hoursthe file is in uploading processlet us now if Read more:VEDIC MATHS
Some neat vedic math tricks 2007-03-20 21:37:00 SQUARING OF NUMBERS NEAR THE BASE.Observe simple examples: 97 Squared = 97 - 3 / 3x3 = 94 / 09 96 Squared = 96 - 4 / 4x4 = 92 / 16. When the number being squared is above the base, of 100 here, we add the Excess and Square the Excess: 104 Squared = 104 + 4 / 4x4 = 108 / 16 = 10, 816 104 x 105 = 104 + 5 / 4x5 = 109 / 20 = 10, 920 What if we enlarged our numbers to 998 Squared? It is close to 1,000 so we say Base 1,000 and know to have 3 zero's on the right hand side of the ( / ). 998 Squared = 998 - 2 / 2x2 = 996 / _ _ 4 = 996 / 004. = 996,004 Understanding this, you can be calculating digits in the millions: 9998 Squared = 9998 - 2 / 2x2 = 9996 / _ _ _ 4 (Since we are in Base 10,000 the 4 zeros determine the need for 4 digits after the ( / ). = 9996 / 0004 = 99,960,004.THE SQUARING OF NUMBERS ENDING IN 5 If we wanted to square the number 25, ie 25 x 25, we would conventionally take 3 lines of working out.

VADIC MATHS - LESSON NUMBER TWO. 2007-03-16 13:57:00 after learning how to square a number ending with 5 now we will do something called comman base method.this method is a technique of multiplying number which comes under same base.this base could be anything like-10-100-1000 etc.to multiply two numbers we just need to make them subtracted or added to a comman base.lets do an example.MULTIPLY 99 X 92step 1:-MAKE COMMAN BASEhere the base is 100. (coz while setting the base we should keep in mind that the base should be closest to the numbers to make sure that the minimum calcultaions will be required.step 2:-SUBTRACT THE NUMBERS FROM THE BASE AND WRITE THEM IN THE ORDER.100- 99 = 01100- 92 = 08(we write the number we get after subtraction in as many digits as many zeros we have in the base, here we have 2 zeros in 100)AND YOU HAVE TO WRITE THESE IN THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE99 01X !92 08----------91 08 = 9108 is the answerthis 91 we get my subtracting (92-01) or (99-08) cross digitsand 08 we get by multipling the straight line of the digits
VADIC MATHS - FIRST LESSON 2007-03-12 14:37:00 after getting a good response about vadic maths here is the very first lesson about this. before starting let me tell you again that its not gona be a cup of tea but yes, we can do this all together.keeping in mind that "practice makes a man perfect and writting makes a man exact"we will start our very first lesson.ok the very first thing we will discuss is squaring a number ending with 5ok let begin with this (you must be knowing that 5 square is 25 ) ;) step one: take a number ending with 5.say, 45.step two: write the ten's and unit's number 25 without thinking much.so you have xxxxx25 (doesnt matter how many digits before 25)step three: take the remaining number before 5 from the original numberin this case its 4step four: add 1 to this number(step 3) and multiply the number with the number of step three.means (4+1) X 4 = 20 step 5 : simply put this number(step 4) in front of step 2's 25means 20 25and thats your answer 2025you dont even need a calculator.now we will
QUANT! ---- VADIC MATHS. 2007-03-09 12:19:00 hey pals!hope your prepration is going well....we will discuss something about quant now.after a detailed discussions with my professors and other lecturers of quant i got some good knowledge which i would like to share with you.first of all lets discuss why they actually want us to know quant?- actually quant is the section which is segmented to test the aplicant's mental abilities to deal with figures.you would be wondering like me about why they actually give so much importance to verbal calcultations (we have pcs, calculators and hell lot of equipments) but the answer is somewhat justified.they want us to show how fast we are in playing with figures. the professor i talked about all this told me that you have to have a compatibility with figures because while reading company reports (some times from xx to xxx pages) and full of ratios and data figures, calculators and pcs become obsolete and mental abilities makes all the difference. they told me that the thin line between a good

Quant. resources 2007-02-27 07:25:00 Hi friends.Going through this blog you must have noticed that very little or almost no notice have been taken of the quant section of the GMAT,which is as important as all the other sections.The reason behind this is that i truly believe that to gain excellence in this section you need to have and follow some basic stratergies.1. Hardwork - Practice Practice and more Practice. Thats all i have to say about this section in GMAT . The best, and I think the only way of going about this section is sitting down with a bunch of good quant questions and working upon them and applying your brains in the process.2. No shortcut or tips and tricks are their for this section .Its truly based on the amount of practice and hardwork you have putted into,the hours that you have spent over solving the questions, the time you have spent in learning all the formuales , the effort you have done to get the basics clear.I can help you in the quant sections by providing some useful material for you to study
Important books for GMAT 2007-02-26 16:36:00 Hi friends , how is it going .My preparation had been a little inconsistent in past 2 weeks as i was very busy attending Job related chores and stuff . My apologies for not posting in the last week .I hope your GMAT preparation is going smoothly .I fully agree with all those who think that preparing for exams like GMAT , GRE, CAT is much more better and economical online than joining a coaching institute.Those coaching institutes like IMS, Career launcher and allare just a big show off.The best place to study is the net . You can get all the resources ( I mean everything that you can ever want ) for free which the so called 'coaching institutes' will give you in return for a small fortune.oke i think all of you got the point that online preparation is all goody goody but you will need to have some good physical books also to help start and get along with your preparation.Online reading and understanding is one thing but nothing can beat the old fashioned way of sitting down with a g

Reading Comprehension 2007-02-08 14:37:00 hi friendstoday we will continue with our verbal portion practice.We will practice reading comprehension and look for the best methods to go about solving the reading comprehension , we will also be looking at some of the tips and tricks for solving the reading comprehension.What is a reading coprehension GMAT reading comprehension questions are meant to test your understanding of the implications, meanings, and structures presented in the passages. You can expect to see 2 to 4 passages of 200 to 400 words each, in the verbal section of the GMAT exam. Each passage will be followed by 4 questions. Because the GMAT is now a computer-adaptive test, you will only see 1 question at a time. The passage, however, will remain on your computer screen until you have answered all of the questions related to it.There is a certain patterm that has been seen since the reafing comprehensions started coming in the MAT exams.This pattern shows us that RC's can be classified into 3 broad groups.You wil Read more:Reading

Sentence correction 2007-02-05 17:12:00 GMAT sentence correction
questions are designed to test the ability to identify the understanding power of not just written English (that is grammatically-correct) but also so the situations that are ambiguous in any sort. Each question has sentences, parts of which have been underlined. You will then be presented with 5 different answer choices presenting alternative ways of stating the underlined portion of the text. One answer choice will repeat the text without any changes (meaning that the sentence is clear in meaning and grammatically correct as written). The other choices will re-write the text, sometimes in subtle ways.The correct answer will have all of the following 4 characteristics:No grammatical mistakesCorrect sentence structureNo diction errorsNo changes to the sentence's intended meaningNote: This is not stating that the correct answer is always the most concise one though often this is the case, but does not always hold true. You may find that you need to resist the t Read more:Sentence
Hi friends..
So now that all of you have read the... 2007-02-01 14:56:00 Hi friends..So now that all of you have read the tips on how to approach the reasoning questions let us try and do one simple example.This example is of medium level and in the final exam the level of questions will be higher so be prepared and do the critical reasoning part practice thouroughly and carefully as this part is the one in which students most often make elementary mistakes due to time constraints and other pressures.Example questionSome of our federal legislators are opposed to government endowments or other financial support for photography as an art form on the basis that much of modern photography portrays nudity and is thus obscene. These legislators are mistaken, however, since even they would agree that Michelangelo’s works of art, most of which depict nudity, are not obscene. Which of the following statements, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument above?The artistic level of the works of the vast majority of modern photographers does not approach that

CRITICAL REASONINGNUMBER OF QUESTIONS: 14-15TEST SECTION: In the 75-Minute Verbal Ability section, interspersed with Reading Comprehension and Sentence Correction questionsFORMAT: Multiple-choice (you select one of 5 choices by clicking on an oval)SKILLS TESTED: Your ability to understand, criticize, and draw reasonable conclusions from arguments.Before trying out some example questions and how to solve them read the tips on how to go about solving the critical reasoning part.Important tips on critical reasoning questionsalways read the question stem first (before reading the passage). It will contain useful clues about what to look for and think about as you read the passage.that ask you to identify an assumption and those that ask you to find the choice that most weakens the argument, your task is to determine what must be assumed in order for the argument's conclusion to be reasonably inferable. In the latter type of question, your second task is to find the statement among the
Tackling the verbal portion
The verbal portion ... 2007-01-31 06:41:00 Tackling the verbal portionThe verbal portion of the GMAT consists of three types of questions: Reading Comprehension, Arguments, and Sentence Correction. They are designed to test your ability to reason using the written word. There is roughly the same number of each type of question, for a total of 41 questions. 1. GMAT READING COMPREHENSION FORMAT:The GMAT reading comprehension section passages are about 200 to 400 words long. The subject matter of a passage can be almost anything, but the most common themes are politics, history, culture, science, and business. READING METHODS There are many methods explained in Gmat books to go about the reading of the comprehension passages. The most common ones are skimming or speed reading of the passage.According to me this is not a very good idea, the reason being in speed reading the reader is just skimming through the passage and collecting only the most important information from that passage and leaves the other information as it is witho Read more:Tackling

When I came to a crossroads in my career, I realized that my experience could only take me so far without further enhancing my education. Since my primary ambition was to go into an executive management position, I knew that an MBA was the right course.

I have created this blog to help other students as they begin this new career journeyLets start with our preperation with the basic contents of the Gmat exam :Analytical Writing section - designed to test your ability to discern data and information in the technical context of modern businessQuantitative section - designed to tests your ability to handle complex mathematical and analytical operations key to today’s fast-paced business environment.Verbal Section - that tests your general ability to process written information.1.Analytical writing sect

SENTENCE CORRECTION AND DATA SUFFICIENCY 2007-04-14 17:41:00 hey readers!hope your preprations are going well.some of our readers are a bit confused about how much time is sufficient to prepare for the test and being and online gmat prepration blog we are supposed to know the answer but to be very frank and honest - there is no time line that can be drawn as a endline for the prepration.and keep in mind that there is no starting line as well.i can place a number of example where people cracked the gmat easily just with a study of 10-15 weeks and opposite to the list of these examples their is a list of those who prepared for long 2-3 years to get the desired results.so we can not suggest any fixed time though we can tell you the average.as per a survey conducted in USA, the average study of 20-26 months was sufficient for average people. [average people is used for the people who are scoring average grades in their past educational background]SO I THINK YOU CAN NOW ESTIMATE TIME YOU WILL REQUIRE TO GET THE THINGS GOING IN DESIRED DIRECTION.well
