Hi guys. I am planning to take my GRE in October and I'm genuinely worried about verbal. And I mean, it's funny because I've always been good at English and sucked at math, so it should be quant I should be worrying about the most, but the thing about quant is that I can improve with practice, all it requires is practice. But TC and SE are already a bit tricky to understand, and I'm a bit worried about not being able to retrieve vocab that long-term. I'm sorry for the anxiety dump lol, but I don't want to bombard myself with a lot of resources.

I am currently using GregMat's list and would probably resort to Magoosh vocab. However, I'm not sure. Last time I started prepping for the GRE but stopped because of my ongoing undergrad degree back then, and I ended up with a lot of resources: Manhattan, GregMat, Magoosh, and Princeton, which made me end up burnt out.

I get the recall-vocab-everyday thing, but I am still worried since I'm bad at cramming. Any sort of advice, tip, insight, anything would help.

TIA!!

Hi guys! For those who have applied to the MBA 2026 program, have there been any updates so far? My inbox has been sitting still since LGAT :3

Hi guys. I have an undergrad degree in applied psychology and am looking to apply to grad programs, with a few in mind, one of which is i/o psych. As an international student, I am aiming to attend universities in the US.

It would be great if you guys could share your insights and perspective towards the future of i/o and its job prospects.

TIA!

hi. This one's for the older folks, ones in their late 20s, 30s and so on.

I'm 22 (f), recently graduated from a public university, and it was one hell of an experience alright. Har cheez rigged, har cheez mein ulte kaam and student body of my department was weak asf, nobody not even a single person had the balls to gather up and speak like one entity.

Kheir, i lost my father at the age of 20, and considering everything and the zero help with zero references, mein ahista ahista figure out karna shoro kiya hai keh that i'll have to build on my own, and i get it honestly masla vo nahi hai. It's just that i dont like the system, and i don't want to be a part of it. My brother, who is a part of it, has also given me his share of warning. I understand there will be politics and corruption everywhere, liken i can never imagine myself jee hazori karte hoye of the people in government jo khud kisi ke paltu hain.

Yes, i sometimes think about the 'power' (so called) and the benefits and the stability and all, aur obviously so called izzat. But at the same time so many people didn't even get allocated this year, interview pass karne ke bawojood? However, with all that being said, whenever i think of myself as being a bureaucrat, of being a part of something utterly and entirely unjust, i feel like I'll be killing apni akhrat aur apni conscience. But then again, internship hunt let alone a job hunt has been very disappointing, and i am in a position where i want to move and not pause.

Would love to hear your 2 cents about css attempt

TIA!!!

hiyo! saw a really cool post in this one community asking for their bad experiences with the brands and the ones they would never recommend. Since, nintendo is highly concerned with the haircuts only, Drop your recommendations for salons, barbers, and hairstylists. Also share any places you’d avoid!

Hi guys,

I wanted some suggestions regarding the following types of books. there are so many options out there that I need a good starting point.

1. Pakistani politics, preferably something that covers the country's history in an unbiased manner, from its inception to the present day. I’m looking to better understand the political and constitutional structure. Currently, I watch documentaries and read articles from time to time, but they tend to focus on specific topics. I’m hoping to find something that presents events in a chronological and connected way.

2. Quran tafsir in english, preferably by an authentic, well-known scholar, as many sources can be misleading.

TIA!!

 

hi guys. It'd be great if someone here who has an investment and mutual funds literacy and understanding can help me out? I AM SO LOST (resorting to reddit after going through multiple blogs and videos - my next step is to read a book on investment atp which i will tho you never know)

but for now a random redditor with a good understanding would be crazy lot of helpful

TIA!!

hi and eid mubarak to everyone celebrating! Where can i buy authentic skin 1004 products in pakistan as they don't personally ship here?

TIA!

genuine question btw. Because despite having hope and tawakkul, i end up asking myself the very question on a bad day. So i'm kinda curious atp

I'm a final-year undergrad graduating in June. Right now I'm deep in my thesis, which honestly has been my first real taste of what research actually feels like, and I want more of it.

My goal is to build a solid research background before applying for a Master's or PhD. Ideally I'd love to get published at some point too. But here's the thing that keeps messing with my head:

I've talked to multiple professors, local ones, international ones, across different fields, and almost all of them said the same thing: undergrad research just doesn't hit that hard on grad applications. Like, they didn't say it's useless, but the general vibe was don't expect it to carry you. At the same time, none of them said it's impossible to get published from undergrad either. So it's this weird in-between space.

Which brings me to CCIR. I got invited for an interview, and on paper it looks great, Cambridge name, research exposure, faculty access. But I've been reading reviews and they're... mixed. So before I commit (especially if there's a cost involved), I want real opinions.

 

My actual questions:

 

·         Do grad admissions committees actually notice CCIR, or does it just look like a fancy program anyone can pay into?

·         Can it realistically help me get published, even as an undergrad?

·         Is the research experience genuinely useful, or more of a confidence boost?

·         Worth the money?

 

I already have the interview, so I'm not asking if I should apply ; I'm asking if I should say yes if I get in. Would love to hear from people who've done it, people who skipped it, or anyone in academia who's seen these things on applications.

 

What would you actually do in my position?

has there ever been a point in being the good kid? or a sibling? never bunked yeh soch ker keh amma abba would be disappointed knowing they sent their kid to study aur yeh soch ker keh itni fees derahe hain, i can't do this. I will graduate soon, in less than a year aur socha tha i'll hangout and stuff. But here i am, even if i want to do it mere se nahi hopata.

I am not saying my family is bad people, i do normal stuff i hangout and stuff but its just whenever i try to protest they're like we let you go everywhere. Idek why im ranting atp mayybe because i feel horribly stuck and idk, paused (?) in life. Isaw special kids today SOOOOO full of life and honestly cutie log yar. Allah humesha unko aise hi rakhe. And i keep reminding myself of things im grateful of, things i got without even asking. I guess the grind never stops. Kheir you may feel like im ranting BS, you can ignore it without being akhand chutiya about it

Phr i randomly got reminded of my 10-12 saal porani dost, the only persn i my life who i thought id be endgame with. My fault tho, i outgrown her or sm shit. I also, gang, don't like how my father's death grief could surface whenever the fuck it wants to. like wdym its been more than 2 years, aur ab achanak se i get sentimental over watching dads with their daughters? peechle 2 saalo mein toh aisa nahi hua. Aur kya mtlb I keep randomly thinking man is going to show up one day? Fuck this shit.

I am youngest kid, with huge age differences like minimum age difference is of 9 years toh mtlb its less of siblings more of humara bacha wala scene, jokeh kafi hd tak meri samjh se bahir hai. 1 maa baap kafi hain i mean, act like sibling please ily but please.

I feel like a privileged kid crying dying while having an ipad in its hands lol but free will exists so, yeah.

mujhai pta hai mere masle kuch nahi hain, aur logo ke bht bht masle hain and i respect that and i hope the best for everyone (truly, no fabrication) but life and humans are two very complex and unfair things. I haven't listed one logical problem here of mine (jokeh currently chl rahe hain) liken abhi mood nahi horaha. Toh mein bhi dua karti houn ap bhi karo keh meri train chal parey

bohat shukeria, there is no tldr, ap sab khush raho abad raho

to be continued because i will be

back.
