What is the process for Higher studies in abroad ?

IELTS is mainly the British version of this test. Because of this, some of the questions in this test may include British English, which differs slightly from American English. IELTS is separated into four different sections – reading, listening, speaking and writing.

IELTS

Reading

The reading section is 60 minutes long and requires you to answer 40 different questions about various texts that may come from magazines, academic journals, newspapers or novels.

Listening

The listening portion is shorter than the TOEFL listening section at 30 minutes long, yet still requires you to listen to lectures or conversations and answer questions about what you just heard. You may have to be able to understand British, Australian or Canadian accents in addition to American.

Speaking

The speaking portion differs greatly from the TOEFL speaking section since you will complete it in front of a real person, and will last approximately 11-14 minutes. This portion is a lot more conversational, and may be more intimidating than speaking into a microphone.

Writing

This section of the IELTS accepts British spellings of English words, which can be beneficial to those who are more comfortable with British English. This section is 60 minutes long and requires you to write on two different topics at a length of 150-250 words.

In the actual TOEFL iB T® test, you would have 20 minutes to read the passageand answer the questions. Test takers with disabilities can request a time extension.

Meteorite Impact and Dinosaur Extinction

There is increasing evidence that the impacts of meteorites have had important effects on Earth,particularly in the field of biological evolution. Such impacts continue to pose a natural hazard tolife on Earth. Twice in the twentieth century, large meteorite objects are known to have collidedwith Earth.

5If an impact is large enough, it can disturb the environment of the entire Earth and cause anecological catastrophe. The best-documented such impact took place 65 million years ago at theend of the Cretaceous period of geological history. This break in Earth’s history is marked by amass extinction, when as many as half the species on the planet10 became extinct. While there are a dozen or more mass extinctions in the geological record,the Cretaceous mass extinction has always intrigued paleontologists because it marks the endof the age of the dinosaurs. For tens of millions of years, those great creatures had flourished.Then, suddenly, they disappeared.

15 The body that impacted Earth at the end of the Cretaceous period was a meteorite with a massof more than a trillion tons and a diameter of at least 10 kilometers. Scientists first identifiedthis impact in 1980 from the worldwide layer of sediment deposited from the dust cloud thatenveloped the planet after the impact. This sediment layer is enriched in the rare metal iridiumand other elements that are relatively abundant in a meteorite but

20 very rare in the crust of Earth. Even diluted by the terrestrial material excavated from the crater,this component of meteorites is easily identified. By 1990 geologists had located the impact siteitself in the Yucatán region of Mexico. The crater, now deeply buried in sediment, wasoriginally about 200 kilometers in diameter.

25 This impact released an enormous amount of energy, excavating a crater about twice as large

as the lunar crater Tycho. The explosion lifted about 100 trillion tons of dust into theatmosphere, as can be determined by measuring the thickness of the sediment layer formed

when this dust settled to the surface. Such a quantity of material would have blocked thesunlight completely from reaching the surface, plunging Earth into a period

30of cold and darkness that lasted at least several months. The explosion is also calculated tohave produced vast quantities of nitric acid and melted rock that sprayed out over much ofEarth, starting widespread fires that must have consumed most terrestrial forests andgrassland. Presumably, those environmental disasters could have been responsible for themass extinction, including the death of the dinosaurs.

35 Several other mass extinctions in the geological record have been tentatively identified withlarge impacts, but none is so dramatic as the Cretaceous event. But even without such

specific documentation, it is clear that impacts of this size do occur and that their resultscan be catastrophic. What is a catastrophe for one group of living things, however,

40may create opportunities for another group. Following each mass extinction, there is asudden evolutionary burst as new species develop to fill the ecological niches opened bythe event.

Impacts by meteorites represent one mechanism that could cause global catastrophes and45seriously influence the evolution of life all over the planet. According to some estimates,

the majority of all extinctions of species may be due to such impacts. Such a perspectivefundamentally changes our view of biological evolution. The standard criterion for thesurvival of a species is its success in competing with other species and adapting to slowlychanging environments. Yet an equally important criterion is the ability of a species to

50survive random global ecological catastrophes due to impacts.

Earth is a target in a cosmic shooting gallery, subject to random violent events that wereunsuspected a few decades ago. In 1991 the United States Congress asked NASA toinvestigate the hazard posed today by large impacts on Earth. The group conducting the

55study concluded from a detailed analysis that impacts from meteorites can indeed behazardous. Although there is always some risk that a large impact could occur, carefulstudy shows that this risk is quite small.

TOEFL question

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a standardized test that is an admissions requirement for most Graduate Schools in the United States.Prospective graduate students seeking admission into most fields (except business administration) are required to take the GRE test. It is a computer based test. The current GRE general test is composed of verbal, quantitative and analytical writing sections. Please note that GRE subject tests are no longer offered in Bangladesh.

GRE

The GRE General Test features question types that closely reflect the kind of thinking you'll do in graduate or business school.

•Verbal Reasoning — Measures your ability to analyze and evaluate written material and synthesize information obtained from it, analyze relationships among component parts of sentences and recognize relationships among words and concepts.

What score do I need on the TOEFL to be admitted?

Each college or university sets its own TOEFL/IELTS score requirements, so consult each school’s admissions

requirements. Many schools require an iBT TOEFL score of 80 or a CBT TOEFL score of 213. In Bangladesh, the

internet-based or iBT TOEFL is offered at several institutions. You must enroll for the TOEFL test in advance as

space is limited.

SAT I (Reasoning Test) and SAT II (Subject Test)

These exams are for undergraduate applicants. The SAT I tests general academic ability and educational background. SAT II subject tests are often required for financial aid applicants, specific academic majors, and those applying to highly competitive schools.

How much money do I need to study in the U.S. for one year?

The amount of money you need depends on which school you chose to attend. Tuition for one year can range from $10,000 to $30,000. Some of the most expensive universities cost as much as $40,000 per year. You will also need $6,000-$12,000 to coverliving expenses. Expenses will vary greatly based on where in the U.S. your school is.

When you apply for a student visa, your sponsors must submit financial documentation that demonstratestheir ability to pay fo

the full course of your education, including both tuition and living expenses. Sponsors must have the entire amount needed for the first year of education (tuition and living ex-penses) readily available in liquid assets, such as in bank accounts.For subsequent

years, the sponsor needs to be able to document Income sources from which future tuition and living expenses willcome, such as

wages from a job.

Who can be your financial sponsor

Requirement of a scholarship

Competition for financial aid is intense, especially at the undergraduate level. Nonetheless, in 2009 outstanding Bangladeshi students received more than $900,000 in scholarships and financial aid. Private universities are more likely to offer financial aid for undergraduate study. Often financial aid does not cover the entire cost of tuition and living expense

What is the time to apply for financial aid?

Include your financial aid application in your admission application packet. The deadline for financial aid applications is usually inJanuary or February (if you are applying for a September admission).

How kind job can get while you am studying in the U.S.?

The terms of American student visas (F-1) only allow you to work in an on-campus job or in an internship approved by the university.Typically, these jobs will not pay enough to cover tuition, but can help you meet your living expenses.

How to apply for this loan

1. Set up a student finance online account.

2. Log in and complete the online application.

3. If needed, include details of your household income and get your parents or partner tosupport your application.

4. If needed send in proof of. identity

5. Usually, within 6 weeks you’ll get a loan in the post sign and return it.

If you can’t apply online, use the form finder to get the forms you needed.

In few situations the loan repayments are cancelled like, if the borrower dies and becamedisabled to work. It can also be cancelled after a certain period of time, usually 30 years, or when the borrower reaches a certain age.

If you have a disability like, long-term health condition, mental health condition or any specific

learning difficulty. You can apply for: -

Disable student’s allowances.

Access to learning fund.

Disable students

Study in the U.S. without taking TOEFL

Almost all American universities require international students to take an internationally recognized test of English language. TOEFL is the most broadly recognized test in the United States. Some schools may accept IELTS scores, but be sure to check the admission requirements of each university to which you plan to apply.

Where can I study

There are so many options available to go and study. It also depends on what subject you are going to study and how much money you are able to spend.

USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia are most popular choices.

There are also countries like Germany, Finland and Norway where students get quality international degree.

How can I process my application?

Students should first select their subject they want to study. Then, select which University you want to go. Carry out all the research on what university to go Ask for support from experienced individuals if you are confused

How to get Visa?

Visit your chosen country’s relevant websites, Embassy or visa information centres near you. 

Gather all the information on what documents you require Avoid giving any false documents and information Get help from individuals or Agents like ‘Go Beyond’ if you are 

confused

I don’t have enough financial backup, what should I do?

Getting a full scholarship would be a great idea. Students with strong education background and determination can apply for scholarships.

Prepare yourself for GRE/GMAT, research and apply for scholarship. If you cant get scholarship you might want to try countries where 

education is free. Norway, Finland and Germany would be best choice.

However, Students will have to bear their living expenses in most cases. 

Can I earn money and pay Tuition fee?

we would jut say No. If you are a genuine student and want to study in highly expensive good institution, you should be prepared to have backup from someone back home.

Yes it is possible to earn living expenses through working part time during term time and full time during holidays. 

But, It would be really hard for anyone to keep good results while working too much to earn money.

How to Score good Marks During your Education Abroad

#1 Create A Time Table

This is by far the most important thing to do in order to organize your studying antics. You should create a time table keeping in mind the total number of hours you’re expecting to spend in the lecture halls, university campus, and out with friends. 

#2  Arrange Your Room

How to Score good Marks During your Education Abroad

You will not be able to concentrate on your studies if you live in a place that is cluttered and disorganized. You should keep your belongings well organized in the room. The boxes and suitcases that you do not intend to use often should not take up the major area within the students room. 

How to Score good Marks During your Education Abroad

#3 Understand Instead of Mugging up

When you learn the portions or sit down to study, you should make sure that you understand what you’re reading. You should not mug up portions just because it seem important from an exam point of view. If you mug up portions, you might not be able to recollect the important points if the examiner twists the questions or provide you with scenario-based queries. 

How to Score good Marks During your Education Abroad

Using mnemonics is also a fantastic way to learn your portions easily. This will be of amazing help especially on the days before your assessments and exams. Split down the complex portions in your syllabus in such a way that you can relate to it easily.

#4 Use Mnemonics
