The Manhattan GRE strategy guide... inside it contains practice questions at the end of each modules of the Quant.. don't know of English tho.. ....in each modules contains Easy, Medium and Hard practice question set..... The easy and medium questions are okay... but the hard practice question set is crazy..not getting it like dat... pls gurus on dis..ur advice will be needed... cause am battling with dat part gan...

You don't have to be discouraged at all. The hard practice questions are not likely to be seen on the test day as Manhattan asserted.
However, keep practicing them, solve the problems and check the strategies in which they used in solving the problems,take note of your weak points and review the strategies learnt again. I'm currently on the 4th pack IE geometry.
I did algebra, number properties and fractions and my score has improved in the hard practice questions section from 13/20 In the first two to 18/20 in the third after reviewing the Manhattan strategies of providing solutions.
Try as much as possible to avoid silly errors too.

I hope this helps

happyday:

Your test is here already, and you'll need all the ginger you can muster to perform your best. Really, the perfect situation is to practice enough until you consistently get your dream scores in your practice tests, and then you go ahead to register for a test date. But, who says everything must be perfect before we take that leap of faith?

Don't want to sound like anything, but you'll need to believe in yourself. You might not know it, but you've improved since you started your practice. Don't forget God still works, he will be of help.

Just don't take this impression to the test center. It will sap out that energy out of you, real quick. Don't fret if you don't understand any vocab, ETS almost always test the words in context these days, and you might find those questions simpler than you expected. Passages are always annoying, so prepare for it. Get used to it. Plan to read it once, noting salient points as you go along.

How fast can you get the big picture of any GRE-style passage? This will be key on test day.

Come back and share your testimony, bro!

Bro,

Am back, I did my exams on Thursday.

Had 300 Verbal 149 and quant: 151

Was quite disappointed with my quant but I give all the thanks to God.

Am unto the next phase.

A family friend wants me to apply to University of Minnesota twin cities says he would paid the application fees.

My course is Electrical Engineering.

WES converted GPA is 3.17/4

Can you suggest some other schools not too far from Minnesota?

Please , who can help me with the link to all these test.. I only just downloaded the PowerPrep test from the ETS but I'd still appreciate other test like Manhattan , crunchprep, Kaplan , Princeton etc.. I just need how to download or register for this test to prepare myself.. My date is fast approaching...

You can not cover all the materials on test preparation. Manhattan online test that I know requires you to spend money.

Work with PowerPrep after reading through the study materials (ETS, PrincetonRev, NovaMaths, manhattan 5lb), that's MY plan.

Congrats on your scores. University of Minnesota would be too ambitious for your profile. Please don't waste that application fee. Do some more research on average ranked schools. You will surely find one or more that match your interests.

Beautiful Saturday morning it is... My TOEFL test score just came in.

R28 L26 S26 W26
Total 106

All the preparation paid off. Relieved....

I used roughly 10days, jonsing for a better part of it . Had been preparing for the GRE verbal, so the TOEFL was somehow covered.


How I achieved my score -
Reading: This was straight forward, only got myself acquainted with what I was expecting on test day. Got question answering and time saving tips from Notefull videos on youtube. Previous knowledge of secondary school comprehension passage came into play.
TOEFL Reading easy sha.

Listening: Was also straight forward, Used ETS official test prep materials 3 and 4 (these had audio embedded in the booklet) + Notefull videos.

Speaking: Used majorly Notefull videos for the Speaking part. Other materials were dribbling me, Notefull had a defined formular.

Writing: Used Kaplan GRE booklet that taught about grammar (before the Issue and Argument tasks). Kaplan TOEFL showed me examples of what Writing answers looked like. Helped alot. Here, Notefull and Cambridge dey dribble me.

Geometry is topic 3 actually.I didn't follow the normal order but you can follow the right other,there isn't any big deal about that, just get the problem solving strategies involved in each section.

I really don't know much about those online practice tests yet. I make use of the practice tests at the end/beginning of each book for now.

I suggest you lookup kaomanfen.com suggested by SirRiddy, I saw some practice tests there. (Use Google chrome browser so you can translate to English seamlessly).

Your profile looks very good.

What did you study at BSc and MSc? Have you done the GRE and TOEFL? Are you fixed on North America or you would like to consider Europe as well?

Hello guys, I plan to register for GRE this week. For those that registered recently,

How much is it
What is the earliest date I can get to write the test

Thank you. But I know good GPAs in themselves are nothing if other parts of app are rubbish. BSc Pet Eng, MSc Mat Eng. Yes I wrote GRE but I am not happy with my scores, so I am rewriting. I am writing TOEFL after the GRE.

Yes I am fixed on North America now. For Europe, I am only interested in UK. Tried but no funding.

Good scores. Yeah, unto the next phase. But I must ask, must it be Minnesota? Or do you plan staying with the family friend for the duration of your program. Expand your choices. I don't think location should be a primary yardstick for school selection.
I've an idea though. To start with, send an email to the graduate program co-ordinator of Electrical Engr at UMinn Twin Cities. Tell him/her a brief profile (Your school, GPA and experience, briefly), pick a prof whose research interest you, and highlight how you plan to contribute to his research using your experiences. Add your GRE scores (with the score report, if available).

DON'T mention funding or money.

Ask what other things you need to submit to start applying. Be enthusiastic and don't whine over the GRE score, or anything. Proof-read the mail, but don't expect a reply.

Wait for a few days, then send a gentle reminder alongside the original email, while attaching your Statement of Purpose and transcripts.

Let's see what happens.

All the best.
