gre with indian masala

GRE Graduate Record Examination.

it is a very well known examination ,known to be taken by scores of students who wish to pursue their education in the united states and places where they are recognised.

this test is conducted by a body in the u.s. known as ets,which thorougly believes to test your grasp on the english language.

the english is considered to be a hurdle by the students from non english speaking nations.but atleast for india...well i guess it is not the case,no sir.eee!!!

here is how....
the orthodox traditions of teaching in indian schools dramatically comprises of mugging,which unfortunately is being followed even today.

the english section has a good deal of synonyms,filling gaps etc .

and we have a bunch of publications listing out the most asked gre words and seemingly so that each publication has a different list :P,with very few similarities.

so using the mugging power ,we indians ,who have mastered this craft(from years of unrelenting practice), mug every nook and cranny of the publications and spew it on the exam,though only a lucky few or the deserving manage to get a respectable score in the english section.

and mind you,these words never mange to creep into the vocabulary ,so what we see here is an approach not different to the regular school exams,mug spew delete,though the very motive behind it (i guess),is to get a firmer grip over english.....

anyway.....monkey see monkey do!nothing can evade the indian mentality!

if there isnt a way....sooner or later you will find one,whether you may like it or not!
k00l d00ds those indians! ;)
