I don't think your cgpa is as low as you think. Infact, you should stand a little above 3.0/4.0 on the WES scale which is usually the benchmark for most good engineering programs. That being said, you should focus on the other parts of your application - GRE/TOEFL, LOR, SOP. You should aim for a GRE score of 320+ with a quant score of 160+. You can do it! Funding in that case will be very plausible. Maybe just not from highly ranked schools.
Goodluck

It depends on the country you wish to study but if you have USA or Canada on your mind,GRE is neccessary.Your target point should be as high as possible(〉= 320(my view though))..Nice GPA you have there..

Good evening guys
I sat for my first ever GRE last month,quite nervous on the test day. I had a score of 310 (160Q 150V 3AWA),few marks shy from my target score �.
I really need advice from the house on whether I should put in an application or retake the GRE cos I really need fundings.

Hey guys. I just started studying for the GRE and I now know why most people score higher in quant than verbal.. The vocab is something else. I want to know if the goal is to cram the words or master the art of guessing correctly. thanks

It is always difficult to suggest schools because you are the only one that know yourself and what's important to you. If you go through these thread I am sure you will see some schools people have applied to and gotten accepted. You can also come up with schools that are not yet popular in here and in turn open the doors for others when you get in.
Personally I am not a fan of Cleveland state, I think you should aim higher considering your GPA.

Neither of the two. You should learn and understand the meaning of the word in context and different usage in sentences.

It really depends on who else is in the application pool. Personally, I suggest you re-take it, if you feel you could do better than that score.

Personally, I don't think memorising loads of words help so much. With an average understanding of words structure and understanding the question structure itself, you can score many good points. Look at Magoosh frequently used or appearing words.They help alot. I remember seeing the word 'hodgepodge' on my second GRE. I first learned it from Magoosh Android app.

Your understanding of the comprehension passage will definitely increase if you have much time to read the passages and answer the questions. Unfortunately, on the test day, you don't have that luxury. However, with some techniques , you can score well in that section. If you have been a reader of quality literature, you can nail those questions without much stress.

I personally focused on getting most of my sentence equivalent and text completion questions right. With the techniques I learned from Manhattan, I scored well in that area. I deduced that from the official test diagnostics.

Also, do alot of practice test. Kaplan have improved their online tests. They are really close to the actually test questions. The practice test questions are free online. You can do a timed test, set a test on only areas of your weakness or strength also. It is really good and helpful.

Wow! Not up to 24hours ago that I called B.Y maffit’s customer care centre when I was hoping to pay 45k for my GRE registration but to my greatest surprise they said they’ve stopped thier “one time promo” shocked . enabling the amount to go back to its usual price of 90k. cry I was even begging them online that they should please accept 60k becuase they never told me it was promo. undecided . On getting to nairaland as usual to seek for help I bumped into this superhuman whose nickname is lincoffm... grin cheesy . Chai and choi! He helped me with an affordable price with discount of 50% as I was able to remove change from the initial 45k and still pay for registration. As in ehn. I was at home and my registration was completed without stress. @lincoffm. May the raining showers of blessings continue to fall on you. Let the world say amen kiss
