Taken from Test-Taking Strategies: The questions in the practice test in this book illustrate the types of multiple-choice questions in the test. When you take the test, you will mark your answers on a separate machine-scorable answer sheet. Total testing time is two hours and fifty minutes; there are no separately timed sections. Following are some general test-taking strategies you may want to consider.
* Read the test directions carefully, and work as rapidly as you can without being careless. For each question, choose the best answer from the available options.
* All questions are of equal value; do not waste time pondering individual questions you find extremely difficult or unfamiliar.
* You may want to work through the test quite rapidly, first answering only the questions about which you feel confident, then going back and answering questions that require more thought, and concluding with the most difficult questions if there is time.
* If you decide to change an answer, make sure you completely erase it and fill in the oval corresponding to your desired answer.
* Questions for which you mark no answer or more than one answer are not counted in scoring.
* As a correction for haphazard guessing, onefourth of the number of questions you answer incorrectly is subtracted from the number of questions you answer correctly. It is improbable that mere guessing will improve your score significantly; it may even lower your score. If, however, you are not certain of the correct answer but have some knowledge of the question and are able to eliminate one or more of the answer choices, your chance of getting the right answer is improved, and it may be to your advantage to answer the question.
* Record all answers on your answer sheet. Answers recorded in your test book will not be counted.
* Do not wait until the last five minutes of a testing session to record answers on your answer sheet.

GRE Subject Test questions are designed to measure skills and knowledge gained over a long period of time. Although you might increase your scores to some extent through preparation a few weeks or months before you take the test, last minute cramming is unlikely to be of further help.

Taken from Purpose of the GRE Subject Tests: The GRE Subject Tests are designed to help graduate school admission committees and fellowship sponsors assess the qualifications of applicants in specific fields of study. The tests also provide you with an assessment of your own qualifications.
Scores on the tests are intended to indicate knowledge of the subject matter emphasized in many undergraduate programs as preparation for graduate study.
Because past achievement is usually a good indicator of future performance, the scores are helpful in predicting success in graduate study. Because the tests are standardized, the test scores permit comparison of students from different institutions with different undergraduate programs. For some Subject Tests, subscores are provided in addition to the total score; these subscores indicate the strengths and weaknesses of your preparation, and they may help you plan future studies.
The GRE Board recommends that scores on the Subject Tests be considered in conjunction with other relevant information about applicants. Because numerous factors influence success in graduate school, reliance on a single measure to predict success is not advisable.
Other indicators of competence typically include undergraduate transcripts showing courses taken and grades earned, letters of recommendation, and GRE General Test scores. For information about the appropriate use of GRE scores, write to GRE Program, Educational Testing Service, Mail Stop 57-L, Princeton, NJ 08541, or visit our Web site at www.gre.org/codelst.html.

Frequently Asked Questions; BOSCH Spark Plug Function - General.pdf

Taken from Why do we need to change spark plugs?: During operation, the spark plug is subjected to both wear and to fouling and should be replaced at regular intervals. In the course of its service life, the spark plug undergoes changes that increase the required ignition voltage. When the required voltage reaches a level that can no longer be compensated for by the voltage reserve, the result is misfiring. These changes can be caused by:
Electrode wear
Engine wear
Abnormal operating conditions (pre-ignition, detonation, high oil consumption)
Independent tests have shown that installing premium spark plugs such as Bosch’s Platinum+4 improves fuel mileage by as much as 4.8% over original equipment plugs. Platinum+4 uses racetested technology including multiple electrode paths and large amounts of platinum to generate strong, consistent sparks.
