[quote author=rogerdavid post=38270308]ETS has debited my account without sending a tracking code and/or the 'THANK YOU' display; both of which indicate a successful application for the GRE exam. Please Guys, what should I do? I have mailed them but no response since the mail was sent more than 24 hours ago?

I paid via Paypal[/quote

Please I need your scope on AW. how did you approach it. Did u focus on giving many point or in buttressing your point? what was ur essay length

sori for not responding immediately.
first thing is you should go through the kaplan book and see how they tackled the questions. i gave lots of examples and scenarious. practice a lot. you have to be juicy and insightful when you write. iwhen u give a point expantiate on it a bit but not so much. that would waste ur time. tackle lots of STRONG points, expantiate on it, don't babble o. and on.just hit ur point in directly. in short keep in short and simple.
goodluck dear.

congrats on your score.
What materials did you use?
What were your study strategies?
Any recommendations?
What mistakes did you make?
Thanks as you answer my questions and congrats once again.

thank you
1.wow.thats a big question. I used lots of materials i got from the GRE facebook group. i used the ETS official guide on VR abd QR. I used Manhattan, Barron, Grubber, Kaplan's AW pool, Mathematics strategies, powerprep II, Magoosh app(reaply helped to learn new words),etc.dem plenty o…i didnt really have time to thoroughly study all the books but I skimmed through them, worked on my weakpoints and practiced a lot.
2. my strategy was DIVIDE and CONQUER. i only had a few weeks to prepare..say six or seven weeks. i had a study plan for each day. devoted about five to six hours daily for GRE. the thing is gre would appear strange at first but you have to continue practicing and get familiar with it.even if na zero you dey get for the practice questions just keep on at it till you improve. practice as many questions as u can. if u score high on a particular question dont get all excited about how you've blasted GRE.make the tin no go shock you like DVD oo.lol.
3. i recommend that u plan well ahead of time before u take the gre. this would help you plan your study time wella.d thing is we want to do everything almost at once and in such a short time at that.it happened to me and made me to crash read. for the VR, familiarisw urself with the GRE words.make them a part of your regular vocabulary.this is why you need lots of tine to prepare. u know say if you cram plenty unfamiliar words at the same time na plane crash be that o and plane crash dey hardly get survivirs ooo.*winks*
4.my mistakes were majorly due to improper planning, inadequate study time...i guess thats it.

but if you aint got so much time before the exam just crash read but be smart about it. do not go and cram new words for six straigjt hours all in the name of cradh reading. dat would be tantamous to reading a dictionary o.you could use two hours for QR.use two for VR and maybe one for AW. u you could take breaks in between.like for me i watched movies in between my study plans. i cooked. i joked around. all na to reduce the tesion amd smoke o. i no fit kill myself o..so like i said, if you got little time to prepare , crash read but be smart about it.

GRE takers..remember to BREATHE..goodluck yall.

aite...i did the GRE.scores were not so impressive but wanted to drop this here.
AW-4.5
VR-154
QR-153
i didn't study for long(less than two months) so i know the scores could have been better.
i used a lot of materials doing the short study period and wld b glad to entertain questions.
