General French Language

This intensive French language course is for absolute beginners (with no previous knowledge of

French). It aims to impart the basics of the French language in the four skills [listening, reading, speaking and  writing]  in  an  interactive  and communicative way, to  enable  students to  reach a level comparable  with  that of Elementary.  It is followed by FRENCH 102  Upper Elementary starting in the second trimester. It is not recommended that students who obtained a final result of less than 60% in FREN 101 enrol in FREN 102.  Teaching  is based  on  the  first  half [lessons 1­9]  of Panorama 1 (Jacky Girardet & Jean­Marie Cridlig, Paris: Clé International, 2004).  Other materials available at the Language Learning Centre (LLC, von Zedlitz Building, Level 0) are also  used  such  as videos,  CD­ROMs,  computer programmes, audiotapes and magazines.  Objectives are presented pp. 188­189 in the Panorama 1 Textbook and p.3 in the FREN 101 Course Booklet.



Are you interested in learning the beautiful French language? Maybe you already know some French and want to improve your skills. Or, maybe you’re hoping to travel to a French-speaking country one day.

Whether you want to learn French for personal or professional reasons, or even just for fun, there are many offerings out there that can help get you started on your French learning adventure. Some people who enjoy independent study opt to use a traditional language textbook for learning French, while others go for the more modern approach of using an app to learn the French language. Others prefer to use a French tutoring service. Another approach is to take lessons online.

Online classes can be live, one-on-one or group lessons, and they can also be self-paced sessions that you complete on your own. At BefAcademy, you’ll discover the best online and campus French classes.

As one of the oldest and most well-known language schools, BefAcademy is known for its immersive, communicative style, using and learning language in a natural way for communication.

BefAcademy has been hosting lessons at language centres for years, but now you can also take its classes online. The French classes are taught live by BefAcademy -certified instructors, and you can enroll in either private or group classes.

There’s also a program for online self-paced lessons, called BefAcademy Connect, that provides the materials and lessons to study on your own, but you can also schedule 30-minute practice sessions with instructors via video call.

It offers a 12-week online group class that meets twice a week for 90-minute lessons. The self-paced BefAcademy Connect program costs about $500 for six months with 10 speaking practice sessions, or around $800 for 12 months with 25 speaking practice sessions.

If you’re looking for formal lessons from a well-established language school, BefAcademy is a great option.

TOEFL

Many international students consider studying in a college or university within the United States. In order to be accepted as an international student, most colleges and universities may require them to take standardized tests. One such exam, the TOEFL, is used by universities to assess the level of English language proficiency. The TOEFL exam is necessary in academic setting to be sure students can get by in an English-speaking environment. So what is the TOEFL? Let us take a look.

Learn About the TOEFL

The TOEFL is an entrance exam used by several top schools to ascertain international students’ aptitude within the English language. The test is used to determine the language abilities of non-native English speaker by testing abilities in speaking, listening, reading and writing skills in English. The exam is administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), and is offered at several different locations around the country. The test was originally a paper-based exam, but was later changed into a computer initiated test. While paper-based tests are still available, the preferred method is computer-based. The test is four hours in length and can be taken a maximum of once a week. TOEFL scores stay valid for only two years. Since its inception in 1964, the TOELF test has been taken by over 20 million students.

Why Take the TOEFL

The TOEFL exam is required by almost every school for foreign students who want to study any subject in the US. While there are many requirements for international students to study in the US, the TOEFL is one of the most important. Schools look to the TOEFL as one of their earliest indicators to see if a foreign student is ready to study in the US. Students should put in plenty of preparation to ensure they get a top score.

Test Format

The main format for testing is the IBT or Internet-Based testing, which was introduced in 2005 to replace the CBT (Computer-Based testing). The CBT was officially retired in September of 2006 and so the main two formats that are now used are IBT and PBT (Paper-Based Testing). The PBT however is rarely used and the most common format is the IBT.

The IBT format has been rolled out over a series of phases, with the USA, Canada, France, Germany and Italy as the first to get the new format and then the rest of the world was moved over in 2006. Demand for the TOEFL IBT test is often very high and it is advisable to book a few months in advance to make sure you get the date you want.

The IBT consists of a 4 hour test in 4 sections which covers:

  1. Reading – students are given a reading passage and then posed questions about the content they have just read
  2. Listening – students are given a passage to listen only once and are asked questions about the conversation
  3. Speaking – students read passages and answer questions on a variety of subjects. These replies are digitally recorded and sent to exam judges to be tested.
  4. Writing – students are given a passage and then asked to write a passage in response to the text

The TOEFL can take up to 4 hours to complete, and students are given optional 10 minute breaks.

How to Prepare

Preparing for the TOEFL exam requires intensive studying. This studying should encompass all four of the main English criteria.

TOEFL Books

There are many TOEFL study books that teach students about the test and potential questions. These books provide an introduction to the exam, and go section by section to assist students in every facet of the exam. Because the exam is new to a lot of students, the books do a good job of giving potential test takers a solid look at what they can expect to see on test day.

TOEFL Courses

In addition to test books, there are many different courses available for students taking the test. These courses are taught by certified instructors who know exactly how to take the test, teach students extra tips, and are able to give personal time and acknowledgment.

Many of these TOEFL courses can be found at English language centers, and they are designed to prepare students for successfully taking the TOEFL exam. Programs typically vary in length although a typical TOEFL preparation course lasts 4-12 weeks. Many programs offer curriculums that simulate the TEOFL exam, provide in-classroom discussion, offer test taking skills, and more. Check out the following English language programs for more information:

ELS – leaders in teaching English and preparing students for the TOEFL, ELS offers a variety of programs ranging from 4-12 weeks long. These courses are designed to focus on key English language skills in addition to test taking strategies and tips. Depending on the program selected, students have the option to take the TOEFL test at the same ELS center – making students feel more comfortable in their test taking environment.

Practice Tests

Another great way for students to prepare for the TOEFL is by take a proctored practice test offered by some of the larger test centers. Many test prep centers offer free practice tests with results at colleges and universities around the world. In addition to real scores, a student has the opportunity to learn information about courses that the center may offer.

TOEFL Coaching

While the many practice materials are sufficient for some students, many others do best having received one-on-one coaching from a native English speaker. From a fluent coach a student can get personalized help, and focus on areas where they are struggling most. Many students attest that having a TOEFL coach who was fluent in the language helped their scores to drastically improve. These coaches give great advice, teach students excellent feedback, and help to make sure that they can grasp some of the more complex issues with the language. English speaking coaches are not terribly expensive and many people advertise as helpers. Coaches are a great asset to anyone needing serious help learning the language.

Taking the Test

If you would like information on taking the TOEFL, please visit the TOEFL website as the cost and type of test you need to take will vary depending on your country. You can also register online and book your test in via this website so please visit here for more information about that.

Night before the Exam

After the exam day itself, the most important time for a test-taker is the right before the exam. It may sound counterproductive, but the day before the test should not be used for studying or refreshing. Students should try not to think too much about the TOEFL. Relax and try to clear your mind instead. Students often stress themselves out unnecessarily right before an exam.

Make sure all of your testing materials are ready and you have your directions to the testing center and your testing registration printed out the night before. Make sure you get a good night’s sleep the night before, but try not to deviate from your daily routine too much.

Remember to eat a good meal before you head to the testing center. This will help you concentrate, reduce stress, and make sure your mind is clear and prepared during the exam. It is always a good idea to leave a little early to ensure that you make it to the testing center in plenty of time. Check the TOEFL restrictions and requirements to make certain you are not bringing any prohibited items and that you will have the right materials to gain access to the test.

 

Day before tip!: Relax, eat well, and rest the day before.

Preparing for Test Day

There are several materials that a student should bring with them to the testing site, including:

Government photo ID

All tests require students to bring a government photo ID that contains a valid signature. This ID can be a passport, a driver’s license, or any other government issued ID.

Test ticket

Students will need to have their testing ticket ready at the front door of the testing site and will usually have to sign in before they can be escorted to their testing room.

Bring pencils and a good eraser

Make sure to bring some pencils and an adequate eraser.

Bring a snack and drink

Some students may also want to bring a snack or drink to save for the break.

Know where you want your results sent

At the end of the exam, students will be allowed to choose schools to which they want the scores sent.

Caution: Be sure to read your test center’s information thoroughly. There are many prohibited items while in the testing room like electronic devices and digital watches.

Scoring

You should get your results about ten days after taking the exam. Test scores for the TOEFL may take a bit of time to get back, since many of the sections like speaking and writing are sent to special “raters” to be assessed. The test is scored from 0 to 120, with each of the four sections counted as 30 points apiece. Most universities will require students to have a standard minimum acceptable score is somewhere in the low 60s. Top universities may require a score of 100 to be found acceptable.

TOEFL Practice

Listening Comprehension

Directions:

In Part A, you will hear two people having short conversations. After each conversation, you will hear a question. The conversations and questions will not be repeated. After you hear a question, read the four possible answers and choose the best answer.

On the recording, you hear:
Woman:Will you be at the library tonight?
Man:No way! I’ve got tickets to the game.

Question:

What does the man say?

  1. that he will not go to the game
  2. that he doesn’t have a way to the game
  3. that he is going to a sporting event
  4. that he came to the library the previous night

Answer and Explanation:

In this question, answer choices (A) and (B) are both negative distractors. A student who is not paying careful attention might hear the negative in the man’s answer – “No way!” – and incorrectly choose an answer that also contains a negative. Answer (D) is a homonym distractor that tries to make the unwary student confuse the words game and came. But in reality the man is not going to the library because he wants to attend a game of some kind. Therefore, (C) is the correct answer.

Structure and Written Expression

Directions:

The question below is an incomplete sentence. Beneath the sentence you will see four words or phrases, marked (A), (B), (C), and (D). Choose the one word or phrase that best completes the sentence.

Question:

We came here —– the beautiful beaches.

  1. for visit
  2. visiting
  3. to visit
  4. for visiting

Answer and Explanation:

The correct answer is (C), which completes the sentence with the meaning of “in order to visit.” Be careful not to fall for the distractors in (A) and (D). You can recognize an infinitive of purpose by placing in order in front of the word to. If the new sentence still “sounds good,” it is an infinitive of purpose.

TOEIC

The Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) is an international standardized test of English language proficiency for non-native speakers. It is intentionally designed to measure the everyday English skills of people working in an international environment.

There are different forms of the exam: The TOEIC Listening & Reading Test consists of two equally graded tests of comprehension assessment activities totaling a possible 990 score; There are also the TOEIC Speaking and Writing Tests. The TOEIC speaking test is composed of tasks that assess pronunciation, intonation and stress, vocabulary, grammar, cohesion, relevance of content and completeness of content. The TOEIC Writing test is composed of tasks that assess grammar, relevance of sentences to the pictures, quality and variety of sentences, vocabulary, organization, and whether the opinion is supported with reason and/or examples. Both assessments use a score scale of 0 – 200.

TOEIC Listening & Reading Test

The TOEIC Listening & Reading Test lasts two hours [45 minutes for Listening, and 75 minutes for Reading]. It consists of 200 multiple-choice items evenly divided between the listening and reading comprehension section. Each candidate receives independent scores for listening and reading comprehension on a scale from 5 to 495 points. The total score adds up to a scale from 10 to 990 points. The TOEIC certificate exists in five colors, corresponding to achieved results:

  • – orange (10–219)
  • – brown (220–469)
  • – green (470–729)
  • – blue (730–859)
  • – gold (860–990)

TOEIC test certificates are optional, unofficial documents that are meant for display only.

TOEIC Speaking & Writing Test

The TOEIC Speaking & Writing Tests were introduced in 2006. Test takers receive separate scores for each of the two tests, or they can take the Speaking test without taking the Writing test and vice versa. The Speaking test assesses pronunciation, intonation and stress, vocabulary, grammar, cohesion, relevance of content and completeness of content, while the Writing test assess grammar, relevance of sentences to the pictures, quality and variety of sentences, vocabulary, organization, and whether the opinion is supported with reason and/or examples. The tests are designed to reflect actual English usage in the workplace, though they do not require any knowledge of specialized business terms. The TOEIC Speaking Test takes approximately 20 minutes to complete; the TOEIC writing test lasts approximately 60 minutes. Each test has a score range between 0-200, with test takers grouped into eight proficiency levels for Speaking and nine proficiency levels for Writing. 

What is the DifferenceBetween the TOEIC Test and the TOEFL Test?

The TOEIC® tests measure proficiency in English relevant to the global workplace whereas the TOEFL® tests measure the academic communication skills in English. Both tests aim to measure the level of English proficiency for non-native English speakers.

IELTS

The IELTS test has two forms: the Academic test (or module) and the General Training test (or module). The module that you take depends on the reason that you are taking it for. Generally speaking, the Academic Module is for those people who are trying to gain entry onto undergraduate or postgraduate education courses or for professional reasons. The General Training Module is for those people who wish to join some kinds of vocational or training courses, secondary schools or for immigration purposes.

Both Academic and General Training modules try and reflect real life situations to test whether a candidate would survive in English speaking social and academic environments. For example, the Part 2 section of the speaking asks candidates to talk, after 1 minute’s preparation, for 1 to 2 minutes on a given general topic. This would test General Training candidates to see if they could give a “work related presentation” to fellow work colleagues and would test Academic candidates if they can give a “university style presentation” to fellow students. It tests whether candidates have the English language capability to perform these tasks under some kind of pressure.

The IELTS test (both Academic and General Training modules) is divided into four parts: reading, writing, listening and speaking. The listening and speaking tests are exactly the same for the Academic and General Training modules but the reading and writing tests are different. Thus the test appears like this (in the order that you will take the different parts):

SAT

The Scholastic Aptitude Test, also known as the SAT, is taken by high school juniors and seniors applying to colleges and universities. This exam can be taken internationally six times during the year. Find out when to take it, how to take it, and why as we discuss the SAT in more detail.

The Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT, is a global recognized test admitting students into colleges and universities all over the United States.

About the SAT

The SAT test is taken by high school students to demonstrate to colleges what the prospective student knows and how well they can apply their knowledge. There are three aspects of the test: reading, writing, and math. SAT scores are sent out to your desired colleges and universities as part of the admissions package.

Colleges and universities look at the combination of high school grades and SAT scores. This combination serves as a prediction of a student’s future academic success. A student’s scores on the reading, math, and writing sections will project the student’s ability to handle college courses in critical reading, mathematics, and writing. The content of these courses is more complex in college than it is in high school, but the skills and their practical application are the same.

The skills assessed on the SAT are skills that you have been learning since you started grade school. The skills that will be assessed are critical reading, grammar and usage, identifying errors in a written passage, arithmetic operations, algebra, geometry, statistics, and probability. You will show your knowledge of these skills through the process of answering multiple choice questions. There will also be a written essay portion of the exam. The SAT is meant to show your scholastic ability. Logic and abstract thinking are not tested during the taking of the SAT.

Format

The SAT is the more reliable and validated standardized test in the United States and around the world. The three sections are all assessed during the same day. The SAT is a timed test. The test, if a student uses all the time available to them, takes three hours and 45 minutes. Within these three skill sets—reading, mathematics, and writing—there are 10 separately timed sections. Three sections of the test focus on reading, three on mathematics, and three on writing.

The tenth section is a variable section that could be any one of the three subjects. This last section is not scored. Possible SAT questions are being tested on students every year. This final section is made up of questions that a board of educators has already approved for the SAT question bank, but need to be tested on current high school students. SAT questions are constantly being changed and updated. Questions are tested on current high school students to determine whether they are learning these topics in school or not. The SAT is a test that assesses the reading, writing, and mathematical skills that students have been taught from grades K-12 (with perhaps the exception of English if that is your second language).

How To Prepare

In order to prepare for the SAT, you must know what type of questions to study for. Questions on the SAT are multiple choice, student-produced responses (in the math section) and there is an essay format as well.

The critical reading section of the SAT includes reading passages and sentence completions. Passages are provided and students will be asked to answer questions about the passages. Students will also be given a sentence, and asked to choose the word that best completes the sentence. Students preparing for the SAT should prepare for these questions by studying common vocabulary words.

The multiple choice questions and student produced questions in the math sections are divided into three sections and focus on arithmetic operations, algebra, geometry, statistics, and probability. By the time this test is taken, junior or senior year in high school, a student should have taken courses covering all of these mathematical topics. A test taker is allowed to bring an approved calculator, and a reference sheet of conversions will be provided.

The writing section has multiple choice questions as well as a hand written essay portion. The multiple choice questions ask students to identify errors in sentences and passages and improve grammar and usage. The short essay is an opinion piece. A prompt is given to the test takers on the day of the test. After being given the prompt, the student has a set amount of time to write a complete short essay with a beginning, middle, and end.

 

Once you know the type of questions and format for each skill set assessed, you can then start to review the content. There is a SAT prep soft cover book that can be purchased at a nationally known bookstore or borrowed from your public library. This SAT prep book will give you sample tests with SAT questions used in the past. It is not the exact test that you will be taking, but a simulation of the number of questions and types of questions to expect, and will give you an accurate score of how well you did on the sample test.

SAT Registration

Registration for the SAT exam can be done online. The cost is typically $51 USD for the standard SAT exam and can be paid for at the time of registration. The SAT exam is offered seven times a year in the US and six times a year internationally. The months in which the test is offered are October, November, December, January, March (U.S.A only), May, and June. The registration deadline for the SAT exam is a month prior to the date in which you plan to take it. For most, the SAT exam needs to be taken two times. In order to figure out when you need to take the test, determine the application deadlines of all the schools to which you plan to apply.

Night Before the SAT

The night before the SAT exam is crucial for student’s success. It’s never a good idea to try to cram a last-minute study session the night before the exam. You need to make sure that you can get a good night’s sleep—at least eight hours.

Preparing for Test Day

On the day of your SAT exam, there are some things you will need and some things that should be left at home. First of all, you will need a form of identification and your SAT admission ticket that you received when you registered for the SAT exam. Remember to take water and a snack for break times. You will not be allowed to leave the room if you finish a section early. With this being said, bring a book to read. Keep an eye on the time so you know how much time you can spend on a particular section. Bring a couple (at least two) sharpened number 2 pencils with good erasers.

For the math section, you are allowed to bring a calculator. There are strict policies regarding calculators. You are allowed to bring a graphing calculator, scientific calculator, or a four-function calculator, although the last one is not recommended. You are not permitted to bring a laptop, iPad, cell phone calculator, calculator that is a TI-92 plus or Voyage 200, or calculators that use an electrical outlet or have a paper tape.

Bringing certain items into the exam room could result in you being kicked out of the exam. Leave cell phones at home or in your car. You are also going to want to leave any music device at home, such as MP3 players or iPods.

SAT Scoring

What is the SAT scoring system? Each of the three subjects tested on the SAT is scored separately, giving you three separate scores for the SAT exam. The scores are combined to form the overall SAT score. Colleges and universities look at each skill’s score separately as well as the overall SAT score.

The SAT exam gives the test taker points for getting the answer correct. One point is awarded for each question answered correctly. For wrong multiple choice answers, ¼ of a point is subtracted. For wrong student produced answers, zero points are given or subtracted. For omitted questions, a test taker does not get positive points or subtracted points, just zero points for each of the omitted questions. This being the case, students should not guess on the SAT, but rather skip questions they do not know how to answer.

Your raw score which could be between 20-80 points per each math and reading section is then converted to a scaled score (reported on a 200-800 scale) by a statistical process called equating. The writing essay portion is based on a 0-6 scale, 6 being the highest score. This score is equated to the 200-800 scale as well. Equating allows comparisons among test takers who take different editions of the test.

Why take the SAT exam

Although the SAT is the commonly used formative assessment and is accepted by virtually all colleges and universities in the United States and around the world, there are other reasons a student should take the SAT. The SAT shows how you apply the thinking, writing and study skills required for college course work, and provides an opportunity for scholarship money. Colleges and universities grant scholarships to high academic students coming into the freshman class. SAT scores play a role in who is awarded these scholarships.

When a colleges look at your admission’s package, they look at a wide range of areas to get to better know you. Colleges and universities look at extracurricular activities, personal recommendations, high school courses taken, high school grades as well as a formative assessment, like the SAT.

Duolingo English Test

The Duolingo English Test (DET) is a standardized test of the English language designed to be internet-based rather than paper-based. DET is an adaptive test that uses an algorithm to adapt the difficulty of the test to the test-taker. It was developed by Duolingo and grew in popularity and acceptance at universities during the COVID-19 pandemic. The test is used by over 5,000 university admissions offices, including Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and Yale. Ireland accepts the test as part of its student visa program. Universities in the United Kingdom, such as the London School of Economics, Imperial College London, Kingston University, the University of Southampton, and Middlesex University, also accept the Duolingo test.

GRE

What is the GRE?

The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) measures your ability to succeed at graduate-school level studies, exactly like the SAT and ACT measure your ability to succeed at undergraduate schooling. Your score on the GRE is one of the primary factors used by university admissions officers for determining whether or not to accept you into their programs. As such, it is important to prepare for the GRE and score as highly as you can.

GRE Format

Developed by Educational Testing Services (ETS), the GRE exam has many similarities to the SAT. Both are now computer adaptive tests (CAT); no need to bring a pencil, pen or paper to the test site. In a CAT, you answer one question at a time; your answer to each question determines the difficulty level of the next question. As you answer questions correctly, the computer program increases the difficulty of your questions; when you answer a question incorrectly, the computer program provides another of the same difficulty or a slightly reduced difficulty. Eventually, the computer program determines your score based on the correct level of your skill in that area.

The GRE exam measures three skill areas:

Analytical Writing     (2 tasks for a total of 60 minutes)

Verbal Reasoning   (2 sections for a total of 60 minutes)

Quantitative Analysis   (2 sections for a total of 70 minutes)

The analytical writing section uses a free-response (or essay) format to measure your ability to write complex thoughts in clear, precise English prose. The skills you need to demonstrate in this section include:

  • Evaluate claims and evidence
  • Develop a complex, coherent argument/discussion
  • Support ideas with reasons and example
  • Write using standard punctuation and grammar

For this section of the test, you will need to write an essay or argument for each of the two tasks. You should be able to type and use a basic word processing program (no, the word processor does not have grammar or spell check – you have to supply those skills on your own).

For most international students, this section is moderately difficulty. Although the GRE exam requires you to demonstrate a sophisticated command of written English, the free response format allows you to craft your answer in whatever ways highlight your strengths.

The verbal reasoning section uses a multiple choice format to measure your command of English vocabulary and reading comprehension. It is very similar to the SAT and ACT reading comprehension tests, although the questions are generally more evaluative and require a finer command of the subtleties of the English language.

The skills measured in the verbal reasoning sections of the GRE exam include:

  • Analyze multiple layers of meaning (both literal and figurative)
  • Distinguish between significant and irrelevant information
  • Identify and accommodate for authorial bias / perspective
  • Identify and analyze the structure of a text (chronological, spatial, process)
  • Understand the meanings of words and phrases

For most international students, the verbal reasoning section will be the most challenging, especially for those students for whom English is not their primary language. This section demands a very sophisticated level of English comprehension; however, don’t despair. As with any test, preparation is the key to success. If you have concerns about the GRE exam and your English, that just means you invest more time in preparing before you sit for the exam.

The quantitative reasoning sections also use a multiple choice format to measure your ability to perform basic and complex mathematical calculations. This section is the most similar to the SAT and ACT tests, in both style and question difficulty.

The skills measured in the quantitative reasoning sections of the GRE exam include:

  • Understanding quantitative data (both as tables and graphs
  • Analyzing data (statistics, probability)
  • Applying basic mathematical skills (arithmetic, algebra, geometry)

For most international students, the quantitative reasoning section will be the easiest to master and require the least preparation. However, that does not mean you should take it lightly. You should invest some time in reviewing basic mathematical formulas, with special emphasis on statistical and probability analysis.

What are the GRE Subject Tests?  

Along with the general revised Graduate Record Exam (GRE), there are subject-specific exams you can take. The GRE has specific tests on the following subject areas:

  • Biochemistry, cell and molecular biology
  • Biology
  • Chemistry
  • Literature in English
  • Mathematics
  • Physics
  • Psychology

These tests are optional. Please check with the university to which you are applying to determine if they want you to take a subject area test. But, even if your program does not require a subject-area GRE test, you might choose to take it and submit the scores – with the hope that your excellent score will help distinguish you from the other applicants.

GRE Registration

You can register to take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) in a variety of ways. The easiest method for most is to register on-line by creating a GRE account. However, you may also register for the GRE exam by mail or by phone.

The cost to take the general GRE is currently $185; each subject tests costs $150. There are also a variety of additional services (such as test preparation services) that are available to you for additional fees.

GRE Testing Around the World

You do not have to wait until you are in the USA to take the GRE exam. There are about 700 ETS-authorized testing centers in more than 160 countries. In most countries, you can take a computer-based GRE at any time throughout the year. And in those regions where computer access is more limited, you may still be able to take the GRE in a pencil-paper format. Regardless of location or format, your GRE exam scores will be transmitted to the universities you designate, so they may evaluate your scores with the rest of your application.

What about GRE Scoring?

Your performance on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) will earn a numeric evaluation for each of the three testing subsets:

Analytical Reasoning

0 – 6 in half point increments

Verbal Reasoning

130 – 170 in single point increments

Quantitative Reasoning

130 – 170 in single point increments

It is nearly impossible to advise you what score you should aim for (beyond stating “as high a score as you can”). Each university has its own expectations for GRE scores. The best way to set a GRE goal is to research the programs to which you are applying.

GRE exam scores are valid for five years after the test administration. Within that timeframe, you can request (for a fee) ETS to transmit your scores to any universities you’d like.

GRE Preparation

Preparation is the key to success in the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), as it is in nearly every area of life. There are a host of resources available for you to help improve your scores (arranged in ascending order of cost):

  • Free test questions on the internet (including ETS.org, the company that designed the GRE)
  • GRE exam preparation books
  • GRE exam preparation software
  • GRE exam preparation courses (often very expensive, but often these courses include a score improvement guarantee)

Before you invest in a course (or even a book), keep in mind that the first step to GRE success is self-awareness. You need to accurately judge your own academic and intellectual strengths and weaknesses, so you may make wise decisions about how to improve your GRE scores.

  14. Susan has never smoked in the cafeteria.
  15. Company regulations prohibit Susan from smoking in the cafeteria.
  16. Susan obeys her company’s regulations.
  17. Company employees usually do not do what they are prohibited from doing.
  18. Company employees have never been allowed to smoke in the cafeteria.

Answers and Explanations

  1. The correct answer is (A). Sentence completions are meant to test your intuitive grasp of the structure and logic of sentences. Keywords usually indicate either opposition or similarity. That is, the keyword will indicate that the missing word is either opposite or like another word in the sentence. In this example, the keyword unless indicates opposition: in this case, opposition to continuing in the race. The unless tells us that unless something good happens to her performance, she’ll go in the opposite direction. That is, she’ll withdraw from the race. Because we know her campaigners are devoted, we can imagine that they would feel consternation at her withdrawing. Therefore, the answer is (A). You might have been tempted by (B), but “abstain from” isn’t quite right, as it would indicate that she isn’t in the race already.
  2. The correct answer is (B). This is an example of a problem-solving question. For every 4 guppies there are 5 angelfish: it’s a ratio. Since there can’t be a fraction of a fish, the total number of angelfish and guppies must be an integer multiple of 9. For every 9 fish, there is 1 more guppies than angelfish. Since you are given that there are 20 more guppies than angelfish in the
  3. The correct answer is (C). This is an example of a logical reasoning question. Questions that ask you to find an unstated premise, or assumption, are testing your ability to fill in missing steps in an argument. If you get stuck on a question like this, use the denial test: Negate each answer choice as you read it. The correct answer, when it’s been negated, will turn the argument into gibberish. The negation of the correct answer must be inconsistent with the argument. Here, the answer is (C). Let’s try negating (C). Let’s pretend that Susan DOESN’T obey her company’s regulations. Then the company’s regulations would have no effect on her, and we’d have no reason to believe that she doesn’t smoke in the cafeteria. That is, the author’s evidence about the company’s regulations wouldn’t add up to the conclusion that “Susan does not smoke in the cafeteria.”

GRE Test Day

It is critical that you bring your registration information and photo identification with you on the day of your test administration. Because your GRE exam score can determine whether or not you get a Masters’ degree or PhD, test security is absolutely essential. For that reason, you may not bring your cellphone, PDA or any other electronic device into the testing center.What is the GRE?

The GMAT is a standardized test often used for business school admissions. Learn about the format, how scoring works, and how to prepare for the GMAT to decide if this exam is right for you.

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a standardized exam often used for admission to graduate business schools and Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs. The exam, administered by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), measures analytical and critical thinking skills that are commonly necessary for success in graduate business programs.

Admissions committees typically use these exam scores to gauge your preparedness for graduate-level coursework. Although it’s just one piece of the MBA admission process (and it’s not always required), with a good GMAT score, you may stand out academically and qualify for merit-based scholarships.

In this article, we’ll discuss what you can expect from the GMAT and offer some tips for preparing for this entrance exam.

GMAT sections

 

The GMAT is divided into four sections—analytical writing, integrated reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and verbal reasoning. The exam takes a total of three hours and seven minutes, with two optional eight-minute breaks.

Here’s a quick breakdown of each section:

GMAT sections

The GMAT is divided into four sections—analytical writing, integrated reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and verbal reasoning. The exam takes a total of three hours and seven minutes, with two optional eight-minute breaks.

Here’s a quick breakdown of each section:

Section, Number of questions, Total time and Score range

Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA), 1 question, 30 minutes, 0-6 points 

Integrated Reasoning, 12 questions 30 minutes, 1-8 points

Quantitative Reasoning, 31 questions, 62 minutes, 6-51 points

Verbal Reasoning, 36 questions, 65 minutes, 6-51 points

Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA)

In this section, you have 30 minutes to analyze an argument. You will be expected to write an analytical essay that involves reviewing and critiquing an argument’s reasoning. Arguments pertain to a variety of general interest topics, so you don’t have to be well-versed in any one topic. Instead, you will be scored on how well you evaluate the argument’s reason and evidence, support your own ideas, and organize your response. 

Integrated Reasoning

In this section, you have 30 minutes to complete 12 questions that measure your ability to use data for solving problems, though many of those main questions include additional questions. You can expect four main types of questions, including graphics interpretation, multi-source reasoning, two-part analysis, and table analysis questions. You are allowed to use a calculator. 


Graphics interpretation: Measures your ability to read and understand data presented on graphs, especially when it comes to making inferences from such data. 

Multi-source reasoning: Measures your ability to read multiple sources in order to spot discrepancies and determine conclusions based on the information provided. 


Two-part analysis: Measures your ability to solve complex verbal and quantitative problems.  

Table analysis: Measures your ability to read and analyze a table of data, like a spreadsheet.  

Quantitative Reasoning

In this section, you will have 62 minutes to complete 31 questions that measure your ability to reason mathematically, solve quantitative problems, and understand graphic data. You can expect to see a lot of multiple-choice questions aimed at testing your ability to solve problems and choose the best answer based on your reasoning. 

Verbal Reasoning

In this section, you will have 65 minutes to answer 36 questions that measure your understanding of the English language, analytical skills, and ability to read critically. You can expect three types of questions, including reading comprehension, critical reasoning, and sentence corrections. While these questions are multiple-choice, they will still draw on your ability to think critically, consider the evidence and draw conclusions. 


Reading comprehension: Measures your ability to read passages and make inferences based on information, context, and logical relationships.


Critical reasoning: Measures your ability to read short passages containing an argument and then evaluate the argument based on certain parameters.    


Sentence corrections: Measures your ability to identify correct grammatical usage in a sentence, as well as whether a sentence correctly expresses an idea.  

How GMAT scoring works

The GMAT is a computer-adaptative test, meaning the difficulty level of the questions adjusts to your performance as you answer each question. Correct answers will yield more difficult questions, while incorrect answers will generate easier questions. Ultimately, your score will reflect the difficultly level of your questions.


You will receive a score for each of the four GMAT sections you complete. You will also receive a Total GMAT Score, ranging between 200 and 800, that’s composed of your verbal and quantitative reasoning scores. Altogether, you will get five scores pertaining to your GMAT exam. 


Here’s how each section is scored: 

Analytical Writing Assessment: 0-6

Integrated Reasoning: 1-8

Verbal Reasoning: 6-51

Quantitative Reasoning: 6-51

Right after you complete the test, you’ll receive an unofficial score. Your official scores should be ready within 20 calendar days of the test date. GMAT scores are valid for five years and are available for reporting for up to 10 years.

What is a good GMAT score?

Upon receiving your unofficial test scores, you’ll have two minutes to accept or cancel these scores. If you fail to decide, your scores will automatically be canceled. It’s better to come prepared knowing which minimum score you’re willing to accept for yourself, or whether you’d prefer to wait and retake the exam another time.

This course is about strengthening the Networking concepts and fundamentals with assignments side by side with theory. Through this course you will be able to :

 

1. Understand the Functioning of TCP/IP Stack (OSI Model). Understand the function of each layer in TCP/IP stack in good detail.

 

2. Explain the L2 routing concepts – Mac Addresses and ARP

 

3. Explain the L3 routing concepts – IP Addresses and IP protocol

 

4. Understand the procedure of Dynamic construction of L3 Routing Table

 

5. Understand various ways to design a Linux TCP/UDP server program in C

 

6. Understand Socket programming in C 

 

7. Understand the Networking devices functioning – L2 switch and L3 router

 

8. Understand packet Journey through the layers of TCP/IP stack

14. Virtual LANs (VLANs) and Routing in VLANs

 

15. Broadcast Domain and Collision Domain

 

 

We Understand – Networking by its nature is inclined towards being a theoretical subject of study. To arouse the interest of the students ,we elaborate each and every topic of this course through an assignment or project.

 

This course is thorough. We explain the design, discuss the code flow and then guide the audience how to implement the particular concept design in detail in a step by step manner. All you need is a Linux OS running on your system to do this course.

 

Who should do this course ?

 

This course is meant for UG Computer science students, job seekers and professional developers. This is MUST do course for those who want to join MNCs as a developer. The topics covered in this course are of utmost importance from interviews aspects and students graduating in computer science and looking to seek an opportunity in MNCs as a developer should have Networking concepts at his/her finger tips. Better to have done Networking under graduate course, not mandatory. Job seekers trying for the position of Networking developers in product based MNCs System software development including Networking is an evergreen area. Internet will not going to be doomed ever.

 

 

Pre-requisite

 

There is no pre-requisite for this course, however, it shall be advantage if you know a little of C. We designed this course assuming student is a complete beginner in Networking and we raise the level of course gradually as we move from Basic to advance Networking concepts. 

 

Also, Please just do not sit and watch my codes. Write your own codes, even if it is same as mine !

 

We have a strong reasons to choose C as a language for this course:

 

1. The entire core networking development work is being done in C in industry. So, this reason alone is good enough that you should learn network development in C if you are aiming to join industry as a network protocol developer. 

 

2. Network equipment need to interact with underlying hardware – the ASIC chips. What could be a better language other than C when it comes to interact and program the hardware.

 

3. C is middle level language – not as low as assembly, neither as high as Java/Python. In C, its the programmer’s responsibility to write every line of code to get the task done, unlike Java/Python which provides rich rest of libraries to do the most tasks for you. Using High Level Languages for learning network programming would obscure the low level details of networking – that is what is going behind the scenes. If you are are beginner in network programming, you must learn things from scratch and only C provides you the opportunity to do that. So, you must do all your assignments in C.

 

4. Networking is all about cooking up the packets and sending it out of wire. C will allow you to cook packets exactly the same way as you would like them to appear on wire. Lot of Bit level programming.  

 

5. If you are a beginner in Networking, pls refrain from learning network programming in High Level Languages such as Java Or Python. It is not job oriented thing to do in networking domain.

 

No Third Party libraries

 

Whatever logic you implement, you need to implement it from scratch. This course do not suggest taking help of any third party library to get the jobs done. Use of external libraries completely defeats the purpose of the course. However, it is recommended to use third party libraries for commonly used data structures such as linked lists/Trees/Queues etc which saves a lot of time implementing these data structures.

 

 

What else along with the course ?

 

If you are aiming to become a developer, then, besides strong in Data structure and Algorithms, you should have clarity of concepts related to other Linux utilities. Networking is all about system programming, and you would be interested in learning other linux concepts of prime importance such as Inter Process Communication, Remote Procedure Calls etc. Please take a look at my other courses in this regard. These courses will summed you up as a more competitive developer in Networking & System Programming domain.

***** What a Fantastic Course!!! I really appreciate the efforts Abhishek has put in this course. He has put his sweat and heart into it. The way he explains things keeps you hooked on to this course. He directly gets TO THE POINT without beating around the bush. No author of any networking book can explain things like Abhishek is doing. What Abhishek is doing is that he is explaining the Meat of the subject. One would have to read 10 books to understand this. or perhaps more. There was a hunch in my heart that dont know networking clearly. This course meets my expectations with respect to content, clarity and teaching style with proper presentations. This course improves your understanding and removes the fear of not knowing…not only that, it injects a good amount of confidence about your knowledge of Networking…Thanks for coming up with such a course. Thanks Again.

 

***** Come across right course at right time. This course seems cover all important areas of networking. Author explains the topics in good detail and with good pace. This course looks like designed to beat technical interviews.

 

***** Great Course, instructor is very thorough and provide quick guidance and clear any doubts promptly with high availability. I really enjoyed this course. Networking has been a tough subject for me to learn, but this course has made it quite easy. I now have my concepts thoroughly clear ! Thanks Abhishek, and Udemy.

 

***** I am working as Firmware/Embedded engineer, and the courses from this guys are goddamn blessing. In the real industry, as he mentioned earlier, all network programming or Linux system programming must be implemented with C cuz C is a perfect language for accessing memory spaces and customizing serial communication with other chips. In the real industrial fields, no one is gonna teach you. You are the only one who needs to figure it out by yourself cuz everyone wishes you not to excel in workplace. Only one person can be a manager or supervisor. Take this guy’s courses. Needless to say, quality guaranteed. If I could do hacking on this site, i am gonna crash his lectures. I do not want other people to get benefits from his lectures. It would be best if he makes a lecture for “making Operating System from scratch” :)
