Chris4guns:
Hello and good evening. Am a little bit confused now and so I need help from anyone who has gone through such similar experience.

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.

wickyyolo:


Yes. U need proof.

Uk embbassy is different from US. I dont think US wil go to uk embassy to ask about you.

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:
Please is there any GRE registration site you know apart from By Mafit?

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

Onyedika11:
Is someone willing to share Magoosh account for TOEFL with me? Was given by BY Mafit but I can't login

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:

I was told to pay extra 5k for the Barron text book, making the registration a total of 80k, was that so for you?

The softcopy is free but the hard copy is 5k.

Kendrix69:
Is there anyone here who registered ielts with by mafit....I want to know the textbook you were given. Thanks

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.

Yes. But remember this comes with Free Lectures, Magoosh Premium access, Manhattan Prep Access, Kaplan hard copy textbook, etc.

Hello house, what's the price to register GRE? Currently at BY Mafit, was told 70k

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?

sillysassysally:
Guys, i wanted to share that i got admission to do my MSc in Finance at McGill University. I remember how the journey all started here, trying to prep for GRE and what not...

I wish everyone awaiting admission decisions all the best!

Wao. Congrats Sis. Happy things are working out for you.

AkAbiola:


Tried it again, 3.68/4.0

Please, help suggest schools who can offer phd GA for chem related courses. So I can check out their requirements
Thanks

Check out University of Toledo, Chemistry and Biology dept. Also, the school of Engineering at Dartmouth and Mississipi State University. Also check out University of Nevada, Reno.

All the best!

AkAbiola:
Please house,
I completed my imputation and submitted on step 3 of WES unofficial transcript evaluation around 3am or there about today.
This is 7am and I haven't seen any email of the result.

Does it take much time, when should I be expecting it? Couple of days, weeks, hours?

Should I go do another one?

Thanks for helping out guys in anticipation

Any update yet?

pierre92:
Washington State just called. Full funding(PhD). Fall 2019,yes we can!

Congrats! It's the beginning of a new life with new possibilities. Just one final hurdle and you're there.

NoQualms1:


I have been trying to contact B.Y.Mafit for more than 2 weeks now but their numbers are always either busy or unavailable. I want to register for TOEFL for March ending. I need to make some clarifications before paying. I might just look for another option.

Maybe you're calling after 5pm or on weekends. As expected, their numbers are always busy. I'll suggest you call the different numbers on their site during working hours. At least one will not be busy.

AkAbiola:
Please, I need your help.
Please, Don't mind how my question sounds. I'm a novice in this matter.

If I am planning towards Spring 2020 resumption in the US for a PhD GA programme, when exactly is best for me to register for GRE and secondly, when is it okay to write GRE... Please ,be informed that I'm only starting the GRE prep this month.

And also , when is the best month to register for TOEFL and write it.

And a lady friend told me , I will later need to evaluate my cgpa and it usually takes long according to her.

So, putting all these together, help me with time /month evaluation so that I can fix my target on your evaluation.

Thanks wonderful people...

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.

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.

sunkanmi562:

Miaanita:

Contact B.Y Mafit. www.gregmattoeflnigeria.com

Gospelozy:
Thank you.
These are my profile.
Course studied: Chemistry education B.sc ed
Cgpa: 3.66/5.0
Intended course of study: MSC chemistry education or PhD
GRE: 276.3
TOEFL: In view (would appreciate if the schools could waive it)
I want a school dt would grant me full scholarship.
Am grateful�

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.

tactmayor:



Please I am looking towards PhD with full funding for fall 2019 in Environmental Engineering and need suggestions from you.
I have admit from Michigan Tech without funding and have identified Cleveland and Ohio State U. I would appreciate other suggestions.

Profile- GPA- 3.7/4 in Civil Engineering
GRE- 310 158(Q) 3.5 AWA
3 researches but none published yet

University of Utah should be happy to receive you. You can also check out Carnegie Mellon University, Florida International University, New Jersey Institute of Technology (Quite competitive) and Temple University (Great funding prospects)

Best of luck!

Schrodinger1:

Can you help vet mine too? Or who else here can assist in SOP corrections? Very Urgent thanks.

You can send it. Be careful how you share your SOP though so you won't be given a red card for plagiarism on your own essay, written painstakingly from your own personal discernment and brain wave.

opexy89:
Good day all. Pls am kindoff new here.

Firstly, please what's the mangoosh all about.

2. For those studying at by mafit. Since u can start the tutorial any time. What about those thatbstarted b4 u. Or there are separate classes for new comers

3. Is there any official mat for GRE. And the Kaplan material, how good is it. Thanks in anticipation

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:

Hi Dear. Please am interested in the schools that gives admission with a low GRE score.
I rewrote mine for d 2nd time & it happened dt my first score was better 276.3. I didn't expect to score a 274.3.5. because I practiced harder but was admitted in the hospital 2weeks to my exam. Infact I wrote my exam 2 days after I left d hospital.
So please, assist me with the schools.

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.

mrcodebreaker:
Rewrote yesterday, But sadly I got 287 - Q 146 and V 141. Previous score 285 - Q 140 and V 145 and my toefl was 87. I am mentally drained and I am not writing again. I will have to raise money to pay the fees, I just have to work hard. CGPA 4.23/5.0. I am looking to study Geophysics. Please what are my chances. I sent my latest 287 scores to; texas a & m kingsville, Michigan Tech, Colorado state Uni, UT Dallas and I sent my first 285 scores I sent it to; Texas a & m Kingsville, Texas El Paso, Uni of Utah, Uni of Tulsa.

What are my chances. What do you think I should do. Please please I cannot rewrite again. Whats the way forward?

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.

Sherlock5577:

Can't say I don't fully agree with you . Though I must have forgotten the meaning of most of these words
But the truth is they're both right somehow..
As frostsc just said, please we shouldn't derail form the purpose of this thread!!

After all the "sufferness" I went through to learn words that I will not use to collect money inside bank, I will now forget it just like that? Osi gini? Is like my mind is telling me that God want to punish forget! Me and my words live happily ever after bro. In sickness and in health. Till death do us part.

Jung:



Ain't throwing shades, but this is not necessary. Elegance in simplicity biko

I ain't throwing shades either but after stuffing my head with words that my first to fifth generation will certainly not hear during their time here on earth, bro, permit me to express once in a while biko.

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.
