Question by Jane: What do you do with consistently annoying neighbors?
We live in a condo complex and our next door neighbors just have to listen to rave music from 11pm – 2am every night without headphones. It’s loud and the bass cuts right through walls. At least twice a month, my husband and I have to kindly ask them to keep the volume down so we can get some sleep. They’d say ok and turn it down just a little, then the same thing happens a few days later. Clearly they don’t jobs to go to in the morning! We have thought about calling the police, but really, what can the police do but issue a verbal warning? Should we contact our condo management office? We’re getting tired of asking them to turn down the noise, and have talked with our other neighbors. They too agree that this is an issue, but since they’re across the hall, the noise isn’t too bad for them. We’re considering leasing the condo and moving out, but it’s just unfair how the rude & selfish get to do whatever they want and not be stopped or punished. What can you do?

Use in admissions

Many graduate schools in English-speaking countries (especially in the United States) require GRE results as part of the admissions process. The GRE is a standardized test intended to measure the abilities of all graduates in tasks of general academic nature, regardless of their fields of specialization. The GRE is supposed to measure the extent to which undergraduate education has developed an individual’s verbal and quantitative skills in abstract thinking.

Unlike other standardized admissions tests (such as the SAT, LSAT, and MCAT), the use and weight of GRE scores vary considerably not only from school to school, but from department to department, and from program to program too. Programs in liberal arts topics may only consider the applicant’s verbal score to be of interest, while mathematics and science programs may only consider quantitative ability; however, since most applicants to mathematics, science, or engineering graduate programs all have high quantitative scores, the verbal score can become a deciding factor even in these programs.

Admission to graduate schools depends on complex mix of several different factors. Schools see letters of recommendation, statement of purpose, GPA, GRE score etc.[14] Some schools use the GRE in admissions decisions, but not in funding decisions; others use the GRE for the selection of scholarship and fellowship candidates, but not for admissions. In some cases, the GRE may be a general requirement for graduate admissions imposed by the university, while particular departments may not consider the scores at all. Graduate schools will typically provide information about how the GRE is considered in admissions and funding decisions, and the average scores of previously admitted students. The best way to find out how a particular school or program evaluates a GRE score in the admissions process is to contact the person in charge of graduate admissions for the specific program in question (and not the graduate school in general).

Programs that involve significant expository writing require the submission of a prepared writing sample that is considered more useful in determining writing ability than the analytical writing section; however, the writing scores of foreign students are sometimes given more scrutiny and are used as an indicator of overall comfort with and mastery of conversational English.

GRE Subject Tests

In addition to the General Test, there are also eight GRE Subject Tests testing knowledge in the specific areas of Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Literature in English, Mathematics, Physics, and Psychology. In the past, subject tests were also offered in the areas of Economics, Revised Education, Engineering, Geology, History, Music, Political Science, and Sociology. In April 1998, the Revised Education and Political Science exams were discontinued. In April 2000, the History and Sociology exams were discontinued, and the other four were discontinued in April 2001.[2]

GRE and GMAT

GMAT(The Graduate Management Admission Test) is a computer adaptive standardized test in mathematics and the English language for measuring aptitude to succeed academically in graduate business studies. Business schools commonly use the test as one of many selection criteria for admission into an MBA program. However, there are many business schools that also accept GRE scores.

The following are criteria of certain business schools:

U Penn-Wharton School: Official test scores for the GMAT or GRE tests.
Stanford: Finance – The GRE is preferred, although the GMAT will be accepted.
NYU-Stern School: While we strongly prefer the GMAT, we will accept scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).
U Chicago: For Economics – the GRE is required. For Finance – the GRE is preferred; GMAT is acceptable. For all other areas – the GRE or the GMAT are accepted.
Berkeley-Haas: Without exception, all applicants to the Haas Ph.D. Program must submit official scores of either the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Examination.

In comparison with GMAT’s emphasis on logic, GRE measures the test-takers’ ability more in vocabulary. This difference is reflected in the structure of each test. Despite the Analytical Writing section in common, GRE has analogies, antonyms, sentence completions, and reading comprehension passages in Verbal section, while GMAT has sentence correction, critical reasoning and reading comprehension. Also, higher mathmatical ability is required in GMAT to get a good score.

Preparation

A variety of resources are available for those wishing to prepare for the GRE. Upon registration, ETS provides preparation software called PowerPrep, which contains two practice tests of retired questions, as well as further practice questions and review material. Since the software replicates both the test format and the questions used, it can be useful to predict the actual GRE scores. ETS does not license their past questions to any other company, making them the only source for official retired material. ETS used to publish the “BIG BOOK” which contained a number of actual GRE questions; however, this publishing was abandoned. Several companies provide courses, books and other unofficial preparation materials.

ETS has claimed that content of the GRE is “un-coachable”; however, many test preparation companies like Kaplan, Princeton Review, IMS Learning Resources, VISU etc claim that the test format is so rigid that familiarizing oneself with the test’s organization, timing, specific foci, and the use of process of elimination is the best way to increase a GRE score.[15]
