GRE And TOEFL Examinations

Gre , Toefl Candidates. Let's Talk!

Please, is anybody here a registered candidate for GRE or TOEFL this year, and resident in Abuja?. I need people to share ideas and resources with. We can all benefit. "Two good heads are better than one"

I'm not registered for the GRE this year but i've done it before and had 1460/1600. If you have any questions, you can ask me, i'll be glad to help.

i 've taken toefl before and i applied online, it's very easy that way. you can choose the country of your choics to take the test. Heres a link:

If you want to apply online.

I'm taking my GRE in about two weeks. The quantitative section; I'm almost an expert. The essays, my dexterity is improving seriously; but the VERBAL section is a nightmare , especially the antonyms and analogies. HELP???

On TOEFL,

I think I agree with nonny, for TOEFL online is good. I did the online one. I think it is fast, safe and convenient.

ANd please, believe me if your going for admission inthe US, it is one of the cheapest exams ull write, I had a 290/300

6/6 in the (typewritten) essay and then I was 17. So please, never fear and one thing; remember to bring your Int Passport and confirmation thats all u'll need (apart from a cool head.) 

You guys are simply wonderful. Can you believe I nevr knew anything about these"flashcards".  GRE, here I come!!!!!!

My friend took TOEFL n she got d highest mark {230}. she took it 4weeks ago. If u need any help, i might ask her for you.lol

BTW, most schools require you to have at least a 250 on the TOEFL to qualify for admission.

Nope, your GRE is your key. Most schools won't bother looking at your TOEFL if you score really well on the verbal section of the GRE. The TOEFL is just to ensure you can cope with American style of English. Most schools require 250 and above in the TOEFL though.

Sorry bro, samething happened with my GRE at touche Lagos, when i got there on test day, they told me that my name was not on the list of those to test and it was an error from ets, It took them almost  4 days to get me a number that i needed to contact prometric netherlands inorder to reshedule.

I've resheduled but not without parting with almost 800 naira for a phone call.

The mysterious things that are happening with these exams baffle me?
Today I received another confirmation of my GRE on a different (further date) than the one I had earlier received. This isn't what I bargained for?

Yes you're right I registered; got a confirmation, and five days to the exam date, here comes another e-mail telling me my date has been postposend by 36 days , b'because the Abuja test centre will be closed on my earlier chosen date. This is crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The centre is still at touche ltd, V.I. It just happens that some names of candidates to test for that day are not sent to the computer at the test centre and if that happens to be you, you have to reschedule for another day.

@rare
That's the correct number, but when you call you'll first hear the recorded voice, just wait for the voice to finish 'yarning' , someone would pick it up.

i did toefl with touche too, but now my problem is how to get back my results

I took the toefl in school last year 'cause i qualified for being bilingual (it was free and it looked good on applications). It wasn't that bad, I wish all my tests and exams were as easy as that. lol 

As it's been mantioned above, the easiest way to register for toefl is online at http://ets.org/teofl and pay via credit card. In 10min you're already registered!

And fo all those who haven't taken it yet, it's not that difficult. I took it in Dec `06 so I had the chance to take the last version: Internet Based Test (Toefl iBT). My score was 110 out of 120 and that with some technical problems.
Just pay attention at the speaking part, because due to the 'internet' thingy, it might block for a few seconds, so try the free test online before actually taking the exam, because this way you'll get an idea about how it is.

Good luck!
