Supply details of the right to work in the UK.

Please what's should be the answer for a student applying for the 2022 Graduate position?

Should I type tier 4 student visa or
post-study work visa bearing in mind I don't have it yet but will be applying after the program next year

Couldn't get an answer on the student thread, my question is that:

I have been seeing that people pay their tuition with naira account, and the pounds equivalent is deducted, my dad has dollar in his Stanbic domiciliary account.

Can we pay the tuition with the dollar, my plan was to Change the dollar to naira and pay the tuition.

Also, which of the two is cost effective in terms of paying with the dollar or naira?

The interview date has to be before the SEVIS expires or you have to pay another SEVIS fee
Thank you

Yes if you dont want to pay another seVis
Does this apply to someone who made payments May 15th 2019,but has successfully transferred sevis payments before May 15th 2020(I.e before date of expiration), but booked interview date around June or July

Or the interview date just have to be before expiration date?

I used one month but I had to quit my job since they weren't ready to give me study leave. That one month was highly intensive. 9hours studying and practising various GRE simulation exams.
please can you elucidate on which part of the verbal sections(reading Comprehension, Text complication or sentence Equivalence) you made use with Gruber

Its better to study question 1 and go back to the passage so as not to confuse yourself.
of course, I planned to bank on this logic........ I was thinking otherwise, maybe there could be another approach he used. Thanks anyway

I used two days to study for Analytical Writing. I used Kaplan to have a background understanding and the official guide to notice how they marked the top arguments and issues. I must confess I studied for it poorly because I kept thinking why I was scoring 147-149 in Verbal despite all my sacrifices. I kept forgetting about words I crammed the day before, the passages seemed confusing. I then decided to employ the tricks I used to ace my Toefl (I scored a 29/30 in the reading section). The trick is to not go directly to the passage but study the questions first and let it give you an idea of what the passage is like. This trick worked for me and I realised I was improving on my scores in the Reading comprehension section (I used the difficult Manhattan Reading sections to test this trick and it was effective for me. I gained courage and believed I would defeat GRE.

TEST DAY
I prayed seriously before I left for my exam as I no get another 50k that I am not using. I was at JKK on time. I followed my elders’ advice of eating and stacking up food in order not to be exhausted. I decided to gist with a pretty lady beside me to ease my tension. I should have collected her number sha... I got inside and started the exam. The issue was sweet, I was able to mix my TOEFL knowledge with the little ETS official gre guide. I wrote introduction, wrote my second paragraph with a good example, jumped to write my conclusion for the issue on my last paragraph so that I relieve myself any tension of not concluding well. I then proceeded to write my third paragraph with another sweet example. I had completed it all with 5 minutes to spare. The argument was also not too difficult as I could easily pick out the flaws and quickly stated how the flaws can affect the veracity of the claim.

After this, I prayed for QA to be my experimental paper as I find English exhausting and it can kill my moral. As God would have it, I was handed QA as my first paper, I briefly blessed God and started solving. The QA turned out to be the worst QA I have ever seen in my life. I thought I was a guru of maths, I began to question if I made a mistake of quitting my job to prepare for GRE. I thought about how Chelsea stole two points from Manchester United at the die minute and how I was moved to tears. All these thoughts while time was ticking. I had convinced myself before the exam that if I did not know a question, I’d leave it to focus on another question and then come back later to it. Exam tension made me sticky stupidly on one ridiculously annoying question for 5 minutes... I didn’t still get the answer and I finally came to my senses. I attempted the other questions but time went up and I hadn’t answered about 8 questions. I quickly prepped myself up that it was experimental and I shouldn’t let it spoil my flow. I moved to Verbal and did see some magoosh vocabularies. It wasn’t too bad and my countenance began to improve. I then went for break, took my lucozade boost and gala.

I then proceeded to the next session, the QA was so freaking cheap, I began to feel like Albert Einstein. I was done with 5 minutes to spare and I was pretty sure of scoring at least a 19/20. The next verbal was almost similar to the previous verbal. I followed my tricks and completed it in good time. As I was about to start my final QA, I stupidly looked up at people writing the exam with me and saw that they were already seeing their scores. The lady in front of me scored 289, the guy beside her scored 293. I started thinking of my first QA and started shaking. I couldn’t think well. What is wrong with LUKAKU, why can’t he score goals He’s absolutely balling for Belgium. I tried placating my fears and summoned the courage to take my final QA.

Won’t lie, I didn’t write it well. I was terrified while solving maths, I got a simple question but forgot how to solve it. Smartly however I left it to focus on other questions. I ignored the data interpretation with the aim of coming back after I was done with the others. I did my best even though I knew I wasn’t my usual sef. I finished on time and selected submit scores. Result came out Verbal = 155 Quantitative = 160. Total =315. I was completely stunned as I was expecting my usual 306 or worse. I guess exam adrenaline is a thing. I quickly did the Mourinho pumping of fists especially when Man U scores a lucky goal.

Conclusion. GRE no be beans o. Please study for at least two months and also the GOD factor is key. Thanks to the originator and elders of this thread. I gained a lot from the experiences of people here. I hope my experience would help someone too in the future.

wow! Good job...... I really commend you

I will have to agree with you on that Reading Comprehension technique..... It really works. But I will like to ask, did you study the whole questions(e.g 4 or 5 questions under the passage) before reading the passage.......... Or you study question 1 and move to the passage, question 2 to the passage again..... Question 3 etc

Do not use both options at the same time. Ensure you add the school - When you are done adding your schools, click "confirm order" to ensure the process is finalized.

hey guys whats up?
i just retook the gre yesterday and i actually improved .
q=161
v=152
0verall=313
wanted a 160+ for my quant and i got it. gotta say tho,i have never been the guy to stress over an exam. i have always been that nonchalant guy when it comes to tests but GRE man that gets to you BIG TIME. NEVER HAVE I EVER CAME ACROSS A MORE STRESSFUL TEST THAN GRE.
could be mainly cause i made it a big deal in my head or maybe it is. most people say it was the same for them too so thats that. cheesy

so yeah i got QVQVQ and i did not study vocabulary or anything this time around.
advice for all the math/engineering applicants- focus on the quant section since ,i believe, thats the admission committee would look for(most schools). i wish i scored 170 on than but it is what it is and i am happy regardless.
one thing i noticed your score does not reflect how many questions you got wrong ,some questions weigh more so getting them wrong means a lower score so practice hard questions to increase your chance of answering them correctly with the time you have.
as for study prep , nova(very helpful for the math section!!! specially for remainder questions which i got two of them yesterday) ,Manhattan all series and official ETS prep guide is enough.i think anything else would be an overkill.
and one last thing practice trumps reading/studying. evenif you are not familiar with the subject practice questions on that would go along way than to contemplate on the topic for days.
if yall have questions about gre ,i am here to share my two cents.
thanks.
on to the next headace.....SOP and THEM grin
