CS is well-funded. Getting 340 depends on your ability to assimilate. It will be hard though.
Thanks bro, I appreciate.

congratulations brother, pls kindly forward the materials u used for the preparation bro, thanks in anticipation. adekunlevincentie@gmail.com is my email
.

Epithet:
So I had my GRE today at Galaxy Uniprep Abuja. Please note my post is a bit weird relative of the typical GRE experience. I decided to take the GRE sometime last year searched online and saw this forum, I was inspired by great scores here to all my bosses I hail.

Now to my experience I paid for my GRE around August with walspring's GRE discount Boss I'm definitely grateful for this. Preparation became intense after that though I had gone through a few materials sometime last year I had to revisit each one. I used the Manhattan 8 Series Great Book for Quant, and the Princeton review for Verbal Scholastica16 recommended this, thanks Boss it was helpful. I had gone through the Ets material both quant and verbal before I paid for the exam so I decided to delve into other resources. I watched the magoosh premium videos, those I could get my hands on twice. I definitely recommend that also, for the lesson videos I only went through relevant math topics I had issues with, combination, probability and counting and word problems.

Forward to a month before my exam I systemically went through the Manhattan flash cards the quant was extremely useful the verbal on the other hand had a plethora of words though they may not exactly be GRE esque. You might want to revise well, I think I revised each material I read well like twice or thrice for the ets materials.

I tool the powerprep II and the ets paper test in the week leading to my test, scores were within the range of 325-332, let me chime in here the quant in paper section seemed to easy I didn't have any problem with all question except 1, while I made a few mistakes in the power prep.

Exam day, I consider myself a staid person, so I was pretty relaxed maybe too relaxed, after check in procedures that took almost an hour. The essays were easy to tackle, I had VQVQV the quants didn't seem as hard as I expected maybe the Manhattan prep had raised my level, I guess I made a few mistakes though because I expected a better quant score. Reported my scores 162V 164Q 326, maybe I used easy a lot in my post don't mind me, and surprisingly after the exams I was not tired. Thanks to everyone that has contributed to this story and if you haven't gone through the forum from page 1 until date you're missing a lot of valuable information.

Sent my scores to four schools
Purdue, Pennstate, Louisiana state university and University of Massachusetts Amherst.

I will be graduating from university next month, a student of nutrition n dietetics and will love to pursue a PHD in Nutrition or public health with full funding. Please I really want to know if there are funding in my field of study and also if anyone know about Dietetics internship for international student of Nutrition who wants to do their internship in the USA or Canada . Thank you very much I appreciate you all.

As for the PHD, it's as easy as a Google search.
'PHD in nutrition US' or 'PHD in public health', have a list of schools you'd like to choose based on your preference and ranking. Take the GRE test and you could also mail the departments after making your research if there's funding available for your course.

Internship and graduate studies are different entities. Why don't you do your Internship here before travelling?
Graduate studies doesn't require internship for admission however, internship is required for your licensure in Nigeria.
I would advise you study and plan for graduate studies while on internship in Nigeria.

Please can you share your testimony with me. I mean the questions you were asked during your interview and how you answered each one. Please my interview is just 8days away.

At this point, you should know the CGPA you'll be graduating with. I think that's the only profile you have now.
I will suggest you forget about GRE till you're finally done. Study as hard as you can for your final exams. Make sure your final year thesis is solid, also cultivate a very harmonious relationship with your supervisor and a couple of other lecturers.
If you have spare time, it is helpful if you also participate in any ongoing research in your faculty.
You can take standardized tests after you get your BSc.
Hello boss. If I join a lecturer in my department for a research and we publish, can I classify it as a research publication?

I'm in my 4th year/5th year and I want to write the GRE in December after my IT which I'm currently doing. I would also like to know: If I send send my GRE score to the schools for fall 2020, is it valid?

Hi,
That's exactly what a research publication is. Since you still have the opportunity, make the best of it! You can approach 2 or 3 lecturers in your department and express interest in their ongoing work. Not only will your undergrad project come out stellar, you'll be sure of 3 solid letters of reference.
As regards your GRE, if you have enough time to prepare, I see no reason why you shouldn't write the exam by December. However, I think many schools will still be processing admission for the Fall 2019 window by then. You can always ask the grad admissions cord, they'll have more accurate answers.

[quote author=Quoran post=68893455] GRE QUANT TIPS
1.In Quantitative Comparison questions, try numbers in this order: 0,1,2,-2,1/2. I learned this from NOVA GRE book. It works just fine.
2.Quantitative Comparison questions are half of a GRE Quant section (10 in number).
3.In Quantitative Comparison questions, before you select an answer, try at least two numbers.
4.Know the rules of divisibility. It will help.
5.Pay special attention to words like ‘the greatest possible’ in quantitative comparison questions. For instance, the greatest possible number of points common to a triangle and a circle is ____? It is more likely than many of us will pick three. Six points is also possible. Just remember that the triangle must not be inscribed in the circle. Six points will pass through the circumference.
6.Do not assume more than what is given especially in Quantitative Comparison questions.
7.Special triangles: 30-60-90 :1:√3:2;45-45-90:1:1:√2 ; The longer the side, the larger the angle opposite it and vice versa.
8.Supplementary angles 180, Complementary angles 90. Parallel lines have the same slope. Perpendicular lines – Negative reciprocal of the original line. (This appeared on my GRE). Know the equation of a line in different forms.....



You are a darling @ Quoran.
may the almighty bless you more than you have blessed us all.
These details are priceless.
you covered the whole syllabus.
if there was thing you omitted, it was the pages of vairous books you have read..
big ups bro...
Thanks I am grateful... so is everyone else here I suppose.
