For your exam, I think tips would be helpful to you more than the wishes. Please take care of the following things in mind. \n\n 1. Have good sleep on the day before the examination.\n\n 2. Take a light breakfast on the day of examination\n\n 3. Ensure that u have all the stationaries and hall ticket  before leaving your home to examination\n\n 4. Start for the examination earlier than ususal, to avoid last time panics.\n\n 5. Sit and relax yourself in the exam hall before the commencement of examination.\n\n 6. Make sure that u don't have any papers(which may be considered as illegal in most examinations, except few open book exams) in your pockets or purse in the exam hall.\n\n 7. Get the Question paper and answer script and make sure that both are in good condition and there is no misprints or damages.\n\n 8. If possible, read the question paper completely at first quickly. This will give you an idea about which part u know, which u r not feeling confident.\n\n 9. Start answering from the questions which u know very well. This gives a good impression about u to the person who is correcting the paper. (Remember, u don't have second chance to make the first impression).\n\n 10. Write the answers clear and legible. So, that it is easy to read and make the person, who is correcting the paper, comfortable.\n\n 11. Make sure that u will be able to answer all the questions within the limited time.(This u have to plan earlier itself, based on the question pattern and exam).\n\n 12. Atlast, make sure that u have written all the answer and tied (if applicable) all the answer scripts in the orderly way.\n\n 13. Mostly, try to use the full duration of exam time. Don't leave too soon or hurry till the last moment. Adjust ur time, so that u will be using the full duration of the exam.\n\n 14. If time permits, finally revise the answer scripts.\n\n 15. Give the answer scripts (and QP also if applicable) to the invigilator and leave the hall. \n\n 16. Generally, don't discuss about the answers with your friends after exams are over. ( If u feel that ur answers contradict with your friends,this may affect the next exam preparation. U can always discuss these things, after all the exams are over).\n\n \n  These are just guidelines to how to write an exam from my own experience, which i have been following for  more than 10 years. Hope this may help u. All the best for your exams. \n\n\n  Try not to become a man of success, rather try to become a man of value.

Take as many practice exams as possible unitl you are comfortable.\n\nThese practice exams are excellent and you'll be suprised how many of these questions will be on the official exam.\n\nIf you get the praoctice exams to 95-100% then there is little chance of failing the real exam unless you freeze up completely.\n\nIf you have the software practice exams its even better as you can take exams  after exam with questions appearing in different order.

Pick a topic that really interests you and is mentioned in the press but not constantly.  I would not pick the war in Iraq, for example.  Maybe I would write about U.N. policy towards Palestine or Yugoslavia instead, or the Somalian situation.  Research thoroughly and get quotes.  Get statistics and real life stories.  Develop a set of themes and general summary.  Then outline each paragraph with a main point and shape the sentences around that point.  Do not avoid descriptive, metaphorical language and sound political, emotional and yet scientifically accurate.\n\nI cannot stress enough how important it is to know your topic matter and to pick something you are interested in and learn from.  Years ago, I had to write an article on Pakistan and hated it.  It wasn't an interesting country at all and information on events there are inaccurate and underreported.  I had no say in the matter.  We had an impromptu 'U.N. conference' skit and day dedication in history class.

Have a summary sheet, it's a revision sheet where you can write the major points on which you'll be asked about on your test. So you can have a look at the very last opportunity before the test. A lot of hard work I know but worked for me.

There are 5 basic factors that influence a college or university admissions officer:  1)  High School record: 2) SAT or ACT scores; 3) Recommendations from teachers; 4) Outside activities; 5) Admissions essay.\n\nYou can't do anything about number 1, because you have a GED instead. At this point, it may be too late to do anything about outside activities, although I'll get back to that below.  Meanwhile, concentrate on the test scores, recommendation, and essay.\n\nHaving good ACT or SAT scores is a very important way for someone in your situation to show that you are prepared for college.  A high school graduate can point to the school record to show that he can handle classroom work.  Since you can, the scores can demonstrate that you have picked up the basics even though you did not graduate.  I assume you have taken at least one of these tests.  If you did well, you have a good chance to get into a good college or university.  If not, maybe you should re-take them and try to do better.\n\nRecommendations are another way to demonstrate that you have what it takes to succeed in college.  Get to know one or mor of your professors in the community college, and ask them to write you a recommendation.  If they say yes, be sure to provide them with a little biography (one page) that tells stuff about you.  The more personal details the recommendation contains, the more that the college admissions officer will consider it a genuine recommendation of you as an individual.\n\nThen there is the essay.  The "Common Application" used by many colleges, and the individual applications used by the rest require you to write on some topic.  It may only be a few paragraphs, but it is very important for two reasons.  \n\nFirst, it shows whether you know how to write well.  So, make sure that it does that.  It should have NO spelling or grammar mistakes, and it should be clear and well-organized.  As a rule of thumb, you should figure on writing it, then re-writing it to make it better, and then doing it over a third time.  By then, you can get rid of excess verbiage, phony-sounding words, and anything that is less than clear.\n\nSecond, the essay also is your opportunity to tell "your story."  Choose a topic that shows something special about you.  In your case, one obvious possibility is to write about how you dropped out of high school, but have now changed your thinking about education, which is why you want to go to college.  But there can be lots of other topics as well, and you should pick one that lets the reader say, "Oh, I now know something about this kid as a person."\n\nNow, back to the question of extra-curricular activities.  A lot of high school students join a bunch of clubs and stuff just as they are applying for college, thinking it will pad their resumes and make them look good.  It doesn't.  What *does* impress an admissions officer is seeing that you are really passionate about one or two things--playing the piano, playing basketball, or anything like that.  In your case, since you are not in high school, you probably don't have a lot to say about high school activities and groups.  But maybe there is something you CAN say.  Are you a coach for a kids' team?  Do you volunteer at your church or synagogue?  Do you hold down a job along with your schoolwork?  If you have anything that shows that you are doing interesting, important things, by all means mention them in your application.  \n\nBut if there is nothing, well, don't worry too much.  You will have other things going for you.  And the number one thing you have is your commitment to go to college, even if it means taking the long route that you have.  That's very impressive, and very praise-worthy.  Good luck!!

Here are some things apart from working on your engineering concepts, that you should do for a complete preparation for GATE:\n\n1. Solve previous years GATE papers\n\n2. Solve test papers \n\n3. Analyzing your test results is a very important part of taking the test. \n\n4. Take up an all India test series which gives you your percentile and All India Rank: This is very important to avoid the frog-in-the-pond syndrome. Students tend to take it easy if they attain a high score in the tests. However, GATE is an exam in which people are selected on their relative scores. So even if you have scored 95% it does not essentially translate to a percentile of 95. You are competing with the best in India, and to get through GATE you should know where you stand to be among the top few selected for the interview. A test series of this sort is being provided by GATE Forum (www.gateforum.com). More\n\n5. Simulate actual test environment : This is very important. The actual test happens in a classroom, and is timed. When you take up the test, switch off your cell phone, have a timer which times your tests, and avoid taking any breaks. Also, if possible, take up a mock test series which enables you to take the test in a classroom environment.\n\nI am also a CS student but i start my preperation in next year because now i am in 3rd year.\n\nBEST OF LUCK.............

To really have a good competitive chance.\n\nSAT - 2150 and above, aim for at least 700 a section, that includes the SAT II's. Pick your strongest subject and take the SAT subject test, try to get 750 and above.\n\nYour ACTs could definitely improve.\n\nBe sure to have good extracurricular records. Actively participate in different activities. It would also look good to do volunteer.

If you can choose the subject pick one that you have an avid interest in.  Plan the main points that you are going to cover, then expand on each of those.  Time your presentation carefully, but have a few extras up your sleeve just in case you run dry.  Try to think of questions that may be asked & have the answers ready.  Good Luck

If you want to prepare, the best way is to study. If you want old answers/questions to study I would suggest buying a test preparation book. Or if the regents you're refering to take place in NY check out http://regentsprep.org/

Ask what YOU want to know. Try to ask stuff that you cannot find on the college's site or brochures. Asking some of the college students themselves is a lot of times more rewarding than whoever is leading the tour or session.\n\nA good question is:\nIf there was one thing you would change about this college, what would it be and why?

It will be easy. Dont worry. Give concentration on Big questions and follow the old papers. Thats enough

What methods can I use to prepare for tests?\nOrganization is very important when you have a great deal of information to study. I recommend these methods: \n\nReview your old tests. Make corrections if you have not already done so to avoid repeating your mistakes. \nGo over your class notes. If you do not understand something you have written, or if you have "holes" in your notes, ask your teacher for help. \nTry to anticipate the kinds of questions your teacher will ask on the test. Make out some sample questions or even entire tests. \nReview the chapters in your textbook that the test will cover. Pay particular attention to boldface terms, chapter summaries, and questions in the text. Most important of all is the recommendation that you understand there is no easy way to prepare for this kind of major test. After all, the time you spend in preparing should pay off when you do well on the test. \nSet aside time each day to work on your subjects. Even if you are all caught up, spend the time to go over notes or your textbook. \nTell your teacher that you would like to talk about your progress in class, and ask for suggestions on how you can do better. \nGo to the library and check out books that are on the same topic you are studying in class. \nPay attention in class no matter what is going on around you. This will be hard, but if you can concentrate on what your teacher is saying you will learn the facts and skills that you will find later in tests. Keeping up with homework and participating in class are very important. \nAs for tests, here are a few suggestions to help you: \n\nTalk with your teachers about your concerns. They really want you to do well and are more than willing to help! \nWhat type of test is most difficult for you? Do you do better on essays than you do on multiple choice questions? Decide which type of test gives you the most problems. Then you can learn techniques for taking that kind of test. \nAre you studying effectively for your exams? Here are some ideas that will make a difference. \nMake sure you know what material will be covered on the exam. There is nothing worse than studying for hours only to find out you were doing the wrong chapters. Go over your notes. Do not wait until the last minute to study. Try to tie all your information into a big picture in your head. Visualize information. Get a good sleep the night before, and eat a nourishing breakfast. When you first sit down to a test, start answering something, anything, immediately. Once you start, you will be on a roll. Do not get discouraged!\n\n\nOR\n\n\nGo to a nice, clean, neat desk in your room. If you have paper junk and leftover pizza slices on your desk, studying will not be the biggest problem on your mind. \nMake sure that you have all these study supplies: a pencil, a notebook, books to study, and good old-fashioned silence. Unless you're completely positive you work better with music, turn off the stereo. Focusing is hard enough without Beyonce telling you "you make me lose my breath". \nGet out your pencil, notebook, and book to study. Brace yourself. \nOpen the notebook and book you are studying. \nRead the chapter or whatever you have to study in your book. Concentrate. \nWhile you are reading you want to make notes of the little things. Make it short enough so that you can study it. Make short little breaks now and then (think half an hour of studying= 5 minute break) unless you're cramming, and in that case, good luck to you. \nGet a friend, Mom, Dad or someone to test you on what you have just read and studied. A key here would be to make sure that the person has a fair amount of patience. \nDo this every night until the day of the test/quiz. Depending on what you're studying and how much time you have, give yourself assigned time slots. \n\n\n\nTips \nYou need peace and quiet for all the steps above (or at least, they greatly HELP). \nYour attitude greatly helps the outcome of your study
