Make sure you join our GMAT Prep community. It’s go tons of lessons, tests, and a great Question bank that can help you prepare for the GMAT. You should book it the test whenever you feel comfortable- if you look at the material and think that you can take 2 months studying it all, then book the test for 2 months away. If you’ve done engineering the math section shouldn’t be a problem (data sufficiency can be confusing, but once you get how it’s done you should be fine). You might have to work more on English though.

To get into an MBA school, your academics sound good. You’ll need about 2 years work experience at the very least, plus you’re likely to need a TOEFL/IELTS score. You can find some great MBA schools using our schools directory. Good luck.

I actually like commercials. I hate when whoever has the remote changes the channel when commercials are on- it gives you time to take a break and relax your mind from an intense movie or show, so you can get up and go grab a snack or something. Plus commercials can be funny and catchy.

I’m not convinced this is a great debate for this SAT community though, it might fit better in the television community. But it can actually be a nice topic for an essay.

You can upload videos as whole lessons using the “new video” option which can be accessed from the “Lessons” tab in your Workplace. As far as I know the only other way to insert videos into lessons would be embedding them.

The current recession in the US is of concern to many people. The truth is, however, that the recession does not impact education. On the contrary, many people prefer to go back to school instead of finding a job in this economy. As a result, going to the US now to get an MS degree will not be much different than going at any other time, except for two major issues- finances and jobs. If your goal is to settle down and find a job after you graduate, the situation is a bit uncertain (although by the time you graduate the recession may end and turn into an economic boom, increasing the chances of employment, there’s simply no way of telling). If you plan on going back to your home country after graduation the recession in the US will have no effect. The pressing issue for most prospective students is securing the money to study in the US. Currently it is quite difficult in many cases to find loans and other financial aid resources in order to study at the US. The top schools have secured partnerships with companies to ensure that loans are still available, but in other cases it might not be easy to find the money you need.

I hope this will help shed some light on your concern. Best of luck with your decision.

It’s a bit late right now to be honest, especially if you don’t have an SAT score. I don’t think you’ll be able to find a good college to get into at this stage without a high SAT score. You can still try though.

Schools in Canada and the UK don’t require the SAT, so you stand a better chance of getting into them, even though the timeline may be a bit too late for applications to some schools. Have you taken the TOEFL/IELTS? You’ll definitely need one of those to study abroad.

I suggest you visit our directory and try out a school search. This will allow you to apply to some good schools right away, and they’ll get back to you with some next steps. Good luck.

There are lots of factors involved, including which country you’re in, where you got your degree from, what company you work for, how long you’ve been working, etc.

According to one website, the average salary for a mechanical engineer in the US with less than a year’s experience gets $54,000. Your salary after 5 years of experience will be on average $67,000 and after 20 years or more it’s at $85,000.

The IQ test is a very well-known test of intelligence which lots of people like to take just to find out how “smart” they are. It’s been widely debated as to what the IQ test actually measures. As far as I know though, it’s not used for admissions in any school, so if you’re aiming towards studying abroad the IQ test won’t be of a lot of help. It is fun to take and see where you stand though.

In math the sign ^ usually means “to the power of”, so for example 3 ^ 2 = = 9. It’s often used in cases where you can’t make the formula work like on computers.

I’m not sure I completely understand statement A (I think it says that the rain started at 6:30 and 3 hours later it was still pouring, it stopped at some unknown time after 3 hours). If I understand it right it’s insufficient. Statement B is clearly insufficient since we don’t know when the rain started, so the earlier 60% doesn’t mean anything.

Together we know that 3 hours accounted for 60% of the rain, and since it’s continuous (which I’m guessing would mean it’s consistent over time, but I’m not entirely sure) you can expect it to stop in 2 hours, at 11:30. So I think the answer is C.

Pretty confusing, so you need to analyze the data. 75% of all interns are below 6 and complain. 70% of the interns who are above 6 don’t complain, while 80% of all interns are below 6. The question asks what % of everyone does not complain.

Well, we have 20% of everyone who are above 6, and of them 70% don’t complain. That’s 14%, so right away we can rule out answers A and B. Now, we’re left with finding the % of the workers who are below 6 and complain, and add the two up.

Of all interns, we know 80% are at less than 6 hours of sleep. We also know that, our of everyone, 75% are at less than 6 hours and complain. Therefore, we must have 5% who are below 6 but don’t complain.

All together we get 14% + 5% = 19%. The answer is C.

I have a small concern with this question- a median of a set of all integers in an interval can’t be 3/4. If you’re talking about midpoint and real numbers or rational numbers, then this would make more sense. And in that case I would agree with rneve above me, looking at the midpoint of sets S and Q as (b – a)/2 = 3b/4 etc. should work.

You can apply to some great UK schools through our Directory.

Please go over the lessons in this Study UK community, as they will introduce some important concepts regarding student visas, living and working in the UK.

Yes, the GRE will probably be required of you if you want to study in North American (and possibly in the UK). The TOEFL or IELTS will also be required most likely so I’d plan to take one of these tests after the GRE.

You can find a few good programs using our school finder, you should give it a try. Good luck.

There’s no need to envy these guys! You can join MSU yourself. All you have to go is apply through their school page.

I hope that universities will allow you to take a course in spite of having only 15 years of education. They may allow you to take a few classes for a year and then join the course, and during that year classes you take may count towards the degree for the end of the course. It will depend on the school.

I’ll really appreciate it if you could come back and post an answer regarding what schools have told you, as I’m sure it’ll benefit others who are in a similar situation. Thanks!

I’m not personally familiar with these institutes and their reputation. I believe they’re all fairly well known and have big names, so they’ll help you in finding a good job. The Birmingham and Newcastle degrees sound more specialized, which can be a good thing if you know exactly where you want to go, but I can’t really comment on this other than that.

I think a good way to start analyzing which school is best would be to look at the career services they offer (if they do). Some schools may have coaching for job interviews and an active careers office with job postings, and this is a great resources in finding a job. Checking out the school’s website should give you a clear picture of that.

Good luck.

As an international student you’ll want to take the IELTS (or TOEFL), that is a very common requirement for admissions. Bachelor-level degrees usually don’t require any special exams, although some schools may administer their own exams. It highly depends on your current level of education. For Masters degrees a GRE score may be required. It’s a good idea to ask a school about their specific requirements and procedures.

Also, you can apply directly to some great schools in the UK and elsewhere right here on LearnHub. Have a look at our Schools Directory.

While we haven’t posted the 2009/10 dates as of yet, you can expect them to be fairly similar (but not identical) to the 2008/9 ones posted above. For example, if one university uses the last Friday in October for round 1, you can expect it to stay relatively the same for next year too.

Please refrain from posting multiple comments in the future. This can happen by mistake if you click on “Add Comment” multiple times.

The fall and spring system is pretty straightforward- universities usually divide the year into 2 (sometimes 3) terms or semesters. In some cases you can join programs in either term, although it makes absolutely no difference which term you choose (other than in terms of dates).

Another reason- you really really hate business and don’t want to be a manager at all.

Many people are good at following directions, but would hate to give others directions and make decisions. If being a manager doesn’t fit your personality and goals, and if you don’t like business, an MBA wouldn’t help you get anywhere you want to go. It’ll probably be better to take a Masters course in an area that interests you and that can better serve your goals than taking an MBA just because it sounds good. That’s another thing to think about.
