Olayimikami:


N.B
If you are storing yam, this is not the best time to buy except you are planning to resell by January/ February. However if




you are buying for consumption or immediate sale, please go ahead.
the best place to buy yam is the Dan anacha yam market in taraba state
.
in fact the best place to buy your agro produce is taraba state

You will still be writing the complete GRE. what that simply mean is their cut-off mark in the quantitative section for Msc and PhD and it's in the odd GRE score model. If the above score is converted to the new model it should be 610 (160) and 648 (163). I might not be correct but it should be close.

648 (PhD) and 610 (Msc) is 151 and 149 rspectively for the New Conversion

Thanks kaima2015. Yes I am very worried about my AWA score. I don't have research publications and my only research experience is my MSc dissertation. Lol. I have work experience of 7 years in my area of interest.

Too bad, I have already re-registered. It has pushed me back 2 months in starting my applications, but hopefully I can get my apps completed latest mid-Dec. Thanks for caring, I really appreciate.

it is best to focus on the Issue Essay tasks.....they are generally more difficult than the Argument Essay tasks.....if you are well composed on test day.....and you have analytical skills you can punch holes into an Argument by clearly stating the assumptions.

Think like this ...for instance....If I state that ""The Federal Government has received many complaints on Increased Power Shortage"" ...you can punch holes into this argument by stating whether the complaints came from ""thousands"" or one or few persons who called ""many times"" etc etc

no problem...since you dont have research publications or research experience ,it is best you retake the GRE just as happyday advised...all you need is to make the same scores or improve the performance and an AWA score of of least 4.5...cut off point for Ivy League schools is 4.5.....Second Tier is 4.0

one of the best materials for AWA is Mark Alan Stewart's book...it will expose you to the questions

So I am planning to rewrite the GRE in the hopes of improved scores. I have a question for the verbal smashers.... For learning vocabulary, should I focus on the high-frequency GRE vocab like the Barron's 331 or should I go with the 800 essential words? I am practicing with memrise. Magoosh did not help me much the last time. Thanks.

@drhopeful...i have been thinking....i can see that you are worried about your AWA score....graduate review committees care less about the AWA when assessing your writing skills than they do about your research/writing samples.

So in view of this....do you have research publications?...thats a strength to supplement your application...also your research skills/experience in material science as said

my two cents....dont rewrite the GRE if you have research publications and research experence...your scores are great

Pls who knows ow to go about the personal GRE registration online? and the amount if I want to reg by myself??

Thanks kaima

my two cents.....the best way to register for GRE yourself is to Open a Paypal Account (Nigeria).....Link your Card (ATM) to the Paypal Account... make sure your Card is Internet Banking enabled.....Verify your Card on PayPal.....This is actually done by the withdrawal of a small amount of money from your Account ($2...about 720 Naira) by PayPal which will be returned to your account by Paypal....This should take a couple of days... Then use your Verified PayPal Account to pay for your GRE etc...which should cost you about 80K with bank charges at current rates
