Please,I want to ask if anyone knows of another center in Port Harcourt apart from BY Mafit? if yes can you share their Contact/Address?

BY MAFIT is not a center.

Write another one over there. Pay yourself and resubmit it to your school.

Apparently, your agent used a dud creditcard to pay and ETS on recognizing it, cancelled the result (which they have powers to) or did you use a mercenary to write the test? Don't be offended by my question.

What are the consequences of both?

hi guys please i am in a dilemma and wanted to know if there is anyone who has been in my situation and how they were able to resolve it. So i registered for the GRE exam with an agent about 6months ago and i am currently in a university in the US but i just received an email from the ETS saying my score has been cancelled. i don't understand why they chose 6 months after the exam to cancel it or why, and i don't know how it will affect my studies please has any one had similar experience?

I think you should take a legal action against them, but try to reach them first to find out why your score was cancelled,
and please what is the name of the agency so that others will not fall prey

thanks for that clarification.
my issue is that i would like to sit for the exam Nov 30 or Dec 1, but the dates BY Mafit is reporting feasible are Nov 22 or Dec 29.
and i want to apply for Fall 2018, I'm kinda of stressed and restless right now because im not fully prepared.
Don't know if i should go ahead and write Nov 22. your candid advice is needed.

Mercenary is a big big deal.

Bad agent, is not your fault but it is not ETS' business as well.

You may need to retake that GRE yourself for bad agent/fraudulent credit card.

The other one? Pass my power. May the forces be with you sister.

Legal action against who? Read the terms of your GRE well if you are referring to ETS. If the agent, that is a different kettle of fish.

But I bet people know using unregistered agents is a toss up between risky and rewarding.

The last part (Machinery) is the one that issa huge deal.

If you check ETS' available dates for GRE in PH or Lagos I bet you may not see Dec 1 available. I think that date quickly filled up as far back as September. I recommend you took the test on Dec 29th to give you more time to prepare.

There is no point rushing to get a bad score. A lot of other good schools are still available in January and with the right score/profile you could be competitive.

Someone applied April or May for a PhD in a top 100 school and he was fully-funded less than a month after. His profile was too good for the school to turn down.

Well, as scholastica16 has said. It'll be better for you to write another test asap for keeps because ETS have or would mail your school this update. Start reading asap, holla I'll give you magoosh for prep. Hope for the worst and pray for the best. Karma is a beautiful biatch

So much said... I'd be sitting for the GRE on the 24th of November (Friday, next week). My center, according to the info I garnered from the ETS website, is in Owerri. Registered through the B.Y. Mafit guys in hopes that they book a Port Harcourt center for me but this happened... shocked angry I hope this is a valid center as i do not want to receive some disheartening mail from ETS months later. lol. Your thoughts please......

I don't know how you guys do these things in hope. So if I live in Kaduna I would travel down to Owerri for the GRE?

Something feels off about this arrangement. When I used BY MAFIT, I was asked for the venue I wanted and it was selected for me. When you noticed they did not give you the PH venue you wanted, why did you not call?

BY MAFIT have been in business for 6 years or so. They don't even pay for the tests with credit cards so the odds of getting your result cancelled via that means is almost negligible.

But if you hired a mercenary who is going to superimpose his picture on your international ID to get into the venue, don't be surprised if you are found out months down.

A word is enough for the wise.

I work and reside around PH. I could not afford to accept the next available date for the PH center since it was too close to my date of registration. Moreover, the question of hiring a mercenary is totally out of it. I did call the attendant lady, and severally, but she insisted that if I wanted a date far-off, they I would have to settle for the available one - which was far more important to me than the location itself. I am only bothered about the authenticity of the venue, nothing more...

Authenticity of the venue has nothing to do with BY MAFIT or any other vendors. ETS decides which place is acceptable to them. Of course, should that place mess up, ETS themselves could withold results from such venue pending further investigation.

People at JKK have had their results witheld before but later released. It is something that happens from time to time. As long as one is not using a fake or stolen credit card, or a mercenary, they have nothing to fear.

I wish you the best.

86th percentile Q, 84th percentile V, congrats bro.

To add your solid MS degree with your first degree. Your wonderful TOEFL. I don't see anything stopping you at all.

Hopefully the AWA comes out at minimum of 82nd percentile too. wink

Good day all.
I wrote the GRE today at JKK. 159V, 157Q. Disappointed with the score as I was hoping for a much higher Q.
I got two straightforward analytical writing tasks and then the exam in the format QVQVQ.
I registered with a frequently mentioned agency on this thread and used a variety of materials: cracking the gre, Kaplan, magoosh.
I'm a fall 2018 hopeful for PhD in energy systems engineering.

Congratulations on your score brother... I think we have seen quite al lot of intimidating score on this thread to make some of us think we haven't done enough cheesy and make kind of statement as above... your scores are not as bad as you make it sound and yes you can get admitted and funded with it ... Cheers man, you've done well!

You're right. Many great people and gangsta scores on the thread. lol. I was inspired to rewrite.
I actually wrote the exam last year with same Q score and V increased by 1 this year.
I've been a ghostreader but I promised myself to share my experience this time.
hopefully, the score will be enough to get a funded admission this time around. Thank you.
