If you're in Lagos or Abuja I think the better option would be to register with B.Y Mafit cos of the free lectures. Worked for me.

Please connect me to a trusted agent.

No you do not need the passport to register for the exam but you need it on the test date as it is the only means of identification accepted.

geejayjax:
But is the claim true? Do I need my international passport ready B4 I can register for the exam?

geejayjax:
As u shared in ur post, you said u were attending the classes B4 u picked a date for ur exam, but from what I read on their web page, there are only two free classes.

Can u shed more light on that. Thanks

Could you elucidate on that? I know lectures right now run for weeks. I did mine for 6 weeks. Maybe you call their call center but I know it's surely not twice.

Get a cup of coffee, find a very good corner in your room, budget a couple of hours, start from the beginning of this forum, and painstakingly go through this whole thread. Take notes and make action plans while at it. You will be glad you did!

Visit www.gregmattoeflnigeria.com . Their office is in Ikeja, Obafemi Awolowo way.

Bro, you have helped me in a number of ways through the various posts you have posted on this platform. I envy your mercurial and congruous effervescence and the amicable and non-puerile way you handle comments and suggestions. It is lucidly clear without need of circumnavigating the prognosis that you will surely burgeon to the apogees way more than you have ever imagined. You are one of the few selfless people who truely care about the success of others

Scholastica16:
I genuinely envy you small for reasons not clear to me. Congratulations, your both scores are very good and you had enough knowledge to know when to apply etc. I am also happy you gave back to this thread. Some others got the same information you did and after using it they left without saying anything. holarwhaley2 For example is one of such people

I am not clairvoyant but I would be gravely surprised if you do not get 2 solid offers atleast. Cheers.

Visit B.Y Mafit. I think they are in Wuse 2 or Central Area. Not too sure. You can look up the website I posted above. www.gregmattoeflnigeria.com/gretestdatesinnigeria

Chinlov:

Good news is that B.Y Mafit is also in Abuja and they give free intensive lectures like the Lagos center, along with the magoosh, Kaplan and all. You can get the address here: www.gregmattoeflnigeria.com/toeflcentresinnigeria

i want to know if u registered for any classes or just read on ur own.

wish u good success

First off, I wish to thank everyone who has posted and commented in one capacity or the other on this forum. Without you, this would not have been a reality. I stumbled on this forum by chance and at which time, I knew nothing about the GRE or study abroad. Of course I knew that people do study abroad, but I was not too cognitive of the process and all until I got here and was inspired by the various success stories.

Like my fore fathers here, I registered with B.Y Mafit and that was the singular wise choice I made cos everything revolves around them. I attended the free TOEFL and Free GRE classes. Got the Magoosh account, Kaplan Text, Official Guide and other materials given during lectures and group studies. Took the TOEFL classes for a month and the GRE classes for 6 weeks. Though free, they were very very vigorous. Wrote the TOEFL first. I'll share that experience another time since this is a GRE forum. I scored 110 though (There was a guy at Mafit who scored 115. Couldn't beat that target ). I did not read lots of textbooks. I just used the classes as my main study and did the additional practice recommended by our instructor (Enitan). Since that worked, I decided to use that principle for the GRE and it worked as well.

Wrote my GRE amidst lots of tension. The night before, I could not sleep. God punish tension . Had running stomach on the day of the exam and I started reciting all the psalms I could munster. . Was great though. The group discussions at Mafit helped, as we were fond of dealing with very difficult analytical questions. My advice is that while preparing, do not scratch the surface. Go really really deep. The more complex questions you tackle, the faster it would be to tackle the easier ones. Also, be true and sincere with yourself. For me, after I registered with BY Mafit, I didnt pick a date till I was well into the lectures and knew exactly what time I needed to be fully ready.

At the end, I scored 164 on the verbal and 162 on the quant. I know of a guy at Mafit (Dada) who scored 166 and 158 respectively. I already mailed my school and I was told I have the chances of getting full funding. I have sent other documents to them prior to this.

Once again, thank you all for helping nudge me in the right path. Now lets wait for the final decision on funding and start fasting so the VO will be nice . I sent this to Mafit to post but I guess they didn't so I had to sign up to post it myself. My advice for everyone would be to be focused and have a clear target and pursue it vigorously. Also, set aside everything to focus on this. It means a lot and it could change your life story.
