Those things you killed are baby snakes.

Mother's definitely lurking around somewhere watching with unbridled hatred and anger as you murder her lovely kids.

She's silently watching you and planning her revenge.

Maybe the perfect opportunity will present itself while you sleep tonight.

Let's wait and see.

I'm definitely following this topic.

LostAddict:
Is the direct PhD program available for all their programs like Computer Science/Software Engineering?

I am not sure. Check the program website.

sirkay360:
Why not ask your questions here so that others can gain from it..

Oh no it is not a question Sir, I would like you to help me look though my research statement.

sirkay360:
You don't need to send anything to WES. Usask doesn't need all that.

Yes it wasn't part of the requirements. Thanks a lot

sirkay360:
Then, start writing your research statement..
Mind you since you are applying for direct entry into PhD with your BSc, your research statement must merit the position..

Yes thanks a lot, I have started the write up, can I send you a mail?

sirkay360:
Why not Msc.
Just wondering.. Do you read through the department page.

Oh yes I read through, there is an option for a direct entry into their PhD program. The Professor I contacted encouraged me to apply.

sirkay360:
Wat is the supervisor's response?
Is 4.66 your msc Cgpa?

She said she's waiting for my application actually. I will be sending it by the end of next week. 4.66 is my undergrad cgpa

Good day Everyone, I recently took my GRE and TOEFL tests, scored 315 and 103 respectively, I am applying to University of Saskatchewan for PhD Analytical Chemistry. I have contacted a supervisor already. I also have a cgpa of 4.66/5.00 from Unilag. Any other thing I need to do?

Sherlock5577:
That's a good one!

Thanks a lot @Sherlock5577

So I got my TOEFL scores today, scored 103 (Reading 28 and the rest 25). I must say I did not really prepare for it. My GRE prep covered for my TOEFL prep a great deal.
On to applications now. Best of luck to all of us.

user4321:
.. length apparently is the simple trick.... I wrote 1100+ words per essay

Lol I wrote up to 6 paragraphs each. But I am sure they were not up to 1100 . Most likely 800

So my AWA came in today. Got a 4.5, what are they really expecting us to write.

NwanyiOkpa:
TOEFL is too easy to have a forum... kidding

Lol

Any TOEFL forum?

NwanyiOkpa:
I downloaded GregMat for Verbal but my score improved by just 2 and time keeps running out

Keep employing his strategy, you might not see improvement immediately but eventually it shows

NwanyiOkpa:
Hello bro, please what materials did you study with?

I used Barrons 333 and 800 for vocab and Manhattan book on RC and several youtube videos especially by Gregmat for RC.
For quant I used all 6 Manhattan series and solved a lot of tough quant questions. Quant was pretty easy, I am sure I fell into some ETS traps that was I scored 158 in quant.

This post is so vague and wrongly developed but I fear some people will believe it.

I am applying to University o f Delaware, West Virginia University, University of Kentucky and University of Wyoming, PhD Analytical Chemistry
My profile: GRE 315, CGPA 4.66/5, TOEFL coming up
Research Experience with the ministry of mining and undergraduate research experience as well. Any thoughts and advice pls?

orlahtohbadt:
Lovely, please share your experience and how you prepared and what books you used. Thanks

My first section which is AWA went very smoothly, however 2nd Section (verbal) was hellish especially the RCs, I felt I had banged the test already, but my Quant Section was so easy, confidence came back. To be honest do not panic in the exam hall at all. The questions are not so different from the practice sets you are already seeing. Just keep calm.

So I wrote my test today, scored 315
Quant: 158
Verbal; 157

quadoctane:
I had something comprehensive I was going to post before but I'd try summarise.

QUANT
The bulk of my preparation was for the quant section and I found the materials I used relevant.
Official ETS Guide
Manhattan 5lb
Manhattan GRE Blog (the comments section has some gold nuggets)
Barrons
Online videos to help with problem areas

VERBAL
Verbal preparation was scant, got familiar with the kind of questions; not sure I learned up to 50 new words (should have prepared better for my verbal).
ETS
Kaplan
Barrons

AWA
Got familiar with the type of questions...no special preparation.

PRACTICE TEST SCORES
First ETS 157Q 154V
Second ETS 155Q 159V
Other full practice tests averaged 158Q 155V

TEST DAY
QVQVQ - First quant section was hellish (left 4 questions unanswered), second was easiest and third was okay. The verbal sections were okay and I think I did better on the AWA issue response than on the essay.

Any special tips?
Get familiar with the difficult quant questions
Time management is key
Practice the verbal with Barrons (harder than what's on actual test day but relevant)

Thanks a lot for this. I have tried the Barron 6 practice tests. They seem kind of easier.

I have tried some YouTube videos, currently focusing on RC.

Hello house, I have taken quite a series of practice tests lately, my Quant consistently falls within 160-162 but my verbal score is always precisely at 158 and from review found out my RC really impedes my verbal score. Pls does anyone have a material I can use to improve my RC? Thank you in advance.

Time2win:
University of Kentucky, Illinois Institute of Technology will offer you admit with full funding, just try and score above 300 in GRE.

OK thanks a lot I will do that.

Good day house, just registered for the GRE, to be taken by september. Graduated with a CGPA of 4.66/5.00 Industrial Chemistry, applying to four universities. Recommenders are all Professors and also going to take TOEFL September. Any need for safe schools? Applying for Phd in Environmental Analytical Chemistry.

This is splendid. At least the constant pollution would be reduced.

Then Buhari has qualifications to be a herds man I suppose.

There are a couple of errors in the thread which I admit responsibility for. I get DMs to correct certain wrong sentences, words and phrases when spotted. The first post on this thread addresses the grammatical errors issue and I always stand corrected. cheers

OK then. Apologies if any offense taken.

nonye6194:
where did you read that

It's in your write up

Infrastructural masterpiece Very nice write up though
