Considering the number of Indian students going abroad every year for education, the number of institutes have also mushroomed up. Some are genuinely in the business of making the careers of these students while some are just for exploiting the students for filling their own pockets.
FEW TIPS FOR PEOPLE GOING FOR USA STUDIES :
1. USA universities stress on research work and academic studies equally. That’s why students get scholarships while doing research work. Hence American education is considered best today with students from various countries studying there. In that also, the percentage of Indian students is far higher. This is coupled with the easy availability of loans from Indian banks thus enabling the middle class to dream of studying in USA.
2. When you approach any counselor who is into sending students abroad, be sure to ask the following things : Which field to study ? Which university to select ? How to raise funds, get scholarships and financial issues ? Guidance for VISA . Ensure that these things are properly addressed by the counselor.
3. If you don’t get proper guidance, then you can be playing with your career.Here, parents should be more cautious and alert. It is very important to understand that two types of counselors exist. First type are the one who act as commission agents for certain universities and send students to those universities only. Second type are the ones who donot act as commission agents and send students to universities solely on their merit. Since the First type counselors get commission from universities, they do not charge the students. But before approaching such counselors, parents and students must ensure whether the university and course offered fits his/her choice.
4. Foreign education builds students career but also involves investment from parents.So it was very necessary to get proper guidance. Think wisely before taking any decisions while choosing your counselor.
Consider the following factors for selection of your counselor :
- Experience of counselor in the field
- If the organization is certified or registered.

Preparing For GRE - An Approach
For tests like GRE it is absolutely important not to get nervous and feel uncomfortable at the test day. When you feel familiar to the atmosphere or if you think the gre test like a routine, you tend to perform better. It is a human tendency, when you do a thing again and again; you do it better than the first attempt. So why not prepare for the test day accordingly and do it from very start of your study for GRE.
Many students start preparing for Writing Section by writing essays on paper. If you are going to Type them in the actual test, why not actually start with typing them? Do it as you are asked to do in actual exam. Then you will get the idea about what is your typing speed, how you can manage, how much you can manage, etc. First time you may not finish your issue in 45 min.s but then you will understand it at the very start of the preparation not when your exam is a week away or so…
It is not always easy to prepare all on computers as we are, until now, have got used to paper based study; it’s ok, but remember you have to give test on computer.
Then the most important thing, The D-Day, the test day! As you must have known or you will get acquainted from others about the test center and the way in which test is carried out. You have to finish the test with only one break of 10 minutes and that too between writing section and Verbal-Quant section. So prepare accordingly. Make sure you practice enough Full-length tests. While doing them, do as if you are giving it on test center. Don’t allow yourself to get distracted by anything, don’t pause the test, don’t escape any section and complete the test in one go. That too if you can do in isolated room without facing anything but only the computer screen, it will work out better. This all allows you to feel accustomed to the test center environment. When you will sit in front of the screen on test day, you will not feel any different and any nervous, strange feelings will not get better of you.
Many times any examination doesn’t turn out the true reflection of talent of the person but it reflects to how much extent the person has performed to his strength at the given time and at the given situation. To perform to the highest limit of yourself, be yourself, be confident and to do just that you must defy every nerve that tries to overcome you. So try this approach of preparing for the test day, you will be able to go near your 100% at the day.
