 Exam pattern for GRE
The GRE is a generalised test that isn’t related to any particular discipline or field. It has been designing to evaluate skills that you’ve already picked up over the years. This allows a wide range of universities to use it to benchmark applicants from diverse backgrounds applying to a big mix of degrees.
If you were to look at the overall GRE exam pattern, it has 3 sections: Analytical Writing, Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning.

Analytical Writing


This section tests you ability to analyse facts, dissect arguments, judge the presented evidence and put forth your views in the most convincing and structured manner. 

Verbal Reasoning


This section checks your capacity to understand the content author’s perspectives and intentions, prioritise the points made, and connect the dots across various ideas presented, even if they may not necessarily be documented in a coherent manner. This is the tricky section for non-native English speakers. 

Quantitative Reasoning


This is where you comfort level with numbers and quantitative data is tested. You’ll have to understand the problem and use models and mathematical formulas (from geometry, algebra, arithmentic) to solve them. The good news is that you will have access to a calculator. So no complex mental arithmetic to be done.

What is moment of inertia?

Hi all, welcome to my blog. Today lets discuss about the topic moment of inertia.

Why is the fat boy is slow? Because of his mass right? His mass is opposing his speed, thin guy has also a mass but th opposition is very low. In the same way inertia is an opposing virtual force. Now lets check the word moment, check the fishing rod, a force is applied at both the ends, and the rod bends. This is called moment, the turning force. Both force are in downward direction and the rod bends. I think the idea is clear, Moment of inertia means resistance to the turning force. Moment of inertia may change according to selection of forces, if ...
