Graduate school success depends on qualities that are not measured by the GRE—we all know it. Why aren’t we moving toward a holistic approach to graduate admission? Also, the GRE costs hundreds of dollars! Who has the financial solubility for that? Or for the prep courses, the materials, the tutors? Let me tell you who doesn’t: not-rich people.

The next day, I get a call from this student's mother.
My daughter has said nothing about the GRE. All she ever talks about is color. Is color on the GRE?
No, It's not. But it should be.

How to make sense of sunsets.

I am supposed to be helping her prepare for the GRE. Instead, we spend most of the time talking about color. The color of my clothes and shoes. The color of other people's clothes and shoes. The color of the sky when the sun has dipped just low enough to cause red light to bend the most and then, voilà, a sunset.

Compared to a control group, those told to interpret their stress as positive had the same physiological benefits as in the previous studies. But they also got higher scores—not just in the fake test but in the real GRE, which they took up to three months later.

You know who traditionally does poorly on standardized tests? Women and marginalized individuals. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy: groups that are constantly told by society that they’re less smart walk into a testing situation anxious as hell and end up underperforming. It’s called Stereotype Threat, and there’s tons of literature on that. Just like there’s tons of literature showing that the GRE does a terrible job at predicting who’ll finish grad school. But the heads of graduate admission all over the country don’t care and persist in using an instrument made to elevate rich white men.” She shakes out her hair. “Burn it down, I say.

including salutary effects on the following: • major depression • drug addiction • binge eating • smoking cessation • stress among cancer patients • loneliness among senior citizens • ADHD • asthma • psoriasis • irritable bowel syndrome Studies also indicated that meditation reduced levels of stress hormones, boosted the immune system, made office workers more focused, and improved test scores on the GRE. Apparently mindfulness did everything short of making you able to talk to animals and bend spoons with your mind. This research boom got its start with a Jew-Bu named Jon Kabat-Zinn, a Manhattan-raised, MIT-trained microbiologist who claimed to have had an elaborate epiphany—a “vision,” he called it—while on a retreat in 1979. The substance of the vision was that he could bring meditation to a much broader audience by stripping it of Buddhist metaphysics. Kabat-Zinn designed something called Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), an eight-week course that taught secularized meditation to tens of thousands of people around America and the world. Having a simple, replicable meditation protocol made it easy to test the effects on patients.

Osebnosti, ki se zaveda svoje razdvojenosti in se zavestno bori, da postane celovita, ni treba ustvarjati negativne karme, da bi se razvila, da bi se naučila ustvarjati odgovornost, da bi pridobila avtentično moč. Ko se zavestno borite z izbiro med hotenji svoje osebnosti in potrebami svoje duše, ste v dinamiki, s katero se lahko razvijate brez ustvarjanja negativne karme. To je dinamika skušnjave. Skušnjava je sočuten način Vsemirja, da vam dovoli, da greste skozi to, kar bi bila škodljiva karmična dinamika, če bi pustili, da bi se fizično izrazila. Je energija, s katero je vaši duši milostno dana priložnost, da gre v prostem teku skozi življenjsko učno uro, skozi položaj, ki se ga da, če ga jasno razumete, odstraniti in pozdraviti v mejah svojega zasebnega sveta energije, ne da bi ga izlili v večje energetsko polje drugih duš. Skušnjava je generalka za karmično izkušnjo negativnosti. Celotna dinamika skušnjav je sočutna pot, ki vam omogoči, da vidite možna tveganja in se očistite, preden lahko vplivate na življenja drugih. Je oblika vabe, v katerih se negativnost sočutno potegne iz vas, če to razumete, preden ustvarite karmo. Ko se odzovete na vabo, se očistite, ker se začnete zavedati, in vam v resnici ni treba doživeti izkušnje. Očistite se, ne da bi ustvarjali karmo in sodelovali z drugimi dušami. Kako krasna je skušnjava. Je magnet, ki vleče vase zavedanje k temu, kar bi ustvarjalo negativno karmo, če bi ostalo nezavedno.

-¿Y qué más? Con respecto a los enemigos, ¿cómo se comportarán nuestros soldados? -¿En qué cosa? -Lo primero, en lo que toca a hacer esclavos, ¿parece justo que las ciudades de Grecia hagan esclavos a los griegos o más bien deben imponerse en lo posible aun a las otras ciudades para que respeten la raza griega evitando así su propia esclavitud bajo los bárbaros? -En absoluto -dijo-; importa mucho que la respeten. -¿Y, por tanto, que no adquiramos nosotros ningún esclavo griego y que en el mismo sentido aconsejemos a los otros helenos? -En un todo -repuso-; de ese modo se volverán más bien contra los bárbaros y dejarán en paz a los propios. -¿Y qué más? ¿Es decoroso -dije yo- despojar, después de la victoria, a los muertos de otra cosa que no sean sus armas? ¿No sirve ello de ocasión a los cobardes para no marchar contra el enemigo, como si al quedar agachados sobre un cadáver estuvieran haciendo algo indispensable, y no han perecido muchos ejércitos con motivo de semejante depredación? -Bien cierto. -¿No ha de parecer villano y sórdido el despojo de un cadáver y propio asimismo de un ánimo enteco y mujeril el considerar como enemigo el cuerpo de un muerto cuando ya ha volado de él la enemistad y sólo ha quedado el instrumento con que luchaba? ¿Crees, acaso, que éstos hacen otra cosa que lo que los perros que se enfurecen contra las piedras que les lanzan sin tocar al que las arroja? -Ni más ni menos -dijo. -¿Hay, pues, que acabar con la depredación de los muertos y con la oposición a que se les entierre? -Hay que acabar, por Zeus -contestó. XVI. -Ni tampoco, creo yo, hemos de llevar a los templos las armas para erigirlas allí, y mucho menos las de los griegos, si es que nos importa algo la benevolencia para con el resto de Grecia; más bien temeremos que el llevar allá tales despojos de nuestros allegados sea contaminar el templo, si ya no es que el dios dice otra cosa. -Exacto -dijo. -¿Y qué diremos de la devastación de la tierra helénica y del incendio de sus casas? ¿Qué harán tus soldados en relación con sus enemigos? -Oiría con gusto -dijo- tu opinión sobre ello. -A mí me parece -dije- que no deben hacer ninguna de aquellas dos cosas, sino sólo quitarles y tomar para sí la cosecha del año. ¿Quieres que te diga la razón de ello? -Bien de cierto. -Creo que a los dos nombres de guerra y sedición corresponden dos realidades en las discordias que se dan en dos terrenos distintos: lo uno se da en lo doméstico y allegado; lo otro, en lo ajeno y extraño. La enemistad en lo doméstico es llamada sedición; en lo ajeno, guerra. -No hay nada descaminado en lo que dices -respondió. -Mira también si es acertado esto otro que voy a decir: afirmo que la raza griega es allegada y pariente para consigo misma, pero ajena y extraña en relación con el mundo bárbaro. -Bien dicho -observó. -Sostendremos, pues, que los griegos han de combatir con los bárbaros y los bárbaros con los griegos y que son enemigos por naturaleza unos de otros y que esta enemistad ha de llamarse guerra; pero, cuando los griegos hacen otro tanto con los griegos, diremos que siguen todos siendo amigos por naturaleza, que con ello la Grecia enferma y se divide y que esta enemistad ha de ser llamada sedición.

Danes bi dejal, da me je srednji vek privlačil zaradi dveh razlogov. Najprej zaradi poklicnih razlogov. Odločil sem postati zgodovinar po poklicu. Prakticiranje večine znanosti je brez dvoma stvar profesionalcev, strokovnjakov. Zgodovinska znanost ni tako ekskluzivna. Četudi gre po mojem mnenju za razpravo, ki je pomembna za naš čas, ko mediji omogočajo malone vsakomur pripovedovati ali pisati zgodovino v podobah ali v besedah, se ne bom lotil vprašanja kakovosti zgodovinske produkcije. Nikakršnega monopola ne zahteva za znanstvene zgodovinarje. Diletanti in vulganizatorji zgodovine so po svoje dopadljivi in koristni; njihova uspešnost pa kaže, kako močno potrebo občutijo današnji ljudje, da bi se udeleževali kolektivnega spomina. Želim si, da bi zgodovina ob tem, ko bo postala bolj znanstvena, lahko še zmeraj ostala umetnost. Če hočemo hraniti spomin ljudi, potrebujemo prav toliko okusa, stila in strasti kakor strogosti in metode. Zgodovino delamo z dokumenti in idejami, z viri in z domišljijo.

What would be a better tool to use in high school classroom than textbooks or timelines for creating an effective learning environment that could reflect the dynamic nature of historical study? Out of all the various alternatives, by far, film. Film is a hugely popular medium with endless number of historically based works that not only present facts but dramatize the human relationships behind those facts.
The main critique presented against the use of historical film in the classroom is the existence of rampant inaccuracies and biases laced throughout these films, not to mention the agendas of the filmmakers themselves. However these seeming flaws are part of the reason why film is an ideal teaching tool. It can foster deep critical thinking skills if instructors lead dialogues after film viewings about the inaccuracies, the biases and all of the things that make the film not just a record of a historical event, but also a reflection of the modern moment.

Zaljubljenost je torej zveza s samim seboj, čeprav vanjo povabimo še nekoga, na katerega projiciramo svoja občutja."
"Zaljubiti se pomeni ljubiti podobnosti, ljubiti pa pomeni zaljubiti se v razlike."
"Ko ne moremo vplivati na to, kdaj bo prispelo nekaj, kar željno pričakujemo, se čakanje še toliko bolj vleče. Naj bo res ali ne, v vsakem primeru se nam bo zdelo, da čakamo predolgo."
"Človek gre lahko proč za nekaj časa, ne da bi nehal ljubiti z vsem svojim srcem."
"Sploh ne trdim, da ni zdravo čakati na tisto, kar ljubimo. Pravim le, da bi bilo veliko prijetnejše, če bi lahko nehali pričakovati in se prepustili veselju, ko bi na obzorju zagledali prihajati tisto, kar smo si tako želeli, čeprav nismo več čakali na to. Morda bomo tako manj zahtevni do tistega, kar nam prihaja naproti.

Ne gre za to, da bi v trenutku, ko sem pomislil, da bi začel poslušati svoj notranji glas, doživel nekakšno veliko prebujenje ali da bi dosegel nekakšno edinstveno duševno stanje. Toda kratek premor od mojih podivjanih misli, mi je dal čudovit občutek svobode. Misli niso izginile, vendar tudi niso bile več tako hipnotične. Bilo je, kot da bi duševno stopil korak nazaj in se začel zavedati, da četudi imam misli, jaz nisem svoje misli. Misli same po sebi niso težava. Toda če se samodejno, nekritično poistovetimo z vsako mislijo, ki jo doživimo - to pa je velikanska težava. Neizurjen um to pogosto počne. Čutimo, da so naša identiteta in misli neločljivo povezane.

Ko nam malce distance pomaga, da miselne procese vidimo jasneje in se začnemo zavedati, da se drugi ljudje ubadajo z enakimi stvarmi kot mi, je zaradi tega samo po sebi lažje opaziti stvari, ki si jih ljudje delimo, in ne samo tistih, ki nas razdvajajo. Ne glede na to, kdo smo, od kod prihajamo ali kakšna je nasa zgodovina, imamo po navadi veliko skupnega, ko gre za naše notranje delovanje. Če to priznamo in osvetlimo, se
lažje nehamo pretvarjati, da smo nad vsem. Lažje pomagamo drug drugemu, delimo, se resnično srečujemo. Lahko se dopolnjujemo, namesto da bi tekmovali, in se veselimo, da nismo samotni sateliti. Lahko se učimo drug od drugega brez strahu, da nam bo spodletelo.

Alison Wood Brooks, an associate professor at Harvard Business School, had a different notion of how to handle nervousness. In a series of three studies, she subjected groups of people to experiences that most everyone would find nerve-racking: completing “a very difficult IQ test” administered “under time pressure”; delivering, on the spot, “a persuasive public speech about ‘why you are a good work partner’ ”; and most excruciating of all, belting out an 80s pop song (“Don’t Stop Believin’,” by Journey). Before beginning the activity, participants were to direct themselves to stay calm, or to tell themselves that they were excited. Reappraising nervousness as excitement yielded a noticeable difference in performance. The IQ test takers scored significantly higher. The speech givers came across as more persuasive, competent, and confident. Even the singers performed more passably (as judged by the Nintendo Wii Karaoke Revolution program they used). All reported genuinely feeling the pleasurable emotion of excitement—a remarkable shift away from the unpleasant discomfort such activities might be expected to engender. In a similar fashion, we can choose to reappraise debilitating “stress” as productive “coping.” A 2010 study carried out with Boston-area undergraduates looked at what happens when people facing a stressful experience are informed about the positive effects of stress on our thinking—that is, the way it can make us more alert and more motivated. Before taking the GRE, the admissions exam for graduate school, one group of students was given the following message to read: “People think that feeling anxious while taking a standardized test will make them do poorly on the test. However, recent research suggests that arousal doesn’t hurt performance on these tests and can even help performance. People who feel anxious during a test might actually do better. This means that you shouldn’t feel concerned if you do feel anxious while taking today’s GRE test. If you find yourself feeling anxious, simply remind yourself that your arousal could be helping you do well.” A second group received no such message before taking the exam. Three months later, when the students’ GRE scores were released, the students who had been encouraged to reappraise their feelings of stress scored an average of 65 points higher.

Jeremy P. Jamieson did a study that showed when people read a paragraph about the fact that stress actually allows them to perform better, they performed fifty points better on a practice GRE [graduate school entrance exam]. But the really cool part of the study is that two months later when they took the real GRE, they performed seventy points better than their peers who were not told, as they approached the exam, that stress could be helping them. Simply changing the mind-set around stress can impact performance.

GRE是什么?GRE的考试内容是什么?
GRE,全称Graduate Record Examination,中文名称为美国研究生入学考试,适用于除法律与商业外的各专业,由美国教育考试服务处主办。
GRE是世界各地大学各类研究生院要求申请者所必须具备的一个考试成绩,也是教授对申请者是否授予奖学金所依据的最重要的标准。
GRE是极具公平性的一门考试,对全球考生都是一视同仁的,无所谓考生来自哪里,只要坐在 GRE考场上,你只是一名考生。
要申请美国研究生学历的同学都要准备托福成绩和这个GRE成绩,那么,GRE的考试内容是什么呢?要考察的是什么呢?
GRE考试不同于普通的雅思托福或其他语言类考试。在 GRE 的考试中,词汇量的要求非常大,需要10000-12000的词汇量。但是,英语只是语言载体,除了填空以外,其他部分的考核重心是在逻辑思维能力上。
在备考过程中,应该更注重所考核的分析思维能力,不需要对英语的成语,俚语或者语法方面花费过多精力。
GRE 要考察考生在限时、高压环境下的对学术语言及学术思维的理解能力。因此,GRE考试时,答题的节奏把握非常重要,考生需要着重训练对时间管理和分配。
GRE考试分两种:
一般能力测验(General test)
专业测验(Subject Test)
某些学校的某些专业可能会觉得general test的成绩没办法证明学生的能力,这就会要求学生提供Subject Test的成绩了,比如cs sub(计算机科学)、ee sub(电子工程)等。
对于大部分申请到美国读研究生的学生来说,有General test的成绩就够了。

FUNDAMENTAL: Si te fijas en el ejemplo anterior, la palabra castellana y la inglesa «solamente» tienen en común las primeras letras de su escritura, es decir «gre», pero esto nos resultará más que suficiente para crear una relación efectiva entre ambas. No busques palabras sustitutivas perfectas porque no existen, y si pierdes mucho tiempo buscándolas, sentirás dificultad donde realmente no la hay. Así pues, busca solamente pequeños indicios y refuérzalos en tu mente. Evitarás el principal error de los que empiezan a asociar: Demorar excesivamente el trabajo buscando «perfecciones». Dijimos

This regular commute from the GRE prep course to the weight room eventually jarred me into clarity: The teacher was not making us stronger. She was giving us form and technique so we’d know precisely how to carry the weight of the test. It revealed the bait and switch at the heart of standardized tests—the exact thing that made them unfair: She was teaching test-taking form for standardized exams that purportedly measured intellectual strength. My classmates and I would get higher scores—two hundred points, as promised—than poorer students, who might be equivalent in intellectual strength but did not have the resources or, in some cases, even the awareness to acquire better form through high-priced prep courses. Because of the way the human mind works—the so-called “attribution effect,” which drives us to take personal credit for any success—those of us who prepped for the test would score higher and then walk into better opportunities thinking it was all about us: that we were better and smarter than the rest and we even had inarguable, quantifiable proof. Look at our scores! Admissions counselors and professors would assume we were better qualified and admit us to their graduate schools (while also boosting their institutional rankings). And because we’re talking about featureless, objective numbers, no one would ever think that racism could have played a role.

No, I suppose I never did,” he admitted. “Depression is funny that way, I guess. It saps your strength. No matter how much you want something, it’s just easier to do . . . nothing.
