Prepare For Abroad Entrance Exams – Study Abroad Planning

Living in India and planning to go abroad!! But you have no clue as to where to look out for the right sources. There may be lakhs of agents who promise an enriching future ahead and guarantee admission in reputed abroad universities. Should you trust them or not?

So in this post I would enrich you with top 4 sources that you must follow or at least know about it so that you can succeed in all your future endeavours. Here in this post I will discuss about top institutions, books that you must know about so as to compete in TOEFL, SAT, GRE examinations.

1. Barron’s Books
If you are your own master and do not need any personal or group tution, then you must buy Barron’s books. Although there are several different exams for abroad universities like SAT (undergraduate courses), GRE (postgraduate courses), TOEFL (for USA and UK universities). For these several exams there are various books by different publications but Barron’s books are the most reputed ones.
Barron’s books are published by New Age International (P) Limited Publishers which was formerly known as Wiley Eastern Ltd.

Barron’s Books are available for sale in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka only.

I am too preparing for GRE and these books are the most exhaustive and rich in content books. Previous year test papers and answers are too included in these books. I assure you referring these books will make your path to a higher test score smooth. For more information you can have a look at the publication house website – www.newagepublishers.com

2. Mnemonic Education
As you may be aware that in abroad universities entrance examinations whether they are GRE, SAT or TOEFL, English vocabulary should be highly refined. There is a list of 2500-3000 English words and one should know its synonyms if you need to crack these examinations with flying colors.

Here comes the role of Mnemonics which makes the use of visual pictures, videos so that you can memorize these words in a better manner.

For example – Aggrandize means a person who makes greater increase in power, wealth or honor. You can remember it’s meaning by visualizing an affiliate marketer or blogger who often goes on and showing off and aggrandizing himself.

Another example could be – Abut means border upon or adjoin. So you can remember its meaning by visualizing the picture of actors from 3 Idiots sitting on a chair resembling a butt and all three butts are close or adjoins themselves. (Laugh Out Loud)
It seems unrealistic but I am sure that you will never forget this. Therefore, I made you learn its meaning. :D

3. Career Launcher/TIME Institutes
Career Launcher or TIME are the reputed institutes which coach aspirants for MBA, GRE, SAT and other courses. Nowadays there are many branches in North Delhi but only few of them have well qualified teachers. So you should select the one which is best for you.

Moreover now a days these institutes have clubbed CAT and GRE coaching, so if you are not interested in the former then don’t study unnecessarily.

4. Education Consultancy and On-spot Admission Services
I am listing this as a last option because I have least faith in it. In this you can go for consultancy services where in you are guided by application processes, direct admissions and other things.

If you don’t have any option or due to any miscellaneous reasons you are not able to crack examinations, then only go for consultancy services. Care should be taken that you chose the best in your area and get a former feedback before using their services.
