I used those links to practice, atleast, two months to my exam.
Had an overall score of 7(still doubt it was my score, should have scored higher).

Please, go through those links, learn, and more importantly, practice & practice with time.
All the best.

Don't go for the Phd Interview without having funding, most of the Phd programs gives full funding because its very expensive and the VO really sure you won't afford it by yourself.. Wait for the school to give you funding and if not,look for another schools

There are major mistakes that can ruin your interview even if you get admitted into Harvard.

Lack of confidence...smiling brings confidence.
I was nervous too..but I smiled from the beginning of the process till the end..that boosted my confidence.

Not looking into the consular's face.

Speaking in an inaudible tone

Not answering the exact questions asked

Other factors are based on the individual's specific case.

FILL YOUR DS160 YOURSELF
FILL YOUR DS160 YOURSELF
DON'T LIE IN THE FORM...BE SINCERE
Focus on your interview... Don't listen to bloody stories
Don't let the guys at the gate disturb u at all..No matter what they say, don't listen to them.
Take all the necessary things you need

@zeezaa sorry for the late reply, I have been trying to look for ways to send you the materials but for one reason or the other I am unable to send them through email. However, I just created a whatsapp group for that purpose so if you are still interested send a msg with the subject Exam materials to 07060706212.
