for GRE

I Got Only  20% in Vocab

During my B.E. studies at BITS Pilani, I needed to prepare for the GRE exam to go to USA for higher studies.

I had realized myself and others had also told me that vocab is difficult, but I told myself, "I am different. I am special. I'll be able to score at least 70% to 80% if I work hard for one year".

Even though I am pretty smart and studied hard, made sacrifices, I got only 20% in verbal on my GRE exam.

I felt frustration and even humiliation and I honestly almost gave up the dream of going to USA for higher education.

I myself got only 20% in verbal,
though I got 97% in quantitative

That's when I made it my mission that if ever I succeed and get a chance, I will develop something, so students can learn better and faster without having to go through the pain and frustration that I had to face.

Finally I did become good at English and did go to USA and worked there for almost 7 years. I worked at many companies including the world famous Intel Corp.

I co-authored a bestselling book on computers published by MacMillan. While working at Intel, I even flew in a small 4-seater airplane for a business meeting from Silicon Valley in California to Oregon and back.

Finally, now, you can benefit from the newest version of our mind machine: Super IQ 7.

Important Warning
GRE Vocab "Tricks"
Non-Native Speakers

It may surprise you that GRE tends to test you for meanings that are not the most common meanings of words.

For example, here are some words and the meanings you need to know (taken from the course). I have also added the meaning that will not lead to correct answer:

milk = extract
USE = the directors milked the company of several million dollars
(not the milk you drink)

stole = long scarf
USE = a mink stole
(not a form of steal)

riddle = to make many holes in, permeate
USE = the anti-aircraft guns riddled the plane's wings with bullets
(not a puzzle)

root = to dig
USE = she rooted through the papers on her desk
(not root of a tree)

kite = bad check
USE = *
(not a kite that people fly)

rifle = search through and steal
USE = the safe had been rifled and the diamonds were gone
(not the rifle used for firing bullets)

ejaculate = exclaim
USE = You've got my umbrella! he ejaculated
(not sex related ejaculation)

In My Vocab System, You Only Get
"Short Memorable Sentence Fragments"

You don't get 3 or 5 or 10 meanings and sentences that are impossible to remember (a dictionary is better if you want to do PhD on some aspects of words).

I give you a short and memorable sentence fragments, so you can remember faster and better.

Here are some examples from the course:

euphoria = elation, feeling of well-being or happiness
USE = in a state of euphoria

evade = to avoid
USE = don't evade taxes

excerpt = selection from a book, extract
USE = excerpt of a new book

illicit = unlawful, illegal
USE = illicit liquor

immense = huge
USE = at immense cost

de facto = actual
USE = de facto standard

draconian = harsh
USE = draconian laws

prodigy = a person with extraordinary ability or talent
USE = a child prodigy

eke = to add to, supplement
USE = to eke out a living

Herculean = powerful, large
USE = a Herculean task

pyrrhic = a battle won with unacceptable losses
USE = a pyrrhic victory

The Traditional Methods of Memorizing Vocab Do Not Work Well

Once students try to memorize vocab for at least a month, most quickly discover a strange fact about vocab: Though it is relatively easy to learn and memorize new word lists, it is extremely difficult to remember them after a few days or weeks.

The traditional vocab methods used by various books, guides, and coaching institutes for vocabulary building include wordlists, flash cards, SMSs, quizzes, games, etc. And, they don't work well.

• With wordlists you get from institutions or books, you have to repeatedly read and write and even speak aloud the words to memorize them. This is a boring and tedious process and takes many many repetitions, which means there is not enough time to memorize all necessary the words.
• Flash cards have the same problem.
• SMSs, though high-tech, are totally worthless because you can only see only few words at a time and can't revise them (remember "revision is the mother of memory").
• Quizzes and games seems to be interesting way, but are a total waste of time because they can't cover the needed more than 4,000 words. Quizzes are games are good if you want to memorize only a few hundred words.

Even Famous Books
Continue to Teach These Methods
that Don't Work

Even the authors of vocabulary books think their job is to give you the best collection of words. What they fail to realize is that any big dictionary contains the best collection words, but the real job here is to put about 4,000 to 4,500 important words into your long-term memory in a practical easy way so you can get high score.

So What It Means to You Is ...

Only a small number of people with special natural ability and skill can memorize using the old method. That is why it falls flat.

Where the mind machine helps is that you memorize in a new way that makes it easy for almost anybody to memorize the vocab 3 to 7 times faster.

Here is another reason why mind machines are so great: It is much more enjoyable to learn with the mind machine because you just relax and listen to the words again and again, automatically memorizing them effortlessly.

You can enjoy because you can sit down and relax and recharge your energy while you learn, whereas he traditional method makes study tedious and hard and only those who either have natural ability or computer-like discipline can succeed. Whereas with mind machine, anyone can sit back and simply relax, listen and learn vocab.

But, It's Not Your Fault

It is not your fault for 2 reasons:

• It is the nature of our mind, which is simply not capable of remembering many uncommon and odd words just by reading word lists a few times and you know there is not a lot of time to revise many many many times.
• Most so-called experts don't know: Even the best coaching classes only give many word lists but fail to put those word lists in the long-term memory of your mind because they do not specialize in mind power and mind technologies.

The Worst Mistake
Many Students Make

Many students tend to postpone memorizing vocab because it is hard. They just focus on all others things.

This is the worst mistake anyone can make.

So, what you should do is start vocab preparation if you have not already started, whether or not you decide to get my Vocab Builder Mind Machine.

"I am using your mind machine ... is very helpful in learning words and ... permanently retain in memory."

How to Decide Whether or Not You Should Join Coaching and Get Mind Machine Vocab System

How the Mind Machine Works

It "puts you in learning states" by changing your brainwaves and "changes your beliefs" by programming your subconscious mind.

Scientists have been able to isolate brainwaves of geniuses, monks and yogis and then were able to use certain technology (which we'll discuss in a second) that allows anybody--no matter how good you already are--to be able to use this technology and have your brainwaves assume the same patterns of such geniuses, so it makes learning easy because you are in a highly advanced state where you learn quickly, retain better, and best of all for you, using this technology needs no extra hard work or study time.

This new technology is called Mind Machine.

When you use this system, you benefit from many unique/proven/patented mind technologies, which would take a book to explain in details. But fortunately, you don't have to understand the details of the 7 mind technologies to benefit from the mind machine.

Briefly, it works in these ways:

1. Puts You in the "Learning State" by Changing Your Brainwaves to (in just 6 to 10 minutes)

First, it uses various mind technologies to slow down your brain waves quickly to those best for learning, so your body and mind enter a state of deep relaxation we call "learning state".

In this state the brainwaves on the right side and the left side of your brain tend to move up and down together and this is called "hemispheric synchronization" or "integration of left brain and right brain".

This state is best for learning, exams, vocab programs.

Naturally, in the learning state, it is easier to manage your time and also easier not to feel lazy, but feel confident and highly motivated.

2. Programs Your Subconscious Mind to Build Positive & Empowering Beliefs and Overcome Limiting Beliefs

You hear a different story in each ear.

These stories contain a variety of powerful suggestions in such an artful way, that the suggestions remain in indirect and are seemingly part of the stories.

So they go unnoticed, and as a result, most of the empowering messages hidden within the stories bypass the conscious mind completely, entering the unconscious mind.

Our mind tries to understand both the stories, but soon realizes it cannot.

It still tries hard and continues to struggle to understand both the stories and at some point, our brain gives up, and in that moment the brain is not actively thinking (chasing thoughts).

In some sense, it has stopped thinking. Naturally, in this state, you feel tremendously relaxed and comfortable and free from stress. You enter the state of body sleep / mind awake.

This is the most powerful method of belief change because it is totally effortless. It builds empowering beliefs for you, so you can achieve breakthrough success. It works to overcome limiting beliefs that may be causing self-sabotage.

3. "Accelerated Learning" is Whole Brain Learning/Memory

There's a world-wide explosion of advanced techniques for accelerated learning, supercharged remembering, and peak mental performance. The publication of the book Superlearning by Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder made superlearning or accelerated learning techniques popular. These help you use your whole brain (both left brain and right brain) for learning and memory.

The Vocab-Builder Mind Machine (CAT, GMAT, GRE, etc.) uses advanced accelerated learning techniques along with other mind technologies to enable users to effortlessly memorize words 3 to 7 times faster.

I was member of the SALT (Society of Accelerated Learning and Teaching, USA) that is working hard to bring the benefits of accelerated learning to schools in USA. Many programs for schools have been supported by the American federal or state governments. (It is really unfortunate that in India, NCERT, good private schools and other important institutions are not open-minded enough to bring these revolutionary discoveries from around the world to our schools. My hope is that the situation will change in the next 10 years as India gets richer and parents start learning about these advances and start demanding from good private schools).

The book Superlearning reports: The Washington State Department of Health and Social Services reported that by using Superlearning techniques, Indochinese refugees learned English five times faster. At Iowa State University students learned Spanish seven times faster. And from Australia's Woden TAFE College, John Wade revealed, "I have used the Superlearning technology with adult migrants learning English. The results from controlled experiment ... show that long term memory retention increased sixfold."
