GboyegaD: Congrats once again. so happy you got it and nice you didn't rehearse answers as it helped you think straight. BTW, why carry beans when you can easily get to buy in almost all African stores and even some normal grocery store? Why not pack more garri ijebu (if you like drinking it after walking in the hot sun) and egusi instead?

syahboy: Hello Nairalanders, I recently took the Gre and today I received the official Score Report Quant-165, Verbal-156 Total 321 and AWA-5.0(Not stellar but laudable).

I started practising for the test since march and to be honest the first powerprep attempt I scored a meagre 290. However, I requested for materials on this forum and some materials were sent to my mail. I found the barrons basic as it covered some aspects of the quant section but not up to actual test standard.

A friend of mine recommended the Nova Gre Bible which I found very efficient as it teaches all the tricks and formulas needed to ace the Quant section, infact with this book you can get a perfect score on the Quant.

For the verbal I learnt 299 common Gre words and also practised with the free verbal flashcards from magoosh gre, although on test day the words were actually reasonable than the ones on the practise test.

I did a lot or Reading comprehension questions on both Barrons and http://codecoax.com/grerc/ as this was an area I struggled with. For the AWA I studied essays from http://gre5dot5./ and it helped me a lot as two of the essays on my test were directly from this site. I also recommend downloading the ebook Gre-AWA model essays.

Powerprep is a must as it helps you get the test experience, also your score on the powerprep will likely be your actual score on test day plus or minus 10 points. In summary practise, practise, practise and you'll do great. Having great scores is not esoteric, just be passionate and zealous and you'll make it. On test day I sent my scores to TAMU, ASU, UIUC and UTD. Currently doing my final semester and will be applying for Spring 2015 semester(EE VLSI) plus my Toefl is on tuesday, wish me luck guys

The bolded caught my attention. Let's go there #Sentiment#

conyema12: Thank you Lisa,

I guess from your explanation I will not be sending my dads statement of account. I will just give my dad the form to sign and mail back to them.

conyema12: not yet lisa I am just at the application submission stage, I just got the mail from the school after submitting the online application.

Isokai. Some schools do ask for all requisite documents, financial capability inclusive before taking admission decision and sending I20

Guess your doubts are cleared now

conyema12: Pls guys i need clarification.
My dad is sponsoring me, is it the same thing as self sponsored?
I need it to be able to fill my letter for financial backing,

they also wrote on the form that i should include a bank statement that will cover that sum if self sponsored.

godG: Hello House(gurus)!
Please, could someone help me with TOEFL materials?
You can forward it to gmty25@gmail.com
E jo ooo. Waiting for your usual kind responses.
God bless you.

kofsy: hahahahahahahaha pls i dont need anymore big grammars abeg! I've had enough in the last 2-months. I just unsuscribed from dictionary.com and merriam-webster's word for the day, before they continue to flood my email with words. Kai this GRE is something else. I'm feeling like a heavy load had been lifted off my head




MsNas where are you ooooooo! my cramming didn't really work like you predicted Kai! upon all the Barron's 4750 words, princeton hit parade and kaplan frequency words that i studied, only few came out.

That's the feeling dear. The words were hovering over my head few weeks before and after writing GRE but now I can hardly remember them after a year. Na #La-cram; La-pour; La-pass; La-4get#

kofsy: Bigfrancis, pings sent to you are not delivering. whats up?

I don seize his BB. To be released until further notice. He understands what am saying

tonymeskere: hello everybody, I need your urgent advice. I was denied F1 visa on 31st of July due to my choice of degree which is associate degree.In my DS160 form I said i was single. Later on I was called upon to attend a confrence on energy renewal as the chairman house committee on power and energy.Am representing Ondo State in the parliament and ministry of youth will sponsor my trip.I was asked to fill in my DS160 form that i married which i denied in my f1 application.Though I have my marriage certificate and wedding pictures for my B1B2 visa application. My question is,are they going to check my previous f1 ds160 form or they will work on my new ds160 for B1B2? I have gotten new interview date, am 30yrs,married, working and member of Nigeria Youth parliament.

JFK12: where can I read your interview transcript Foohard ?tnx

Newbie . Click on his name to view his profile. Scroll down and click on view Foohard's posts. There you will find the *winning visa* transcript

JFK12: Hi house,hp everyone is having a nice weekend ? Pls clear this for me house,i need your opinion about applying for second undergraduate at the of 26,what do you think my chance will be at the embassy?tnx

Amefrica: Thanks bro.. I used my Uncle's statement of account to apply.. On the I20, they put family funds.. Can I use my dad's at the embassy ?

Amefrica: On my I20, they didn't write my major completely.. They wrote it as Political Science and Government, Gener.(Which I knw they shortened the General).. My question is how do I fill it in the DS160 form ? Should I complete it or put it the way it was written by the school..?

bigfrancis21: Write it in full. As in, Political Science and Government, General.

Seconded. Listen to the words of Elder Biggie . It's actually insignificant since it's not a total change of course but an abbreviation. However, you don't wanna take chances.

Have you received the hard copy or still making use of the scanned copy sent to you?

Mike-Will:
Visa don come flight is ready 220 for one way ticket .... Foolhard I'm off to LAX airport on Thursdays son...... I will be calling Los Angeles my new home y'all. Thanks to lisadem , big Francis and see u foolhard

Amefrica: YAY!! This is ge'in so interesting..
I received my scanned I20 today.. Instead of 48months (4years) they put 59months (almost 5years).
And even i used my uncle's statement of acct to apply and they put family funds (wow! U knw what that means).
Haha! I'm good to go pay the VISA fee.. But there's a small problem, instead of International Relations they put Political Science...
#alilbitconfused
