Crack the GRE, Seize the Admission and 
Take off to US with
Full Aid


Computer adaptive coaching for 
a computer adaptive world

If you want to go to a grad school in US, you should think seriously about GRE preparation, choosing the right universities, preparing recommendation letters, statement of purpose, scholarships and obtaining a VISA.

Scary, isn't it?  Not any more with the scientific, time tested approach that I myself followed and have seen many others follow successfully

You just need to do three things correctly for higher education in the US. 

 

Excel in the GRE and other exams

 

Select the university that definitely gives an admission for your background

 

Prepare an application package that gets you the aid in the college that you choose

 

 

We have developed a system that addresses all these three, like no other system has done before.  

A method that is perfect, complete and extremely useful, the satisfied users are calling it 

The Best in the game


I took GRE in January and scored 650 in my Analytical. As I saw your CD, I decided to try my luck again and prepared for 10 days on your CD. In my second attempt, with those 10 days of preparation, my analytical scores went up to 750. These hundred points brought my scores from 2080 to 2200. A difference between a good school and a top school. Thanks a Lot. I owe it all to you and excitedly recommend your CD to any one planning to study in the US.

This page has a lot of information as I, for the first time, am going to reveal the entire method.  So, save it and read offline if you wish so and get back to activate hyper links.

All the remaining page you are going to read  has a lot of information 
and may take a lot of time


However, I, for the first time, am going to reveal the entire method and hence read it as patiently as you can.


What do you need to get these three things correctly?

Let us get down to the business right away.  What do you need to get into a good US university for a Masters or a Ph.D?

  • Advice on whether to apply for a Masters or a Ph.D.

  • Advice on which universities you should consider.

  • A tutorial on how to get applications and other required material from them.

  • An overview of the exams that need to be taken.

  • A thorough practice for the most important exam: the GRE.

  • Expert help on choosing the right universities for your application package.

  • Step-by-step  guidelines to prepare a good application package.

  • A proven set of strategies for obtaining the Visa.

  • A community where you can interact with friends and peers regarding all your doubts and questions.

  • A scholarship program to help you with the finances.

No doubt it is a daunting list.  But, this is how a winner should approach the admission issue.  Perfect, no loose strings left and foolproof.  Without this, you may still manage an admission.

But just see for yourself.  

If your competitor gets all these right and you don't, it is certain that he/she will land in a better university than you even though you have similar capabilities.

Take my example for that case. 

I graduated from REC Trichy in 1992.  I was third in a class of 25 in the first three years.  I was from a Telugu medium school until B.E.  I prepared for the exam with the same strategies that i am going to talk about.  

My GRE scores:  640V, 800Q and 790A.  What more:

I had very ordinary extra curricular and co-curricular activities.  But, I just prepared and applied the correct way.  And the result...

Complete fellowships from Carnegie Mellon, Brown and Drexel universities.

I still hold a record for maximum number of fellowships in the history of my department.  I was not the best student in the history of my department (I was not even in my year).  But needless to say, I was the best applicant.

Take Dr. Sudha P. Iyer, for instance

She has taken an active part in compiling the Placementor.com "GradMentor/MS-PhD"  She got four fellowships with just 15 years of education.  She got a fellowship for a direct Ph.D with just 15 years of education.  Now, this is a rarity.

 

You can attain the same mastery yourself in three different  
        ways


1.  Read every book there is and browse every site that is available on applying, preparing and getting admission in US universities.  Spend hundreds of hours figuring out what to do and how to win the game.  Play trial and error and hope that you have not made any costly mistakes.

2. Pay some one else to do it for you.  The problem is that good consultants (if there are any) are very expensive and cannot be half as passionate as you are.

The run of the mill consultants sell you a junk university I-20 for Rs. 30,000 and will prove to be a lot more expensive at a later date when you realize that you will not get a job any where with the degree you acquired.

Realize that with the increased awareness, employers around the globe now not only look at the degree, they also see the university that gave you that degree.  Don't take my word for it; just use some common sense.

3.  Let Sudha, me and our entire team (by the way there are 24 Ph.Ds involved in the team), who cracked the process, walk you through it. 

No guide in the market comes close to what we independently discovered and used to get the fellowships.  I am sure that the PowerKit in your hand had already convinced you of it. 

No system teaches you the insider secrets that we used so effectively.   We wanted to make a difference in your lives.

We did not want just marginal improvement.  We wanted to revolutionize the way people prepared to go to US and we spent 10,000 hrs. on building a product. And what a product it has turned out to be...

...ATSGRE is the ultimate tool that walks you through all the steps.  So far there has been nothing like this in the market.  Complete, foolproof and result oriented.

Our delighted users are saying

Placementor.com "GradMentor/MS-PhD" is the most important prerequisite to 
go to US on a student Visa'


It is good, fantastic, marvelous, excellent, nice.

The approach is so efficient, you'll hardly believe that you've finished the entire process elegantly after you reach "THE END." Once you know how, you can guarantee your own entry.

Before I go on discussing Placementor.com "GradMentor/MS-PhD", let me tell you what I have learned about the existing systems of GRE preparation. 

Between us we spent a lot of time dissecting other packages.  The more we researched, the more we discovered why so many students are finding it terribly difficult to master the art of applying to universities.

Why are most other GRE training products 
are not worth the time or money

1.  They were not created by people that did it themselves. We've been there, done that...  "The voice of experience is the best teacher."

2.  They do not train you on the right format.  I could not find a single source other than ETS which completely understood the CAT concept.  Most companies sell CBTs and not CATS and still think they are selling CATs (at least they say that).

3.  There is very little originality.  As a researcher, I was looking at how much research went into the preparation of their packages.  I only realized that they either copy each other or don't care as much about content as the packaging.  

4.  They do not take the recent changes in the GRE into account.  The new GRE is a bit tougher than the previous versions because of the CAT mode.  Not even one resource took care of this in setting their questions or course material.

These are the factors that we kept in mind while developing Placementor.com "GradMentor/MS-PhD".  

The Placementor.com "GradMentor/MS-PhD" is developed with one simple goal:
You get admissions with assistantships in a good US university if you follow everything that is given in the package.

Here is a summary of what is in the product.

The GRE Preparation

GRE preparation has two main steps.

  • Getting used to the right kind of questions

  • Getting used to the right kind of pattern

What are the right kind of questions to practice?

What can give better practice to you than the previous years' question papers?  ETS has released 27 actual GRE question papers along with the answer keys. In the Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) format, this is approximately equal to 68 verbal, 39 analytical and 54 quantitative test papers. 

To put it in simple terms, this is an absolute overdose of preparation material. But these are the most appropriate questions to practice as they've appeared earlier in the GRE. They present you with the exact difficulty level and are from the same concepts that are involved in GRE.

However the Big Book does not give 
you what you need the most: 
The explanations to the answers

You will see it better in this example:

The following is a question from Big Book, test no. 16, section1, page 613, Q.14 (percentile score 46%) 

Selflessness : Altruist::

A. Pragmatism : Philanthropist
B. Expertise : Connoisseur
C. Indiscretion : Misanthrope
D. Enthusiasm : Dilettante
E. Imperviousness : Fanatic

Ans: B

This is exactly what is found in the Big Book.

Now, where do we make the difference?

Let's first see the useful and ignored details in here. The percentile of people who got it right is a mere 46%, which means more than 50% of the students got it wrong. It could have been brushed off lightly in the non-CAT days. But today, you can score better if you solve such questions instead of the easy ones.

Now, after seeing how important the question is, let's solve it.

Selflessness is the characteristic of an altruist

A. Pragmatism (practicality) is not the primary characteristic of a philanthropist (one who does good to mankind).

B. Expertise or skill is the characteristic of a connoisseur (one with an in-depth knowledge).

C. Indiscretion (being unwise) is not the characteristic of a misanthrope. A misanthrope just hates mankind.

D. Enthusiasm is not the primary characteristic of a dilettante. A dilettante has a superficial knowledge of a subject and lacks seriousness.

E. Imperviousness is the trait of not allowing anything to pass through. The characteristic of a fanatic is extremism and not imperviousness. He in fact allows his own ideology to pass through.

Hence, the answer is (B).

We have solved more than 2500 such actual GRE questions (that is 81 full Sections) in a step-by-step process that makes it very easy for your reference. 

All you will need is the Big Book and your computer
You are well on your way to success.


What is the right kind of pattern?

ETS GRECAT is a lot different from any other computer based test that is available in the market.  If you have the Big Book, open the answer key to any test.

In addition to the section, question number, answer key, you will find a number called percentile.  It is the number of students who answered this question correctly.  ETS uses these to determine the difficulty of each question.

In a CAT, when you start the exam, you will see a question that was answered by 50% of the people correctly.  If you get it right, the difficult level increases (say to a question that was answered correctly by only 25%).  

If you now get that wrong, the difficulty level decreases (say to a question that was answered correctly by only 35%).  It keeps fluctuating until, it establishes a suitable level for you.  The final score is decided by the level of difficulty you can answer the question correctly.

To exactly determine the ETS algorithm is a difficult task.  However, one can realize after some amount of research that the algorithm builds some inertia (it does not fall sharply if you answer many questions correctly) and that certain number of questions are essential for building this inertia.

Working on CATs is a great way of getting used to the pattern.  However, there is an inherent problem in preparing with CATS.

ETS or PowerPrep has designed the CATs to test and not to train.

From the second attempt onwards they repeat.  

Placementor.com "GradMentor/MS-PhD" ensures that you can practice with CATs unlimited number of times.  In addition, it ensures that questions do not repeat themselves in any three consecutive tests.

Your questions are truly customized to you and 
they don't repeat until you get sufficient training 
on the CAT interface.

 

Test strategies:

This section is to the point and mission oriented.  We have identified short cuts, methods that work, the long calculations that you cannot avoid and everything else there is to know about cracking the GRE.

You should be able to tackle each and every question that may appear on the day you are taking the exam.

Some of the strategies that are unique to this package are:

  • How to get a sentence completion always correct simply by rewriting the given sentence?

  • What is it that you need to know to never make a mistake in the verbal analogies

  • Exactly how many types of logical games do you have in the GRE and how to identify and answer them in a scientific manner?

  • A complete preview of the advanced mathematics that might appear in the tougher GRE and practice questions.

  • There are so many worked out problems along with this material that many students thought this alone was worth more than the entire package.


    My scores went up from 1800 to 2100 with your strategies.  They are not found anywhere else.

    the Package Now
 

Choosing the best universites for your background is undoubtedly the most important task in the application process.  This is where you need maximum guidance.  

What you need is to exercise your own choice 
while being advised by an expert.
  

If you are anything like I was, you must be aiming at applying to as many lower ranked universities as possible.  You must be saying "they can't reject me".  Right?  wrong!!

I applied to CMU, BROWN and Drexel (all of which were in the top 15 in my field) and Vanderbilt, Tennessee and Connecticut (all of which were much lower ranked).  Guess what happened

I got

A full fellowship for Direct Ph.D from all three top universities and
A reject for even Masters admission from
all bottom universities!!

Remember that universities are very critical in assessing your candidature.  If they feel that you are over qualified for them they will simply reject you.  You must apply to universities that feel that you are the candidate that will accept their offer. 

But they take many things in to account.  Like your GRE, TOEFL scores, academic standing, your previous degree and the reputation of the institution that offered it, your extra curricular activities, your projects etc. 

Now how to then analyze where you should apply to?  
RightUniv of Placementor.com "GradMentor/MS-PhD" simplifies this task 
for you like no other tool has ever done before.
 

We have divided departments in to four division.  Engineering, Social Sciences, Fine Arts and Literature, Pure Sciences.  Each division has at least 100 universities from which you can choose.

We have further classified these universities in to four categories in each division.  We have taken the US News rankings, the admission criteria, overall reputation and our own expertise in building this list.

The form is very exhaustive as it should be.  We scrutinize your application as carefully as a departmental admission committee and suggest you how you should distribute your universities between these categories.

We then give you a compounded score based on 
your background and guide you on how you 
should distribute your universities in each category.

You will end up applying to
the universities that want you

 

How to get an aid?

GRE is a just small step in securing the final result. You'll need to get great recommendations, write a perfect statement of purpose, attention grabbing letters, an appealing resume and do a lot more. We will tell you how to do them in a How-to manner.

Some of the gems in this package are answers to the following questions:

  • How to compete with people who have higher scores and hail from better colleges?

  • Should you apply for a Masters or a Ph.D?

  • How to report your scores smartly?

  • How to draft a convincing recommendation from a professor even though you scored poorly in the concerned subject?

  • How exactly should the statement of purpose be?

  • What are all the value-adds that you can have in your application package that make you stand out in any competition space?

My application package that got me three full fellowships weighed 1/2 a Kilogram.  I have included every word from it in the Placementor.com "GradMentor/MS-PhD".  


I never knew that I could compile such a fantastic application package.  

My personal favorites are "the basics of recommendation letters", "How to write a good resume" and "How to write a project report".  My Ph.D admission is a testimonial of the effectiveness of your package.

WordMine

As I believe in over delivering, I wanted to add a surprise bonus.  Placementor.com-WordMine100 (a revolutionary vocabulary builder).  This is a demo version.  The actual version consists of more than 1500 words and has a lot more features.
