I am currently working with an Oil servicing company.

every contribution no matter how small will be welcomed welcomed

jamebex:

You re welcome to the family bro! The house is just prosaic these days, guys are busy with stuffs like you know.....lol. Well as per advice i will say- First, read from page 1 of this thread to the last. You will be thankful you did because this thread is inundated with every bit of advice you will need.

Secondly, focus on geting stellar GRE scores. Since you will be applying by 2013 you have ample time to prepare. The higher your scores the better.

Start preparing for your Letters of Recommendation. What i mean is make sure you have a very robust rapport with your prospective recommenders the more they get to know you, the better.

Thirdly, you seem to have research experience that is fine. Are your work published? If not, try and publish. This is very important for PhDs and even the MSc. You'd be suprised @ the magic this can perform.

Fourthly, do you have any specific school in mind now! If not start now. Peruse their website and look for PIs whose research interest has nexus with yours. Your chances of been accepted to any program is signcantly increased if their is a prof. There who likes your research.

This is by no means peremptory, other veterans can still add their 2 cent.

Do you mean the Paper GRE? Apart from the paper test which is not even available in Nigeria, GRE is done throughout the year monday through friday except holidays.
As for the application all you need to know can be found on ETS website www.ets.org/gre

Datanet: Hi all, need a quick info from the gurus in the house, how do u pay for the University Applications/ processing fees for MSc programmes. The various US schools website are requesting for a Credit Card payment option and its not accepting my debit card. It also wont allow me to send in my application unless i pay first.

how do you resolve this

Thanks

regards

2good: This thread is almost dead. I used to be active here between 2009 and 2010 and it was a good period to communicate with fellow aspirants like myself.
I wish you guys all the best.

bukahands: nice thread am preparing for the GRE this january and am studying with baron and grudgers.

FutureDon:

If your debit card aint working, I suggest you lookup 'Zenith Bank Websurfer' or Zenith Bank Buxy Card' online as I don't have up-to-date info on them any longer. They both work efficiently and you don't have to be a Zenith Bank account holder before you can get one. Also, you could always use them to order additional test scores. Good luck with your applications.



Yeah, you used to be very active on this thread back then.



Lookup this website, loads of RC practice questions.

Hehe, I got you, memories of antonyms, RC and quants.

What a great achievement, well done!! I initially thought you are somewhere pursuing a doctoral degree. I want to be like you when I grow up o

tosinomolara: Thanks for all your responses. I understand with some good effort and study materials one can meet the target.In my case, I am quite weak in Maths and I need to improve on my speed. I also could easily be distracted but with a coach and the fact that am paying, I'll be focus and discipline.I really need to brush on my maths. I am using Kaplan and Barrons to prepare at the moment. Let me know any other material or application I can download.Thanks. Still would not mind to have a Tutor even if it is for revision.
