DanjaNinja doesn't come here as often as he used to. Drop your facebook email address, and someone will.

Get yourself a copy of Barron and Manhattan for the quantitative, then the Magoosh Vocab software and GRE Bigbook for your verbal reasoning. If you've got extra cash to spare, you could also get a Magoosh GRE Account. Getting a 300+ would be a walk in the park if you can practise diligently using these materials.

All the best.

Hey guys,please I need your response. I have registered for the next GRE which is built for February. I want to know how long it takes for WES to evaluate results? I have a B.Sc but the CGPA isn't too good,but I just finished a PGD where I had 3.87/5.00. Please during evaluation,should I send both transcripts for evaluation? Secondly,do I apply for my current CGPA or I should apply when its been evaluated yet? Will appreciate your replies.

Evaluate both transcripts together and apply with the evaluated cgpa.

You can only transfer if you're already present in the US and you must have gotten admission already from the school you wish to transfer to plus the new I20 with the same start semester period as the one you're transferring from. The transfer process isn't difficult at all and is basically the release of your SEVIS records by the old school for the new school to pick up. It usually takes about 5 days. You can transfer immediately on arrival to the US without having to attend the first school at all but you must arrive early before the resumption date of both schools to do this, for once the first school has already started you might have to complete the first semester with them before being eligible to transfer out the following semester, which of course means deferring your admission from your second school to the following semester to be able to transfer the following semester or transfer after a semester or two depending on you.


Always on point as usual. Baba i hail o!

Am really glad to find a thread like this on NL. I was opportuned to spend 3 months for a training course in the US and wrote my GRE there. I used 1 month to study plus busy moments during the training. I scored V145 Q143. I was dissapointed and cried all day. Now back to Nigeria and I intend to write again in febuary. Please DanjaNinja can you add me to the fb group? I wish to take insight from all you gurus so I can make more than 300 in my next exam.
Thanks to you all and happy holidays.


Case resolved.

Hello Stolid. Dman and all gurus in the house. Please I hope to write my gre by February. I want to know if Feb isn't to late to write the test. Cos am applying for fall 2016. Please advice.

For top class schools, it is too late. However for every other school, you might have a chance. It all depends on the schools in question though. I think you should Make a list of schools that suit your academic needs and find out their application deadlines.

I should post my school search guide already. Its been almost a year in the making. embarassed embarassed embarassed

Welldone everyone, i honestly commend the good job that is going on here...keep up the good work.

I intend to apply for Msc Business Information Technology in Canada. Most of the schools require that I write GMAT or GRE. Please I wish to inquire, which of these exams would you advice I sit for, with respect to availability of materials, chance of meeting my required target and other factors.

Please I need your candid advice on this issue.

What I do is go to the departmental website, get an idea of ongoing research works at the department, try to understand what they are about and then tailor my research interest to whichever piques my interest. In my email, I try to explain how the Professor's research work would be beneficial to Nigeria, and indicate keen interest in being a part of his project. Attimes I also attach my undergraduate research work to the email.

thanx brova.
