This nigga talking about competition, you are just joking and very greedy to the core. if we on nairaland dwell on the competition mindset you wouldn't have gotten past question to practice.This exam you are just killing yourself about you might log in tomorrow and see an entirely different question.
Dear Brother,
I am yet to know how I can be classified as greedy. Please there is what is called HEALTHY COMPETITION and sharing past questions is not bad (we all used it in school).But you don't expect a lecturer to share his current exam questions with his present students, its not done.Furthermore we can only speculate that dragnet may or may not repeat the questions
As far as the available spaces at seplat can not go round its undeniably competitive .Sharing past questions, general info on the test is not bad, but its part of a HEALTHY COMPETITION.
I know my stance is unpopular but I will take the risk to stand by it.Our leaders are not solely responsible for the rot in our society, we too have a hand
However may God bless you and I wish you the best, whether I get the job or not

Screenshots gotten for today's online test....."I am very sorry" to the nigga doing competition on seeing this
Thanks bro, who says you cannot help a competitor grin grin grin grin grin
for those doubting I have taken my test that screen shot shows I haven't and I am only doing this out of pure heart and pity for those who have already taken the test.
@cymbee I will send you the past questions but we may not need it since the current questions are being posted online
Please no one should take offence because I am doing it also at my own detriment.
May God bless you and I wish you the very best in your application.

Lolz world people. The fact that you are pained shows you have written already. But what you should understand is that you are marked against a bench Mark and not based on numbers of applicant . Have you seen how dragnet regret mails are fashioned Or try reading how successful applicants are chosen

.
I wondered why you followed the thread in the first place if not for the obvious.....
My dear brother,
I am tempted to take a screen shot of my email to show you I am writing on the 11th, but I won't. I followed this thread because of the info I will get from the good people of this thread which is not only limited to test hints and they have done splendidly well, infact someone here sent me questions which I will revise.
Furthermore you can hardly see an aptitude exam thats for employment based on a certain pass mark, most are based on a certain percentile ( atleast I have been to one AC for a company which contracted dragnet and we were told), but it doesn't mean there aren't
I am just doing what I feel is right (even though it may cost me) and you have the RIGHT to do/think otherwise. So feel free to share with us and I wish you the very best.

My dear what will be will be. If one is meant to pass, HE/She will and if it's its failure whether the whole expo is given it changes nothing. Its not like the questions are all word for word for everybody. Plus even if one is able to get past this stage via expo, what about the physical test that will still be organised both by dragnet and seplat.
Save your strength. Above everything, It's all about God's grace.
My dear,
With all sincerity , I believe in the grace of God but I also believe in fairplay and healthy competition. I am not against giving general hints. What I am just implying is that don't give a hint that will make me and my gang writing tomorrow to have so much advantage over those writing today. And what will be is what you make of it, remember what ever a man sows, he shall reap.
Infact why am I fighting against one giving me hints for tomorrow's game, please if you have specific hints abeg drop am ooo. However God bless you and I wish you the best.

With Regards,
Commissioner of Happiness

Perfect tip there
Just finished mine
Write down the alphabet with their number beside
They arrange sets of alphabet with a given ordervwhich can only be gotten using their number
A -1, B-2
You will use the number to know the next in the series.
It's grace that brings success
In God's grace we trust
Goodluck friends
Please I understand that you have honest and nice intentions. I still feel this info was too revealing compared to other info already given on this thread i.e no of questions
However remember that you are in a competition, no matter how you may put it and you will be giving me and others on this thread who are yet to write the advantage. Nevertheless thanks for the info grin grin grin grin grin

Woah. Nice scores bro, especially the speaking score. A speaking score of 26 is usually the cutoff for TAs from my research and it seems you're good to go. Please, how did you prepare for the speaking section though? Writing my TOEFL on the 3rd of Nov.
I used kaplan template(practiced with the CD), and timed myself while I spoke
also you can record urself to see how audible and coherent you are, or tell someone to assess your performance if you don't have a recording device

Sorry bro. But really tho, you want to rewrite the GRE with your 166 quant score cos of a 3.5AWA score? Mba nu. You should look at acing the TOEFL. By doing that, you'll be "making up" for the AWA score. Goodluck bro. #Fall2018 #YesWeCan
thanks bro , I have taken the TOEFL already and my scores go thus;
Reading: 28
Listening: 25
Speaking: 26
Writing: 22
I will try and use it in my defence. I can only hope that the schools I'm applying to don't have these automatic score filters as I never saw any minimum AWA score on their websites

This is a really good score especially your Quants. Your school choices are top-notch however Mines in the last 3 admission cycles did one of the following 3:

1. Reject
2. Moved the PhD app to Masters (some got thesis option others non-thesis)
3. Accepted with 50% tuition waiver and asked you to seek individual faculty for RA or TA.

Summarily, their funding get as e be but it is profiles similar to yours that generally get accepted.

I would only recommend you added 1 or 2 safe schools to the mix to forestall touching stories of Top African students being underrated. If I was to recommend any I would say Ohio State University of Columbus or so (OSUC) for PhD, and Arizona state for Master's.
Thank you sir I will consider what you have noted,
Please do you how the funding situation is for Ohio state university

Congratulations, but if I were you I wont be applying to both top schools in Texas, spread your risk well.Northwestern, Virginia tech are some really good top schools you could look at.Fully funded Phd admission is not easy to come by nowadays not to talk of Msc, don't be too carried away by your scores. A friend of mine who graduated from OAU some 3-4 years ago had 337 in GRE and with his first class, he didn't get funded in Berkeley for Msc, this is just to tell you its not all about the scores. Professors want to entrust funded projects in the hands of students that can show research skills and ability to do the job. Most times these faculties get students through recommendations from colleagues in other schools. This is not to say that you don't stand a chance, just spread your risk well. Again I know of someone who had less that 300 in GRE and got a fully funded Phd offer in University of Virginia because he met and networked with his present Advisor at a conference while doing his masters in the US. There are 1001 cases like that and these are some of the cases that make it seems like admission + funding is getting harder each year. There is a limit to the number of Phd students a faculty can take in. I have no doubt that you will get admitted but think for a second about some crazy Indians/Chinese bringing close to perfect CGPA and Test scores, some international students who had their masters in the US and planning to proceed to PHD programs. Cheers and All the best.
Thank you sir, your advice will be taken, but the last thing I'm thinking about is getting carried away, I targeted 330 because I know the competition is crazy(all these asians that will not allow someone to rest). Once again thanks

Ok, let me give back to the community who has given me so much info.After barely a month of preparation with interruptions by job interviews ( plus films wey I watch till early this morning),I wrote my GRE today in Abuja after I had to postpone it once(see how money miss angry angry).I had to leave my house early as I did not know the venue and it was worth it because I miss road but later arrived at the venue few minutes to 10. I was still unsettled and I was a little worn out, but man must survive. Inspired by God and threatened by paying another 50k I took the test.The analytical tried to show me pepper but I said even if na to form story I must write something.God really answered my prayer as Quantitative was the next section that means , my test took this pattern QVQVQ.By the break I needed water because I was really thirsty and I also took that opportunity to discuss small. But the break taught me that 10 minutes is really a short period of time.After the break, I started with rigour but later noticed I was flagging, I was getting slower, started to use the onscreen calculator and didn't have time to revise. At the end of the test I just wanted the whole exercise to stop (maybe because I didn't practice a full length test with the power prep software).
However my result came out thus
AWA- waiting
Verbal- 157
Quantitative-166
I was unhappy and disappointed and I feel I messed up because I expected more(when MIT is drawing you wetin you go do na), however in all things I give thanks. But one thing I learnt is to prepare better
I had to change schools like MIT and introduce plan B schools like;
University of Texas Austin
Texas A and M university
University of Notre Dame
Colorado School of Mines ( na confusion make me add this one)
My profile goes thus;
School: One big school like that for eastern Nigeria
Discipline: Mechanical Engineering
Target: msc/PhD
CGPA: 4.53
Now let the writing of Statement of Purpose begin , I can not come and be going at the same time
Please your advice will be appreciated by me and I trust God to take us there in Jesus Name

Contact BY MAFIT and ask them if they reschedule GRE. If they do, I guarantee their price will be better than what PayPal will charge you. You can get their contact numbers online.
Thank you friend, but I have already done that they were telling me about 4 WORKING days as the minimum while from the GRE website and from their customer care its 4 days including weekends. In summary, they refused to grant me my request

why do you want to reschedule the exams? my advice is, just go and write d test and after the test, click on cancel scores. you will automatically be granted another chance after 21days.
Thanks for your advice friend, however I'm rescheduling not out of fear but because I will not make it due to an important appointment, and if I'm to cancel my scores I will have to pay registration fee again I will rather prefer to pay the rescheduling fee

Good morning great minds. I am happy I came across this thread. Please I need some advice and I'll appreciate any contribution.

So I would want to do my Msc but I dont want it it be in same course as my undergraduate course which is electrical engineering. I would want something general like ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT or any other. My GP is 3.74 on a scale of 5. My questions are
1. Can I still meet up with fall 2018 if I start preparations now.
2. What country might be best for me, considered Canada but didn't find much for the course I'm considering.

Please I'll appreciate answers. Thank u all
It's not too late bro, pls check US and UK schools you will find many options to choose from
