Microsoft, Washington state partner to offer free IT courses

by Tom Sowa, The Spokesman-Review

Microsoft Corp. has expanded its online technology training program so that people can take courses for free through more than 380 public libraries. The new education partnership between one of the Northwest’s major tech companies and Washington state was announced Wednesday. During a media event at Spokane’s downtown library, Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman said the partnership with Microsoft will make 250 online courses available and allow participants to take those courses at their own pace.

Re: online study partner

 Post subject: online study partner  Posted: Fri May 31, 2013 5:36 am I have been studying the GMAT for a while now, have 2 more months now. am looking for someone who is able to commit at least 6 hours a day to studying and would like to discuss/review difficult problems together via Skype or Google Hangout.

My former study partner and I reviewed together every night for the past several week. It was SUPER effective. We both made significant gains during this time. He scored 710 but planning to restart it after november.

If you are SERIOUS about getting a high score and is willing to put in at least 5hours a day, please e-mail me NOW at r_midha@yahoo.in with your current score, time zone, and number of hours dedicated to studying per day. I am sure that we will be able to crack 700 together!

I see you very determined and prepared, so I would like your help on my preparation.
I am planning to dedicate my next 6months to prepare the GMAT and to take at least a 640 score using the Complete Prep Set. I would appreciate your advise on how to distribute my time on each sections over the first weeks.

I am not a native speaker but with solid fundamental of English language as I attended an American University although I am preparing also IELTS. In addition, I am not stellar in the type of Math covered on the test. In fact, I am currently working on strengthen the area by understanding firstly the concept in my native language.

Any other advise to achieve my target score is more than welcome.

Thanks
