For those asking for the access to the Kaplan Online Practice Test, Here:

Follow the link below:
https://www.kaptest.com/pages/booksonline#gre

The access i have is for the GRE Premier 2016 and GRE Premier 2017. Each of the versions contains about 5 full practice test. I was able to go thru some of the practice tests in the 2016 version but couldnt go through the test in 2017 version due to time constraints.

For GRE Premier 2016, you would be asked the input the last word in a particular chapter of the book when you click on register, the word is text. And for the GRE Premier 2017, the word is response. You would have to sign up with them to have access to these resources.
Hope this helps...

All the best in your best.

Thank you for this, however, av tried every means to access the test but all my effort has proved futile. On the website, I was only allowed to add paid tutorial to my cart while the free practice test login was not found. Can u please delineate how u access the test.

Any masters student in food science in the house?please I'm a newbie,I need help

Team fall 2017 msc ...fst

ChemEngr01:
Gurus, my TOEFL result came in some days ago. They did me strong thing on the speaking section
R28 L28 S23 W27. Total 106.
Do you guys think the speaking score will be a problem when it comes to consideration for funding? Should I rewrite?

OluDare01, please give your take on this as Tennessee Tech is one of the schools I plan to apply to.

Congrats bro. Just sent u a pm. Plz revert

LagosismyHome:


I wont be able to comment on funding because none of us here will have access to department budget so only a current student in that depart might be able to give u some insights..... school 1 and 4 i know off are normal standard school

If not for the Buhari exchange rate that is not smiling, the best would have been if these are ur target school to apply to at least 3 and see who gives u the best funding package. ... maybe the others can be off more help

Thank you so much for the comment.

Gud day house. After thorough web search and advice, I came up with the following universities that match my academic goal and funding opportunity. I want the gurus in the house help me to rank these universities in terms of cost of living in the particular city they are located and funding opportunity. Course: msc, food science
1.university of Madison Wisconsin
2. Nebraska Lincoln university
3.south Illinois University
4.Michigan State University
NB:All standardized test will be written very soon
Thanks...

warriboy21:


if u can convince the vo on the food science msc and try to relate it to food safety in africa about germs bla bla bla..den u shud b fine...else.....try other major in msc relating to ur field that would sound convincin to the vo

I can surely do that. I jst need a uni like urs with such wonderful opportunity

warriboy21:


we dont food science msc....wat was ur bachelors on?

Ok....food science nd tech

LagosismyHome:


If u dont get funding then a budget of 500k is not even possible to run any master program . If ur budget quoted is in naira ..... half of 500 will go into one way ticket.....2 way ticket will gulp all that money self. Another half of that will go into sevis, test, visa and all...so u left with like 200k ...that barely even 1000 dollars.

Not possible sir

Thanks for the comment but the money is for sch admission, visa and other payment needed to be made. Just need suggestion on schs with low initial deposit to process visa with job opportunities in form of GA, campus jobs and other as study support.

LagosismyHome:


Depending on what ur degree is with 3.53 u can write GRE score high and be able to get GA . Targeting fall session .... that better than aiming for for a low tuition school . Because however low the tuition is, with this exchange rate that is not smiling. It still amounts to been high

Thanks much..I will think abt that.

im sori guz...u can requote me...i was trying to quote and answer back but the thread ended and the topic locked......so this new thread should be fine.

icool thers nothing mighty about the switch....most times IT degrees can even be learned off youtube. what you need at times are just certification exam. as for my school they dont need prequisite for IT irrespective of ur background.

mrchemist the documents are mostly transcript. lor, sop and bank statement.

alexandersheriff they dont require official transcript. but now they are requirin

g transcript to go tru eduusa.(this happend because most naija students who got admited never showed up in school and now they are getting strict). if not, during my time last year all i submitted was just a kpako uniben scanned transcript and other scanned documents and voila admision was ready

surgeonheric i wont advice anyone to go for undergraduate in my school. reason is because its freaking expensive ...dats were they make their most money from...na big oyibo men children full der o... only the graduate school is cheap because its still new. started about 15yrs back or so.....and so they are still trying to gain reputation and all that .......but for UG...no go der my broda...except ur paleh na obo .....

lagosismyhome....no mind d school...i de do free work for them..dem suppose half my tuition ...thanks anyways

Its a new page, a new dawn. I av been a silent follower of this thread and I think its time to ask a vital question about US universities. I used WES evaluation procedures explained by bigfrancis (kudos sir) and discovered that my gp is 3.53/4.0. According to warriboy (I hail boss) post on his school, I wish to ask if I can get a sch of such low tuition fee and various opportunity to complete my study as i'm on medium or average budget Toefl fee exempted? My field of study is food science.i will also welcome any suggestion or advice on this. Thanks 4 ur time

Hi guys, here is what happened with me: I got the online test notification email on July 7th, the day after it I received two emails about the short listing outcome, one of them stating that I successfully moved forward to the next stage which is online abstract reasoning test (GCATA) and online personality test (Perspectives). The other one was stating that my application was successfully progressed to the next stage of the selection process, which is a detailed assessment of my application.

A week later I took the online tests, and like you all waited for outcome, I checked my profile at scholarship.force.com and I found my application status changed into "declined", I know it was set to "submitted" before I took the test, so I got disappointed and thought it was over.

later on August 5th, I received another mail, stating that my application was successfully progressed to the next stage of the selection process, which is a detailed assessment of my application, the same wording as the one received on July 7th.

I double checked my profile application status, it was changed again to submitted.

Hope this could help clear some confusion, and guys please be optimistic, the application status most probably is not relevant, I had it changed twice into declined then submitted again.

I experienced all u wrote here except the decline status which I recently noticed.i hope that will change soon Jah's willing.

Collineno:
did anyone who received the recent mail sent on August 5 got a decline profile status? did anyone who received the recent mail sent on August 5 got a decline profile status?

doziej84:

yeah, got a mail on the August 5th saying I've moved to the next stage.

I received mail on the 5th of august that I have moved to the next phase of the selection exercise
I checked my profile on scholarship force.com on the same day and it displayed submitted. Unfortunately, yesterday I check to discover it has been changed to declined. I hereby urge all that received the same message to check their profile on scholarship force.com to know where they belong and update the house. Thanks

Zachxolan:

It is well bro...we would get there.

its not only you bro. i'm presently in your shoe.i resigned two months ago due to some challenges. Till now, i av just been submitting my cv and roaming the street for any available opening. lets just be hopeful.

dbay01:


My pleasure sir. I studied Food Sciences and technology.

Wow wow! Congrats Bayooo. In short am really happy for you. We need to talk. Will send u pm rite away

I graduated from the great University Of Benin in 2014 with a First Class (Hons) degree in Mathematics. finished my NYSC Programme and went back to my University last two weeks.
Wow! it wasn't an easy task. I was directed by my HOD to write straight to the Registrar office.

I'm with u bro. I'm a first class graduate from a federal University and finished in 2014 as well. I hope to learn a lot from you. Please ride on

exotiqueify:


You asked me a question?.....OH i'm sorry....My bad . mtschewww......Funny how when u are done feeling fly in (mis)informing someone in your bid to show u understand semantics in a language which isn't your mother tongue, you are now here wailing about the role i would play if selected. Please don't make me go all karate on u.

Now my question is, what was the motive behind giving me the meaning of 'revert',(That you even had to detail it down to transcribing the word ) instead of answering the damn question?

If you had replied my question, simply, instead of trying to pick freaking faults, i wouldn't.....NEVER WOULD have retorted in this manner. Don't blame me for my response to u, and try to be sure of something before you try to teach someone else.

P.S: i am certain u are no English Major, cuz u should have, or better still, done a simple research, as to varying meanings of 'revert'. #enoughsaidbiko#

Try to control your anger. Just discovered u need to work on that. Just as u z, #enough said# and m sorry. #caseclosed#

exotiqueify:


Naturally, I would have lashed at u for tryiñg soo hard to show off..... I was darn certain, I knew d word "revert" ALSO meant to reply.....I mean, i had to literally check my dictionary again. That said, Please try using an UPDATED dictionary.
(intransitive) To reply. E.g. Please revert by Monday.

I would care less if u are an English Major, but I didn't have to be one to know revert has various other meanings.....Next time u wanna be a douche, try triple checking before opening your mouth.
.....And then again, seeing u have no answer to my question, kindly buzz off. Thank u.

Douche or what. I think I deserve words like admirable, honorable man etcetera. Anyway I'm neither English Major nor Minor rather I asked you a simple question and deserve simple answer not the other way round. Do u realise that u will be interviewed for customer contact position if successful in your written test. How will you handle an irate customer?. Haba!!! exotiqueify please calm down.
Now to your question. I av not gotten any reply from them and I wrote the test on Friday 13th may 2016. Thank you

exotiqueify:
For those who had an assessment with Workforce on Friday, 13th, (probably for a call center/customer care), Plz revert if you have been invited for the interview on Monday.

Revert What do you mean?
revert /rɪˈvəːt/
verb
1. return to (a previous state, practice, topic,
etc.).
2. turn (one's eyes or steps) back.
noun
a person who has converted to the Islamic
faith.

ME TOO OHH, YUMMY DELIGHT TO ME SOUNDS LIKE AN EATERY OR CLOSELY RELATED FIRM

MzPecs:

According to the mail I got, it says yummy delight Ltd and when I made a google search on them, it's actually Yummy delight foods.
I'm confused as to whether to go or not

Hello, how far with the interview. Did u go?

HAPPY SUNDAY BOTHERS, PLEASE I GOT AN INTERVIEW INVITE FROM YUMMY DELIGHT, SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY @ OGUN STATE, DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA OF THEIR SALARY SCALE?/MAKE I NO GO THERE GO DEVELOP BAD MIND FOR MYSELF

I also got the interview invitation. Good job enemy and God bless you. Please house come to our aid on the question raised. The state of the economy is not friendly so the little in the pocket nd time can not just be wasted.
BTW what's the meaning of MFI

LordRegalia:

Depending on the breed, if the dog is still a pup (or under 9 months old) you cannot reasonably expect him to assume the role of a security dog at this stage. It is normal behaviour for most puppies to be overly friendly, even with strangers.
Give the dog time to grow. As he matures, he would become self aware and begin to assume the role for which he was bred. In the meantime, your friend should bond with the dog and learn how to control him as he grows up.

Thanks bro for the wonderful comment. The dog is Alsatian . I'm still open to new idea and suggestions.

LeSammy:

What's the breed of the dog in question and how old is it! So we can know what aspect of the training to address!

Good job bro. The dog is Alsatian. The owner will prefer it to be a guard dog to attack dog. The dog is like 2-3months old now. I will tell him to try your suggestions here . I'm still keenly interested in other training methods. Thanks

LeSammy:
TRAINING NO.3
Leave it
This can help keep your dog safe when his curiosity gets the better of him, like if he smells something intriguing but possibly dangerous on the ground! The goal is to teach your pup that he gets something even better for ignoring the other item.
1. Place a treat in both hands.Show him one enclosed fist with the treat inside, and say, “Leave it.”Let him lick, sniff, mouth, paw, and bark to try to get it — and ignore the behaviors. Once he stops trying, give him the treat from the other hand.Repeat until your dog moves away from that first fist when you say, “Leave it.”Next, only give your dog the treat when he moves away from that first fist and also looks up at you.
2. Once your dog consistently moves away from the first treat and gives you eye contact when you say the command, you’re ready to take it up a notch. For this, use two different treats — one that’s just all right and one that’s a particularly good smelling and tasty favorite for your pup.
3. Say “Leave it,” place the less attractive treat on the floor, and cover it with your hand.Wait until your dog ignores that treat and looks at you. Then remove that treat from the floor, give him the better treat and share affection immediately.Once he’s got it, place the less tasty treat on the floor… but don’t completely cover it with your hand. Instead hold it a little bit above the treat. Over time, gradually move your hand farther and farther away until your hand is about 6 inches above.Now he’s ready to practice with you standing up! Follow the same steps, but if he tries to snatch the less tasty treat, cover it with your foot.
Don’t rush the process. Remember, you’re asking a lot of your dog. If you take it up a notch and he’s really struggling, go back to the previous stage.

Good job @op. I need your help on this. Someone close to me just got a dog two months ago with the aim that that it will serve as a security dog. To his dismay, the dog only loves to play with everybody even strangers. He is unhappy with this likewise me. I will be glad if you can help with practical example to train this dog in order to serve it's purpose. Thanks

Denvan:

Am in the Engineering field so don't know much about your course and schools u can apply to but you can check usnews.com, princetonreview.com and some other sites to get info about your course and potential schools. Others here can also suggest schools u can apply to. I believe u can get full funding. Just keeping pressing on and success will be yours.

worry359:

This is where you must do some work.
Find schools that teach your Ph.D (we don't know what it is.)
Apply for a place and ask about scholarship.
Only the schools can answer you with facts depending on all the circumstances of your case.

MrMann1:

As a student, you will need medical insurance, do your medical insurance over there in the states and do the necessary immunizations required by your school with your medical insurance.

biikeys:

My advice is always to search for apartments, have a shortlist and get possible move-in dates...get here and stay in a motel or some place else affordable and safe for a few nights, check out those apartments and move in!
Meanwhile, some schools have free temporary accommodation provisions for international students..so you might want to contact your school international office for students organizations that might be into that.

Amen. Thank you for those encouraging words. Great men in the house, please come to my aid ooo

Hi, let me salute you first for your academic excellence (First Class). Kudos!!! For me, based on little experience and comments from others, US is the preferred destination. What course are you gunning for?

Thank you bro for ur swift response . Food science and technology

Amefrica:

Hey bro! That estimate is for UnderGrad programmes in my school. I go to University of Prince Edward Island, and it's a very good one. Memorial University of Newfounland and University of Manitoba are very good too.
It's very hard to gain a Masters admission with funding in Canadian schools especially when you didn't graduate with First Class! You never can tell though, you have to go to those schools' websites and send a direct email to the registrars/admission office. They'll provide you with all the necessary info regarding funding and other admission criteria.
Good luck bro!

Good day bro, I need your candid advice on this.
I'm a first class graduate from a federal University in Nigeria but couldn't get a job after a long search. Now I resolved to go abroad for my master program- a work and learn program. so which is better for such idea US or Canada based on factors like scholarship, cost of living etc. These are important factors cos am not financially buoyant in fact if it works, I will av to refund every dime spent on me during the course of the program. More importantly, I don't want 2 start what I can finish. I really need to hear from people like you and other great bosses in the house. Thanks so much

Thanks for the prompt response. incase of anything 4 bsc graduate in food tech, kindly notify me. Tanx and God bless
