Chris4guns: The issue is from GRE, as they need to update your account and reflect your status. Contact Mafit, so they can contact GRE on your behalf and sort things out. Should not take more than 2 days I think. 1 Like |

wickyyolo: This is true. They have different databases but the USA and Canada share data. It's quite complex though for future reasons such as wanting to go on vacation to the UK with your family. |

Just checked and it's not 86k with Mafit at the moment. Don't know what is obtainable now but I prepared with their resource and we even had a group where we study till like 1am everyday. I and my friends used their resource, Magoosh, Manhattan, Kaplan, lectures etc. As I said, that has been a while but I think it's better for you to use somewhere that is tested and trusted. |

freshStarz:That's still the best with free lectures, free magoosh account, free Manhattan premium etc. |

Onyedika11: I just checked with someone and the person still has access to his magoosh from B.Y Mafit. From experience though they just say 1 month. They dont usually cut people off. Are you sure you are entering the right details? Or you try it again. It may have been fixed. |

Kendrix69: 1. Free Barrons Textbook 2. Free lectures (Physical Class based) for up to 3 months 3. Free Magoosh account for online practice. 4. Free ONLINE LIVE classes in the evenings taught by their head of English Studies (A white woman) You've missed on plenty if you didn't register with them. The site should be www.ieltsnigeria.org I think. 1 Like 1 Share |

Losing your money is impossible. They have stood the test of time and are 100% reliable. I know their customer service at times could be better. I think that's the major issue they have. Their customer service needs upgrade. I sent you a PM |

NoQualms1: They have generally extended their registration completion time, which I think explains the additional time spent on registration. If you call them, they would tell you that. Just relax. B.Y Mafit is tested and trusted like Bagco Super Sac. They'll sort you out Last last. Are you taking lectures? |

AkAbiola: In this case, it's different strokes for different folks. Some start their prep for the GRE and feel they will be ready in a month only to discover that beans is not necessarily the same thing as moi moi ... In other words, they had to shift the exam forward. Depending on your quants or maths skills, I would generally recommend two months prep for GRE. If you do marathon reading, 3 weeks should be okay for TOEFL. So, maybe do TOEFL first and get that out of the way, before moving on to GRE. Major hinderance to this would be the deadline of the school for submission of standardized test scores, since its spring admission. You may want to factor this in, when choosing a test date. But don't rush and end up having poor grades. START YOUR EVALUATION TODAY! I heard WES now takes forever to evaluate documents. Someone that just arrived my school told me his own took 4 months. So, it's better to start right now. All the best. 2 Likes |

Congrats to all the new admits. Pray you find favour at the embassy. Been a while I spoke here, so want to reopen the conversation. . As for prep, once again, B.Y Mafit is still the awarded best GRE center in West Africa and they offer free Lectures, Magosh account, Manhattan account, Kaplan paperback textbook and all, for those who are having difficulties with the GRE and TOEFL or for those who want to significantly improve on their scores. Its worth checking out. www.gregmattoeflnigeria.com As for scholarships and funding, it's getting tougher than ever before, so, you must ensure your game is tight. I've heard from some quarters the the GRE test is getting a bit harder. Unconfirmed though, so, get your hands on latest materials. As for school selection, make your research extensively and don't just apply to a school because others are applying to it. Look closely at thier CGPA requirements and GRE score requirement. Ensure you meet the minimum requirements. As for scholarships, the best is the one given by the school. There are scholarship awarding bodies you can take a look at though, such as the Fulbright Foreign Student Program in USA, 2019 Future Global Leaders Fellowship, ICSP Scholarships at University of Oregon USA, AAUW International Fellowships in USA for Women and Hubert Humphrey Fellowships in USA for International Students. As for preparing for your visa interview, I'm not sure Mafit still does that but during my time there, they prepared me during the lectures, for free. Best of luck. I'll be posting more information in due time. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Gospelozy: Tough one. Not impossible though. Given your low CGPA and GRE, full funding may be a bit tough in my opinion. I think you should refire the GRE since that's the only thing that can change in your profile. Also get the TOEFL done and target a great score. Then you can narrow down schools. 4 Likes |

opexy89: The magoosh is an online prep for the GRE that contains videos, exercises, lecture notes, etc. But you need to pay to get all these and B.Y Mafit gives you that access. I don't know if it has changed, but modules are covered in phases. You should be able to flow whenever you join though. Though they start new modules somewhere in between your class, so, even if it looks like abracadabra at first, you'll fit in gradually. The classes are interactive, so, you can always ask questions if not clear. As per materials, the Kaplan is a good starting point. I would suggest you start with the Kaplan and magoosh with the Manhattan online prep accompanied with the lectures first. For me, I used the lectures as the major guide then used the materials to research more on what was taught in class. That worked for me cos I was able to use those mad shortcuts they taught. Others could have different combinations based on what worked for them. I've seen someone who used Grubers and said it worked like magic. |

Gospelozy: So sorry about the unfortunate incident that led to your scores. However, I would need your profile to be able to assist better. Please provide information on what you studied, your CGPA, what you intend to study, and what your preferences in a school are, if any. You can share here or send a private massage. 3 Likes |

mrcodebreaker: I'm so sorry about your result. I think I posted what I feel you should do earlier in this thread before you took your test. I was thinking you would reschedule the test. I can see you wrote the previous test on the 31st of October (If I'm correct) and you wrote the next a couple of hours ago. And given your range of scores, there could not have been much improvements. The prep time was just too short. I would have given other suggestions, but the hard truth is funding may not be as feasible as when you have great GRE scores. Though other factors like your CGPA come into play. I know it's difficult to write again after two attempts, but if i were in your shoes, I'll write again but this time, I would do things very differently. I would still suggest you read my earlier reply and adhere to it. Also, if you can, register at B.Y Mafit www.gregmattoeflnigeria.com/gretestdatesinnigeria and go for 10 weeks lectures straight. Also make use of the magoosh and Manhattan online prep they give. The Manhattan has lots of practice questions. All these resources are free. Also, while there, join study groups and read arduosly. Then budget another 2-3 months for practice. I think there are some uploads here as well, though many of them would be outdated. I know of a girl who scored just like what you scored, and took the steps I earlier suggested and had an upwards of 220. Just as CptCharlesVane said, the GRE turns the wise of this world to fools and gives great scores to a foolish underperforming person who knows what he's doing If you can't rewrite, and it's an absolute no, then I may be able to point you in the direction of some schools that will likely give admission based on other factors with a low GRE score. 3 Likes |

I doff my hat to these erudite scholars. The panache, sagacity, pizzazz and oomph with which you took your stand and gave reasons to support your motion displays your preponderance of perspicacious yet congrously precise ideologies. Both views are right, depending on how you choose to look at it. Let's call a truce and help others in the little way we can. I'm really impressed by your wealth of savoir faire. 5 Likes 2 Shares |
