For gurus that have used WES, please is the student copy of the final report a detailed one showing both the final cgpa and the US equivalent of each course? I'm currently registering and I'm considering using courier to send my own report so that I can just scan it and send to schools instead of using $30 to send to each school I'll be applying to. Thanks!

Schools dont accept your scanned copy, only ones sent directly from wes are acknowledged. U av hard n soft copies sent to ur post mail and email respectively by wes.

DreManuel:
I'm US bound bro. Congrats. My confusion now is whether to choose UIUC or UMich. I'm even thinking of checking out UC Berkeley or Caltech. Money don show.

Congrats.

Scholastica16:
DreManuel,

Walspring:
Amen and you too.

I don't understand why majority of you keep asking for account details again because I sent it together with the details needed.

Nawa for una because It seems you all didn't even read the whole instruction and if after 24 hours I didn't get payment the test will be cancelled and I give the slot to another person.

Payment made, please confirm. You didn't put d account number, u only wrote "send payment to xxxx". Thanks and God bless you and the facilitators of the discounted registration. I cant thank them enough.

Walspring:
You can make the payment yourself if you have your gtbank online banking with token and you save the receipt and print it out from you laptop.

I just got the GRE order confirmation in my mail. Thanks Walspring and the facilitators of the 50%bonus. I pray that God will replenish you all and may you never lack in Jesus' name. Please send me d bank account details asap bro.

Sir/Ma, I am unable to view country, Nigeria on the centre list

Try changing your browser to google chrome n also specify your location I.e. Lagos or abuja , Nigeria

Walspring:
I sent this in the email about the offer and I wonder why everyone keep asking me again about instruction on payment after they sent me details needed and inside that included how to send payment as well.

Anyway I will check to see if you are part of those i haven't send to

I also sent you a pm about this. Please respond. Thanks.

Walspring:
To all those that sent me pm and i forwarded your details out and said to me that you will send payment after test registration, kindly check your email to confirm the test registration and fulfill your promise because 9 people test already paid for although just 5 people sent me cash ahead of the test registration and still have 6 more seat.

Another good news is additional 3 offer was added and the total offer is now 18 and out of this 18 slot, 9 slot alreadalready paid for...

9 more to go and am waiting for other with their details..

God will bless those benevolent people and you will never lack. Amen

Please I'm interested in both d toefl and GRE test registration. I sent you a pm. Thanks n may God continually bless the good people behind dis offer.

Corporate Affairs Commission has taken company registration to the next level. The new online registration system has greatly improved efficiency such that a week is more than enough to register a business name or limited company. What you can enjoy using CAC online service:

1. Name search/reservation can be done the same day. From my experience with it, most requests done before 1pm are usually processed the same day. (This used to take 1-2 weeks in most state offices).

2. Stamp Duties now has an instant electronic online portal that is integrated with the CAC portal. You pay with your ATM card and the next click you are downloading your stamped documents and an e-receipt sent straight to your email address. (This was usually 3-4 days; thanks to CAC/FIRS collaboration).

3. You download and sign your forms (you will need a notary public or commissioner of oaths), then upload them again. Usually, you will get a response the same day you upload them for your RC or BN number, if you did everything right. Your business in registered!

4. Go to the office you selected as your collection point with originals of your signed documents and other things you uploaded and collect your certificate and CTCs. (No timeline for this one to the best of my knowledge, but 2 days allowance works for me!).

Notes:
It is stated by CAMA 1990 (as Amended) that the secretary of a company should be a lawyer, chartered accountant or chartered secretary.
Business Names (with BN number) do not require stamp duties
Incorporated trustees need a notice published on Nigerian newspapers for some weeks

Visit http://cac.gov.ng for more information.

How much does d registration cost for different categories of company/Business.

Ndawe:
Update: Also full funding has come in from Tennessee Tech and I have the luxury of making a choice now. For those still awaiting decisions, please do not give up just yet; that's why I'm providing these updates. Delay is not denial. I wish us all the best

Congrats sister.

I guess that is it from me for this application season.

I have been accepted to the Molecular and Cell Biology PhD program of The University of Texas at Dallas with a Graduate Tuition Scholarship that covers all tuition and fees. In addition, I will receive a very generous stipend through Graduate Teaching Assistantship.

I only contacted the Graduate coordinator on April 14 and submitted my application on May 1st when the schools were trying to play cello with my future.

I appreciate everyone that has been asking after my application status. It has been arduous, but the difficulty pales in comparison to the sweet taste of success. For those still expecting a decision, don't lose hope. #TeamFall2017 Yes we can.

Congrats, wish you greater success in your future endeavours.

Johnolukolade:
Hello everyone. I've got an inquiry. I haven't received my certificate from my school and it's part of the requirements I'll send to WES. So I figure I should send my statement of result since it bear my degree type. Will wes process my transcript?? I need candid answers ASAP!!

Wait for your certificate since that is what is required by wes.

amofum:
Pheeew!!! After 8 rejects, on the June 1st, 2017, I received that pleasant message... PhD Admission & Funding from Essec Business School, France. Special thanks to everyone on this group and more to the family on Whatsapp.
Special prayers for those still expecting, God never sleeps. To those yet to write... bring home Grammy.

Hi, If the schools one is applying only states 'official transcripts' and no mention of WES, hope this means transcript sent by one's alma mater and not a transcript evaluated by WES.

Yes, it's d transcript from d undergraduate institution, sealed and stamped; otherwise, d sch would have stated 'evaluated transcript'.

QueenSuccubus:


Don't tell me Nigeria don't have health insurance ?

Yes, Nigeria now have NHIS; you can register as an extra-dependant with 15k. I think there might be other packages one can subscribe to. Just visit any of the NHIS offices for more details.

Please don't waste d carcass, just feed it to d carnivores in d zoos.

I think its to deter thieves from having access to the fence.

Kudos to d coach n tech adviser for d great lineup and intelligent substitutions. Respect. Wish I could watch d match live in Uyo. The Eagles are rejuvenated. Good game and thumbs up. #istandwithsupereaglesingernothrohrwetrust.

Total Quartz 5000 is a no no for your corolla.

Your 1996 Corolla requires Toyota Motor Oil 5w30. I guess your engine is a 1.6L one so you will need about 4 Quarts. Call me 09086679585 on how to get it.

Yes, its 1.6L. Is d oil semi-synthetic or fully synthetic?

Nelbless:

Please which oil is ideal for corolla DX 1996 and where can it be purchased. Been using total quartz 5000 for a while now.

I had to put the caveat out there to avoid touching stories. If you choose to go the Edulight route, you'll have to be on their neck every step of the way.
Had 111 in the TOEFL.
The premium videos are in a compressed file that is about 1.1GB large. The regular videos are not compressed into one file so you'll have to download them individually, they shouldn't be more than 2GB.

You had a great score bro, and a nice profile as well. Just go ahead with PhD application. U r very fit for it. All d best with ur apps.

Thanks bro. I used Edulight Consultants but I don't know if the stress involved is worth the savings man: sometimes they'll just ignore your calls and text messages, other times they'll be making incoherent sentences when they decide to pick your call.
I gave them four schools (recipients) for my TOEFL scores but they didn't register a single one and they gave me my login details when it was too late to add the schools; I had to raise an additional $19 * 4 because of their mistake.

Ok bro. The cost is still fair, how was ur toefl? What's d file size of d regular magoosh and d premium magoosh videos, just want to know d one I'd need to download again. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

Been following this thread, although from the shadows. Wanted to write the GRE this month but couldn't get a slot anywhere in PH so I had to travel to Lagos to write on the 13th.

Got to the JKK building quite early and then the wait and anxiety started; can't say why but I was feeling uneasy about the test, not like it was going to be my first or last exam in this life sef.

Anyway, as we joined the queue to be screened before commencing the test, the people that were screened first had already started typing away. I got to my computer and started typing too (#50k no be play o, plus transport fare and hotel bills). After the AWA section (which looked rather fair to me), I got down to the first verbal; it must have been the experimental part because boy, was that section harrrrrd (ets should try to leave that type for last na).

It sort of destabilized me but I soldiered on o (again, #50k + siblings), 'attacking' the quantitative section that followed and the others after that. Altogether, it was quite an experience sha. After everything: V 157, Q 164, AWA: 4.5 (I expected more in the AWA but well...).

Very helpful were the Official ETS guide (for AWA, V & Q), Memrize App (for vocab building), the Magoosh Videos (regular and premium) and also Powerprep and Manhattan Six online Tests (to simulate the actual test in terms of timing and, to an extent, difficulty).

There you have it friends...my hustle only just started as I'm looking at UIUC, CMU and PU (God dey o). Thanks to all contributors on this thread, every single one of you.

Congrats bro, wish u success in ur applications. Please, how did u register for d gre with 50k, I might need help for my toefl registration. Thanks.

I got to jkk around 8am, hoping the exam would start by 10am, since it was a standardized exam, we didn't start till like 11am.

I met one nairalander at the venue, nice guy, he recognized me and came to greet me, even during this hardship faced in nigeria.

The whole venue was very boring na him I spot one unilag babe, we got chatty, all gre fly comot for my head.

Did the data capture, they collected everything we had on and gave us pencil.

Started with the first section, it was blessed, as prescribed on the 1st page, I used Kaplan for my issue, it was smooth, It was a topic about studying the a society and the city, and just showing that a city is Germane to study of a society or not, I didn't practice with ets pool of topics because I wanted the exam to be like a exam were I would be able to think creatively, and not try and remember a topic I have practiced earlier.

The argument aspect was better, but I couldn't conclude well, Manhattan book helps you in seeing 1001 flaws, too much points too little time, I articulated them well, but my conclusion didn't pull through about 5 lengthy paragraphs.

2nd section was Verbal, I knew my strong point in verbal was Reading comprehension, the first set of text completion were abstruse, I couldn't find the pattern easily, I answered some correctly(maybe), I moved to my the RC, 1st Rc was short , blasted it, under 2 mins, next was the usual 4 questions very long RC, I practiced with coadcoax, so long RCs were a blessing, unlike the short ones filled with so much logic, long RC I read it calmly, I identified the main idea, the tone, and other senrenre, I wrote the RC down like a tweet, so the whole thing was fixated to my mind, Sentence equivalence on the Real gre is not the type you see in those books oooh, they are not the popular synonyms, they make sense individually. If you look too much at the options, another meaning enters your head.


3rd was the Quant, In my mind I said this is the time to shine, the questions you see on the 1st part of the gre are the ones gruber made is 25 strategies about, there is no need for too much calculations from the 1st to like 5th question, just your the test of knowing that a variable can carry any sign unless stated and Co, i wondered why ets always reiterated that to you should know questions you miss during practice, they have a format and these questions would hunt you, I fumbled in all the 3 data set, I didn't practice data set in the last 4 days of the exam, I thought it was moimoi as usual, but the charts I saw!... I missed the usual compound interest questions which I always miss, you won't see this interest and Co clearly stated I 5lb Manhattan and the rest,I also missed the independent probability question which I always miss, I missed like 5 or so In this section.

4th section verbal, it was easier than the 1st,it was clear I either performed woefully in the 1st part or It was the experimental section, it was straight forward, the text completion were the normal ets style, clue, pointer and gre vocab, RC was harder for me now, they were short, they were more and would require more time. Only one on RC scaled through

The 5th was quant, the first question was like a RC it was long, from practice tests, I noticed the 1sr questions are tough, the question after quantitative comparism tough and after data set too tough, they are time Consumers, but I made a mistake which I always knew was a mistake, I wanted to ensure I performed well In this part because I Don mess up for the 1st quantitative, I was solving to the letter, lo and behold I met one of my favorite missed questions, instead of skipping, I ran ri mo , chop valuable 3 minutes, moved on to the data set, the one was even more complex 8 mins, 7 more question to go, I didn't know one there my eye just dey see black, next question the sum of a recursive set that is in every ets material, I missed it and he choop time, I was able to run through the last 3 questions about to click answer for the last time dissappear, I said to myself, this is the end. When I clicked the next section and it was verbal, none of my quant was experimental they were the real shit!!!!

Last section, I clicked continue continue continue, I didn't even look, I said to myself, I Don fail gre, I looked at the guy at my side that one didn't have clue, I garnered hope, I just did the last section, one kind one kind, even RC, I skimmed for the pointers and answer questions using the bad options methods,

I finished my Gre and I told myself, omo u Don cast, 65,600 Don burn, I didn't want to report scores...

I reported scores blah blah blah...

Quant - 156
Verbal - 154

310...

156 was my minimum score in Kaplan online test, I had 2 156,1 158,1 162...in verbal I had 147s highest was 150...

Princeton I had 153 in my 1st quant, 162 in my 2nd, 150 and 153 were my verbal scores

Manhattan test 159 quant, 154 verbal.

Power prep 2 149, 158 were my quant scores yeah I did the power prep test 1 twice, verbal 150,152... I didn't do power prep 2 2nd test, I read it like 3 days to the exam..

My little advice, the 1st page of this trend can give you a good gre score but find what works for you.

Verbal, : verbal grail, coadcoax and 1014 Princeton, magoosh flashcards and that new meme software that dude recommended days ago is very good, but it was late

Quant : 5lb Manhattan, official guide, ets quant set, kaplan online quiz and gruber you are good ...

Need to buy a single text book buy the official guide and get a good Internet connection, the Internet is the best resource...

To access the Kaplan online portal for 2016, the answer is text


More gist dey I just gats summarize...


Danjaninja special thanks sir... You are a blessing and bless up to everyone who helped me and the Facebook group was the place I got confidence after the 149,150 score in power prep 1 test...
The difference from the 149 and my 156 score now was the material I used to study.....

Good balanced score bro, please send me a copy of d verbal grail and coadcoax. Thanks. Rewriting in Aug.

ponpon:
Dicapino thanks a lot, meaning I'll stick to 5lb Manhattan, since most high scoring individuals have testimonies about it..

And my use of Gre vocabulary has increased, I used Kaplan grouped words towards the end of the book, sought for their meanings and Gre synonyms.

Word power made easy is bae, you just get happy as words unmask it's meaning to you during text completion and sentence equivalence...

Am way addicted to nairaland.com, and I actually spend more time on here than reading. Lmao... I just wish there could be timely GRE articles posted here that could at least benefit the mind, reading skills and vocabulary, new yorker and the rest I exhaust my free usage too early

Not only d 5lb, but also d Manhattan GRE 2nd Edition-8-book set. U can also make use of their video guide-Manhattan Prep GRE Guided Self-study. U can search for dem n download on www.thepiratebeach.eu
