My common errors in GMAT exam

My common mistakes while reading:

1. I am not reading actively
2. I am reading the answer choices superficially
3. I am not reading the answer choices at all
4. When I am down with only 2 choices I am always picking the wrong ones.
a. Do not pick strong tone words especially in RC
b. If there is no mention, then no point in choosing the answer choice- however good it may sound or look attractive.
I got a pathetic hit rate of 64% on Kaplan practice RC’s. It was like throwing s**t on my face. Do I really deserve to get in to IIM-A? Do I really deserver to get a 730+ in the exam?

All the concepts are known. There is no specific strategy required. Read CRITICALLY. Drill and doubt each and every word given in the answer choices. “Walk” around the suspicious words. If you can not find anything specific, continue wandering around the word. You can find a convoluted fact with the wrong answer choice. There is nothing specific to learn in CR. It is all about understanding the question and the given answer choices. All the words are carefully engineered to deceive you. Improve your brain power. It has to be laser focus, to face every question thrown at you.

Before excluding any answer choice at a first go, better keep it under suspicion. This is the common mistake I am making. Don’t reject the answer choice out right. Exclude all dirty answer. Elimination has to be 100% correct and with confidence. Precision is the answer here. The words and the answer choices you see are meticulously formulated by experts to deceive you. So work with extreme caution. To score high you need to concentrate like an acid and you have to maintain the vigor through the test. Good luck to me.

Effective way to clean your optical instruments

We all use different kinds of optical instruments like spectacles, cameras, laptop screens, desktop monitors, touch screen phones etc. We often see the smudges or finger print marks leading to irritation or poor visibility. I tried to clean the surfaces using different kind of clothes like cotton, terylene, nylon, sponge etc., But nothing worked. Then finally I found something interesting at big bazaar. It is a cleaning cloth invented by 3M which is a reputed company for its innovative products. It is one of the members of Scotch Brite cleaning products family. The name of the cloth is "High performance cloth ". It is 1/4 of the standard hand-kerchief size. Though it is pricy (Rs.30 or so), it is worth for its money. It is washable, durable and moreover it cleans the smudges and finger prints with out traces. It definitely stands for its promise. Give a try.

How to find RF energy SAR for your mobile?

I always wondered why the important information of SAR is not given for many handsets and often it is difficult to get from different web sites. It means that you will not generally find the information in the first few visits to the company website. It is tucked deep in to the website, making it difficult to access to common public.I have tried to compile some of the information I could collect so far. Be prepared to get some sweet and shocking surprises about your sixth finger. SAR varies from company to company and model to model. Hence if you are confused between two hand sets to choose, go with the one that is emitting lesser RF energy.

How much RF energy your handset is producing? What is considered a safe level of RF exposure?
All wireless phones sold in the United States meet government requirements that limit their RF energy to safe levels. The relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a wireless telephone-user is given by the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The FCC requires wireless phones to have SAR levels no greater than 1.6 watts per kilogram.
