You can choose to be pissed or be funded. Your choice. Compared to the verbal section of the GRE, Toefl is a walk in the park. So why would a test that would give u funding piss you off? Abi u no like money
Sent you a pm. Please reply.

Danjaninja & Co., u guys are doing a great job, may God bless you. Let me say this, expect nothing from people (especially on this platform) so that when you get little from few, it would be so valuable to you and peradventure you get nothing, then you have lost nothing. I appreciate your effort, may God bless you. Yes, am a complete novice here, infact a jew. Yet, I want to take this GRE test. Even up to the moment of writing this, I don't know what GRE is about, I don't know how much it cost to write, I don't have an idea of where and when it can be written. I ve been shopping for a fully funded masters program abroad, when I came across the word "GRE Test" as part of pre-qualification for admission. So, I can searching and thank God I found you guys. So Dan, I'll like you to tutor me about this exams from elementary to advanced. I need your help. More so, find my academic profile below and advice me if I stand a chance of getting a full fledged scholarship (as I have no financial support whatsoever, except God). All I know is that, I'll be doing Masters but not in this country.

My Profile:
B.Sc. Economics - 3.49/5.00 2012
ICAN/ATS - 2011
ICAN/ACA - FINAL STAGE NOV. 2015
WORK EXPERIENCE: 2 YEARS ACCOUNTANT/FINANCIAL CONSULTANT/ CREDIT RISK ADVISOR.
TOEFL - NIL
GRE - NIL

Where do I go from here.
Thanks.
F.O.D

While I'm no guru by any means, I would like to weigh in before Oga Danja checks in. Here goes nothing :
Of course, ma'am, you do have a chance of getting quality graduate education abroad. It just depends on your level of tenacity and dedication. You have acquired relevant experience in your discipline, and that's great.

However, the GRE neutralises everything, if you had a not so super undergrad GPA, your GRE helps you prove to the school that you can apply the reasoning skills required in Grad school. So you are in the right direction.

Focus on scoring as high as possible on the GRE for now. A GPA of 3.49 from School A differs from a 3.49 from School B, so your GRE scores provide a means of you proving to them that your GPA is no fluff, so please take it seriously.

I am also taking mine this November, and God has been good to me, letting me get help from people, including those from this thread.

GO THROUGH THE FIRST POST ON THIS THREAD. REALLY SUCCINCT AND VALUABLE. I HAVE LOST COUNT HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE READ IT!

Pick a test date, get the relevant materials and start prepping.
All the best!

Both. Open a PayPal account with normal Nigerian address. Then, drop your GT Mastercard details when prompted on ETS's site. Meanwhile, you need to link your GT Bank Mastercard with your PayPal account (I. E Verifying your PayPal account).

Waoh! 2 weeks!! You head is there, bro. I sincerely think you would be able to pull it off.
BUT, fretting about the cash won't help o. You are taking the test, so you can study in a good school. Everything else doesn't matter. The negative marking on the GRE is exam anxiety.
Gather yourself together, God has got this for you, boss.

For those of us that want to create paypal acct, here is a web page I used when I was to open mine. And it worked perfectly. Just follow the instruction. Note: I can't get the page info, I just saved it on my laptop. But I think if you type "How To Open Paypal Account" on google, you should get something useful.

Help you pay with their cards or yours? That should not be. Anyways, here is the thing, try to make sure that the address you used to open your bank account tallies with what you filled on the school's online application. I think this should solve it. Let's know what happened after this.

But I honestly believe your friends should be able to use their US-issued cards to help you out.

Best.
