hello. just finished the exam few minutes ago!
this thread was really helpful in preparation. av to contribute my quota
Tip: if you ain't good with maths. start with barron, solve every question you see then move to the official GRE text. For verbal and writing us magoosh and the official GRE Text.
But personally learning all the vocab wldnt help. don't depend on it.
My experience : wroke at JKK in lagos, started with issue task, baba don write 15mins b4 I realise I mis-read the topic, sha rugged d remaining 15mins write sometin, argument task was cool tho., next Verbal, I never see verbal wey hard like ds b4. a lot harder than barron n magoosh (my opinion). study GRE frequent word list. na just 2 I see... guessed for most. twas hard. Quant : Quant was a lot cool. 1st was good. the 2nd was harder. guessed the ones that took time.
Prepare for the Quant well, am not rili a verbal person. but don't be scared if the questions comes hard. I sha dey do all dey go. VQVQV
Result : V- 147. Q-160. total 307.

Congrats bro. You did well. Your quant scores are pretty impressive.

My people, life in america is a whole new ball game o. Passing the Gre and gettiong your visa is just the first step in a long list of hurdles you would have to scale to successfully study, live and work in america o. I'd be posting my experience of life in america soon. Knowledge is power and sharing is caring. Peace be on to you all and success to all who would be taking the GRE.

Exactly. Passing the GRE, getting admission, getting the visa are only but baby steps. Life in America is a whole different experience and it changes someone.

Replying of verification depends on your school,. Some school do respond back to WES through email while some mail a wriiten response back to WES. So, figure it out which one will be faster, and which method does your school use in replying WES. The fact is, the status on your profile will change on WES portal as soon as they receive the response from your school.

My Advice: Stay on the neck of anyone that works in your school record office. You can as well tip him/her to be checking and updating you about your stuff..

Greetings to all partners in progress on this thread. I decided to register for GRE today after much contemplation. the problem now is i chose 20th of Dec, the site confirmed it and i advanced to the level of filling d parent/ guardian details, also ticked d options for " purpose of wanting to take d gre" blabla... but along the line, i encountered an error...the site asked that i try again later. As anyone ever had similar xperience? I signed out n signed in again to try n this time around tho 20th was still available but it denied me of seat after confirming my details. Could it be that i have been added to d available seats during my first attempt to register or the seats have been taken. Someone said those "not available" seats are usually booked by agents so as to surcharge prospective candidates. Dunno how true... Pls someone should reason my matta before i choke

Visit www.ets.org/gre and create a mygre acct. Next, you creatie a paypal acct (that should take you less than thirty minutes), link it to any of your bank accts, chill for verification of the acct by paypal, that's gonna take a day or two I guess. Then you can do the reg by ursef using the paypal acct. Alternatively, you can try using a visa card, cos mastercard isn't accepted for GRE reg in nigeria presently I guess. Gurus in the house might also help with other suggestions.
