zinaunreal:
bro nobody dey back that guy. He is just an idiot

sigh, he might just bail out when the whole thing gets rough or he might psych his people that they should defend their land and move ahead. A Nigerian has done it and some people are still holding on to a flying man's ideology

Jammeh either has some countries backing him or he has some people who are waiting for others to strike, because I am not understanding

Anyone that believes this story is either an investor in MMM or would soon go and PH

kpolli:
Hey guys,

Who knows how I can get GRE text books in Nigeria now?

Thanks fam!

lagos (Tejuosho - Yaba and Cms) but if you are getting a book go with the OG. Check the gre thread for pdf versions of gre books posted online.

Shubbys:
can I apply to any university in us without taking any exam in Nigeria

you can apply without an exam but you'll need exams to get admitted. So you can start your application now and submit test scores later.

Schrodinger1:
Evening All,
I visited the Magoosh site for GRE prep not long ago but couldn't. i realized its not free, one must have an account and pay for anykind of material needed. Pls, how do you guyz do it? how do i lay hands on the videos and other test materials. Thanks.

use the search box on here it has been posted severally and you can use gre.kmf.com they have magoosh questions

happyday:
I choose to be happy, cos I owe myself that. Good news on your AWA! Great score there!

You've been calling those profs, or emailing them? Your best bet is to call them, send them texts, just anything, that doesn't require email. Even though they would still have to send those LORs via email. Better still, I suggest you choose a day. Try to get those email requests from your target schools in their emails first. Get your PC down to your school, and do all you can to make them do it. I think it's easier that way.

And yes, letters from faculty members weigh a whole lot more than from any other source. Why? Grad programs don't give a damn about our character, extracurriculars, or other soft skills. Of course, it would be nice to have those, but then they're interested in your research experience and/or potential. The rule of thumb is for every 3 letters, 2 should come from those you've worked closely with in research-heavy environments or something similar.

Good luck!

schools are usually specific in the lor they require, some request solely academic ref while some go with professional and academic.
I have never served on any admission committee and I don't think any one on here has but following the instructions on the portal of the school pays and you can get professional info on quora

Gre and toefl materials, although some are available on other pages but for those just joining the thread you can use this too

There are for real,pple have said this times without number, only if you read the previous page... they are legit

they are real and also very annoying!!!!. Imagine them helping me to reg toefl without letting me know I should choose schools before test day to send my score, I was thinking it was like gre, after test day.

layez:
Hw cn i gt d bk?

it's online, pdf although their explanation for the reading section is not good, just tackle the reading section question by question no need to start looking for main idea and Co as they proposed, the questions would take you through them. But they did a good job on questions types and all

georgesegun87:
Please what university can I apply to without Gre or toelf for any biology course..thanks

you would be surprised that biology courses even request for subject GRE, use Petersons.com Google.com hotcoursesabroad.com you'll see biology courses and you'll check for their requirements.

Oyin04:
Hello.Am planning on writing GRE by April.Am a corper currently serving.I have downloaded some of the materials, but I need techniques/strategies on how to cover up and prepare well before April.Thanks

Nova good foundation for maths, Princeton good foundation for verbal, woes power made easy good foundation for words, coadcoax good foundation for RC, 5lb and 1014 good practice materials. Towards the exam become ets material biased then take timed practice tests.

kunbeeee:
Time didnt permit me to source for materials. How did your test go?

great too, I prepared in less than a week

Tunmise100:
My name is tunmise just finished frm the unilag wit a cgpa of 4.5/5.0 and planing to write my GRE exam in june. pls help me with the advice i need and preparation strategies to get at least 330.
pls also help with the price of the gre exam nw in naira. needed urgently

greatest akokite, by mafit is 50k, Holla I could guide but I didn't have 330

kunbeeee:
I was at jkk to take toefl this morning. I must say the real exam was a little bit more difficult than I expected.
The questions for both the listening and reading sections wer a little bit confusing, infact the only section I found very easy was the writing section.
I used roughly five days to prepare for the test and from my experience, I dnt thnk it requires a lot of time, its just about having a strategy for answering questions (Notefull videos really helped). So I'm thankful I didnt spend so much time studying.
I just hope I get up to my target score.

I took the test the same day, thanks for the person that shared the magoosh account, although magoosh is way tougher than the actual test. Cracking the toefl by Princeton is the best prep for the toefl in my opinion

slimmy2005:
Which rich? They are so carried away by the pictures and the bright views. I literally went off social media and changed my number cos I was getting too many overwhelming messages even from people I don't know, asking me about how they can come here or telling me to send money.

I still use my naira master card here. Atleast I stopped after the exchange rate went crazy. Well, that helped my spending. I don't know my issues with clothes and shoes. I buy now, I hate in two weeks.

How the hell will you come to America with $300. There is no Aluta in US. You don't pay fees, you get purged out straight.

This cracked me up, lmao, ALUTA !!!!!!!.

tmabs:
Hello House.
You guys are amazing.
Please does anyone know universities in america that would accept 2.4 cgpa for graduate degree admission for a student from a Nigerian university and not also require Test of english results , GMAT, GRE or require translation of university transcripts by WES.
Thanks so much.

you might end up with a professional masters, but try searching using Google. You should also state your field that way you might get specific help. You should also try to have a semester you are working towards so you'll see if you could even give some tests a try. I'm sure you can if you have time on your side

OluDare01:
Ndawe,
With your cgpa,you'd get into a good school here.
I have a friend with a similar GRE score doing her PhD in a good school.
Are you coming for fall 2017?

Information is very pertinent, thanks for the motivation you gave, in addition to what you said I would like to add that a top GRE score is good, it helps one stand out in the pack but only GRE doesn't make a good application, the overall application does. Be informed, research schools, get an academic fitted resume with required experience, get a strong sop to bolster you choice and show your clear goals and direction. Establish good communication with the grad coord to know about funding, space, and deadlines or extensions.

A minimum GRE score is usually set for programs but funding from your department most times depends on its availability and your program. A 340 might not mean being funded.


The importance of a high gre score can't be over emphasized, it opens doors and creates better options

centboy123456:

GboyegaD:
It is not bad to start learning how to read volumes because it is something you must learn to do.

that is very true, but some times sir, there can be better abridged answers

happyday:
Too late, boss. You should seriously consider shifting to a later date. 2-3 months of consistent prep is the rule, not the exception for the GRE. Still, you can check the first post on this thread for what you'll need >> https://www.nairaland.com/1832477/how-achieve-high-scores-gre

Cheers!

This is true, but what if he has been preparing before now?

happyday:
Good work! First off, I urge to consider quit writing like this, it doesn't much add up to your ambitions as a decent grad student. You must have been pretty motivated during your UG days, for the Prof to think you're really good without the GRE. He might be seriously considering you for a Teaching Assistantship position, hence the TOEFL. To that end, you'd need to score particularly high on your Speaking section, while not losing grips in the other sections.

I think the cheapest you'll get is with B Y Mafit Nig. for 50k. Google them, you'll see how to register. Do your due diligence though, as I've only read their reviews, not actually registered through them.

Cheers!

This writing thing Don come serious gan ooh. Lmao. I always laugh so hard when I see the whole writing attack, advice and Co. People are different, but overall it's helpful to write well, but writing on nairaland and this thread Don turn herculean task, lmao...

By mafit is legit sir

Setaje:
The Nigerian uber drivers will soon shut down uber. I am so certain about it. I don't no how they are able to turn of the meter. I took one and he told me that anytime I need a cab I should just call him and I don't have to pay so much. That it will be his personal money and time. From what he said, that means they also do personal businesses at the expense of uber and possibly manipulate the meter!!!!

Which meter, the agreement between the driver and uber is via the app, we get you clients from our app we take 25%.

At the end of the day, some drivers can go offline and go around their normal 100% hustle, they are not cheating uber that way. Well most drivers are on different portals like taxify and Co, so you do what favours you. When it's not that uber is the one that leased or bought a vehicle for you

You think uber is a saint Abi?

Op Don finally cast matter but I just happy say you no get all the orientation, why spoil hustle for some. Lmao, someone would quote me now and insult me. Make una free people, maybe when people start having hiccups getting uber you'll know.

For now make we dey enjoy am dey go.

Apply wisdom to this selling and buying of bed space on Nl, don't go out as quickly as you have just come in... Be smart and do it on the lowest key, and don't rush for so many greedy folks here, when you finally get into school you'll get a space, you'll make friends, get even affordable rates... Boys usually don't have problems
