Our lessons have been developed by experienced test specialists. Each one of our study units is designed to help you improve your understanding of English and your test confidence.

Q4. How are the courses offered by Council For American Education different from other courses?

A4. The bottom line difference is that our students improve much more than students enrolled in courses offered by other institutes. Some courses require you to memorize dozens of math theorems and thousands of words. In short, these courses get you to learn every little fact that could possibly show up on a standardized test without providing any focus. Also, just by practicing and reviewing a few past papers is not sufficient., Council For American Education, on the other hand knows how busy you are. We realize that in two to three months there is simply no way you could master every word and every theorem that could possibly show up in the standardized tests mentioned above. So, instead, we have focused on the most important concepts, theorems etc. that appear most frequently in these tests. This information is surprisingly limited. These key concepts can be mastered in a month or two.

Q5. What is a Computerized Test?

A5. There are two different kinds of computerized tests: linear and adaptive. A linear computerized test is a full-length test (scored in the same way as a paper test) in which the computer selects different questions for each test taker without consideration of ability level of the test taker. A linear test consists of a full range of test questions-from easiest to most difficult. Instead of selecting a full range of test questions, a computer-adaptive test (CAT) is one in which the computer selects the range of questions that is appropriate for the test taker's ability level. Because of this process, CATs are typically shorter in length than full-length paper tests.




Q6. Do Students need to be Computer Literate to take a Test on Computer?

A6. No, individuals can take the test even if they have no previous computer experience or "only minimal experience. But students are strongly encouraged to enroll in the computer aided preparation courses offered by Council For American Education to familiarize themselves with the test format and techniques. Test takers can retake the GMAT the next month following the initial exam.
