imperioux: Hi guys. Hope you're all doing great? I couldn't comment on any thread for some weeks now because I've been banned for 1 month by the owner of nairaland (I don't want to mention his name again so that he won't come for my head like the last time).

Well, so far I can always register anytime I like, who cares about his capability and might Also finding more time to be online generally is another issue but I will be back soon.

Cheers all!

ridimic1: msnas snubbing me again for d 5th time..I jus asked of name if her sch. smh

slimmy05: What you need to understand is exchange rates are not static, they fluctuate overtime, its not like US visa fee that's fixed at their thievery rate of 167

chimdilawson:

Good day to everyone,
i will be scheduling my GRE test for next month or early september. I need someone to help with a material to help prepare for the test(whether hard or soft copy).
Any possible tips and advice on how to get a very high score would also be appreciated.

my email : tolutweety@ymail.com

Thanks.

igbonerd:

First I must give you due deference by prostrating: ____O_
Those scores are really fantastic. I'm a graduate of Electrical/Electronic Engineering, and believe I'm generally better at math than verbal (like the average engineering student, lol).

Anyways, I took the powerprep sometime last year. I had no idea what it was at the time, so I took both tests I and II under untimed conditions. In hindsight, I regret it because I can't take it again to ascertain my readiness and performance level. Please, do you know of any other tests I may use in lieu of the ETS powerprep? Secondly, how did you prepare for the Analytical Writing (your scores are pretty ace)? Lastly, have you secured any admission yet? I'm appreciative of your interest. Bless.

Rijo02:

Lol.......US visa fee is even fixed at 170. Slimmy I think you are very correct cos the customer service lady told me dat it fluctuates; yesterday's price being 158.8. And now I think I recall that same last week, bureau de change was at 166.xx.
What's the perfect recommendation considering cost and safety?

francisabuah:

then wat next after getting the visa card,will a master card do too? I just wanna a complete info on how do do about it if u can give me in details.

zeezahbee: Lemme break down this dollar and naira iiish. When I was about travelling, I went to GTbank to ask for PTA thinking they will gimme, they said Nop, that they have activated all master cards and that I can use it in US for transactions but I told them that I can see them buying for 156 and selling for 158, they were like its for western union or people with dollar account, so I left. I tried other banks and it was same. They advice me to go to bureau de change , I mean those aboki. So I got $500 from the aboki at the rate of 167naira. When I got to new york and I used the atm to withdraw, I was charged $3, but when I swipe the card at USairways stand to pay for my box for $60, I wasn't charge, just the $60 was debited at the rate of 166.07naira. So far I have been using and swiping my card everywhere I go and no charges but if you use the atm, 420naira will deducted for every transactions. You can link your GTbank card to your paypal account, I paid someone on nairaland connecting flight from NY to missouri with the paypal account and it was fine but current the current rate is around 166-168naira either swiping, online or ATM. If you have more questions, lemme know.

slimmy05: Rijo and all, use the link

ebdib: @igbonerd there's also manhattan free online test but
It's very hard.

For simulation, powerprep is the best. They update powerprep every 3 or 4 months so the one you took is probably dated now.

Usually your score in powerprep mirrors your actual score in this way.
Your verbal score increases by 2-3
Your quantitative decreases by 1-3

Analytical writing just use Kaplan and cram their strategies. Man those guys are excellent in writing tips. Don't bother to be creative. Infact if you're creative you'll lose points. Don't form soyinka. Be as boring, prolix as possible and go straight to the point. You'll get at least 4.5.
Also make your essay as long as possible. Paragraph well. I recommend at least 4 heavy paragraphs with solid thesis breakdown by points

My observation and what I read from grad café.
