How are Things Gonna be Different?

Imagine a huge oil-producing country in the middle of Arabia deserts wishing to be a real 21st century country has a constitution, and every one in that country is under penalty of law. Whether a royal descendent or an African Arabian he or she was. Suppose that an army of known meticulous law and broad-minded religion scholars has written this constitution. How are things gonna be different?

My Magical Tips for the GRE (pre-Aug 2011)


Every GRE taker has his or her experience. There are a lot of preparation materials for GRE leaves one uncertain which one to choose, but many of those materials are equally sufficient to review. They give strategies, examples, samples of common tricks, and resources for reviewing math, suggested sophisticated English vocabulary, and writing skills. However, there is no such a thing that precisely tells you how to score a decent score on GRE if you do not have an innate sharp-witted mind. Average people need to be adept at math and widely knowledgeable in English language skills. That is not all. Speaking of the quantitative section of GRE, time management and quickly math discerning are two major factors. In my experience, I encountered a challenge that prevented me from scoring a good score in my first completely-a-bust GRE exam, which is trivial mistakes that happen due to unmindfulness and nervousness.

Trivial mistakes were a nightmare for me. Even though knowing enough math, I found that only silly mistakes madly ruin my answer sheet. That is for the questions that I knew how to solve, not the ones that I didn't. Thus I invented the magic solution. In other more realistic words, I develop a way that will help me overcome this challenge. While practicing math problems, I started listing the gaps that I usually fell in and make mistakes at and I wrote them to better bridge these gaps. They were the ones that I encountered and cared a lot to get a grip on. They are, again, not strategies but mind hints of lack-of-accuracy conditions that bog me down. I used them as marginal annotation kept them in mind, which amazingly helped me to get a decent score in GRE unlike previous trial.

Finally, here are the most important annotations I made. I hope they help test takers around world even though the GRE exam has seen some changes after August 2011.
