Hello everyone

I intend writing my GRE 1st week of November.
I reside in Ibadan, Akobo Ojurin precisely.
I am looking for someone to hook up with who also intends writing soon so we could be having group discussion and study together.
I'm a lady.
I'm going for MS in Food Science.

Thank you.

Also is Lesson compulsory for GRE or with effective devotion , one can study personally.

Of course taking lessons is not a compulsory criterion to pass the Gre. However, it is an advisable option as a good study centre with a great track record of successes, would help you know exactly what and how to study to get you your desired score.
Should you feel that you can do this on your own then that, of course, is your choice.

Pls, between the paper base and computer base test which one can you recommend for an average person. Or which one do you think it's easier to pass for an average student

Well, the first thing you should ask yourself is which are you more comfortable with. Some people find reading on computers a lot more difficult than others and some others find computers more functional than physical paper. Therefore passing either a computer or paper-based tests depends on individual preference.

I’m not experienced but a 3.94/4.0 and then 294 in GRE doesn’t look right. I believe such a high GPA should come with an above average GRE. My thoughts though.

What if he sorted his courses?

Hello good day, I reside in Ikolaba Estate, Ibadan but I’m yet to register, however, I need a couple of textbook that will aid my reading. I’m entirely new to the system and trying to make new friends/study partner. How can you help me with some textbooks and possibly we could have a study time ?

A friend of mine just left last 2 months to U.S for a full scholarship on graduate assistantship.

Hi, I live in IB too and currently undergoing my masters degree in UI. However, in as much as I need to have a study group, I’d also like you to share me any soft copy textbook you’ve or you can recommend a bookshop I could get one. UI bookshop only have official ETS and I’m still searching for Kaplan and the likes.

How can you be of help, please ?

Hi guys,
So In rewrote the GRE Today. Yes a Lot of people said I had a great Score, But I just wasn't comfortable with my score, so I paid another 70,000NGN to BY Mafit ( Awesome guys). So in order not to flop the Quant, I decided to take some proactive measure.
I registered for the Manhattan 6 Practice Test Bundle costing $50, (19,000NGN). I did quite poorly on 3 of the 6 tests. Also I started practicing all the Hard questions over at greprepclub.com forum, to pace myself, and get accustomed to hard questions.
All through, I continued revising my vocabulary, and revising all my verbal strategies, so I don't slack in my rewrite. Also based on the advice on quora, I also wen through the ETS GRE Math review, to learn all the funny tips and trick of high school level math present in the quant.
Test Day
I woke up by 5:04 AM, and proceeded to fry egg, and toast 6 bread slices, for break fast. I went over all my strategies once more, and boarded a bus to Law school B/Stop. Then I trekked down to dragnet prometric. I made small talk with a lady I met there.
AWA
I went through the AWA quickly and confidently, writing about 900 words for each essay. The keyboard I got was better than the last time, so i had ample time to proofread.
VERBAL
I prayed for a first verbal section fervently, because I realized that would mean no experimental Quant section ( which I feel bleeped me up last time). So I was really happy when I got a verbal section first. I went through it in 15 Mins (I don't waste time on verbal). And I rightly predicted, I got three verbal sections. I really didn't care which one was experimental. It felt just about okay.
QUANT
The real reason I was rewriting. I went about the quant more carefully, I detailed my solutions very neatly. I paced very calmly, and resisted the urge to go back and forth shopping for easy answers. I knew getting all the questions right would mean a tougher second sections, so I got my cool, and went ahead calmly.
===============================================================================
RESULT
QUANTITATIVE- 169
VERBAL - 162
TOTAL - 331


SCHOOLS
STANFORD UNIVERSITY -PHD
UT AUSTIN - PHD
RICE - PHD
WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS - PHD

GPA
4.74/5
WES (UNOFFICIAL) 3.82/4.0

cc- quoran scholastica16 time2win

NB: What really helped me in no particular order
1. Encouragement from my friends to rewrite
2. Manhatted GRE 6 test Pack ($50) - (It really mimics the real GRE)
3. greprepclub.com/forum/
4. Quora

also I hope to beat my 4.5 AWA
