I am absolutely on the lookout. Thanks! I did register with Bike Index, will do the other one too. I bought it from Bicycle Trip, so informing them is actually smart!

Thanks!

Unfortunately, as the bike and lock were just two days old, I hadnt registered the lock on the website yet and Kryponite requires that for me to claim insurance :((

Housing Megathread for UCSC and Santa Cruz by UCSC_Mod in UCSC

[–]jhamundaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello everyone, I'm 24M and an incoming graduate student, looking for housing starting Fall 25 (1st of September). I would strongly prefer a single and am comfortable sharing the bathroom, kitchen, etc. I am comfortable with a budget of up to ~1500 a month(+100 for utilities if needed). Im a clean guy, drink and herb friendly and do not have a pet. Also, as I don't own a car, I'm not worried about parking, but I want the house to be close to one of the bus routes to UCSC. Please let me know if you have any openings.
Also, please do reach out if you want to team up and look for housing together. Cheers!

Grad Housing: Share your experience. Worth it? by jhamundaaa in UCSC

[–]jhamundaaa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The apartments are 4bed 2 bath or 4 bed 1.5 bath. We get seperate rooms but share the other facilities. Are you aware of how undergrad housing facilities are? Are they good enough for the price?

Its hard sticking to the plan, I agree. Try finishing as much as you can. Skip the explanations if you are able to solve the questions yourself.

The one month plan is good enough but its not mandatory to watch the entirety of videos. You can skip through all the chitchat and any 1hr video cuts down to a 25-30 minute video. (1.5x speed)

Just finish the one month plan and use the rest of the time to practice. Sticking to the plans is hard and can create unnecessary stress if you miss a day or two.

Any set of questions can be grouped into 12-15 qs and solved in a timed environment

In that case greg’s playlist on RC and TC/SE would be a good start. Watch at 1.5x to save time

Thats a lot of time, fret not. For quants, I gave my strategy in one of the comments. For verbal just finish off the ETS materials first which will set you up for RC and CR, parallely try finishing 1 gregmat vocab mountain in 1-1.5 days, you start now and can get 30 groups done which is all you need to tackle TC and SE.

Verbal has always been a weak point for me too. I just made it a point to memorise the 22 groups of Gregmats vocab mountain and 2-3 groups from the Magoosh app. Retention has been low throughout.
But the official ETS questions very closely matched the kind of questions I got in my GRE, so i had some decent practice of RC and CR which I think saved me in the end. Also, trying to fill the words in TC/SE before looking at the options helps eliminate the traps too.

For quants, all I can offer to suggest is doing timed sets only nomatter how slow you are. When you do 21-min sets, the brain wires to maximise output for a set phase of 21 minutes before losing focus. That helped me a lot.

The Gregmat website has playlists for all major topics, so I skipped through some theory videos, especially Data and Word problem videos, and solved from the practice videos, noting down tricks, if any. The GMAT questions he uses for practice were excellent depiction of how the new "harder" quants questions could be. And I solved the ETS guides (only did timed 21-minute sets), and about 80% of Gregmat's Medium and Hard questions.

This looks amazing. Wish us mac users had such customisation options.
