Deanny:
Is there no runs for gre?

Probably seen and responded sir!

Officialhow:
I already sent a mail

Congrats man! keep mailing connecting and be application smart!!!

Like I'll always say TOEFL is JS3 english. Learn question types, as a Nigerian practice speaking and leave like 3-7 days on everything...GRE crumbs can be used to ace the exam.

Mikkyboy:
Hi all,
I'm a silent but ardent follower and reader of this thread.
i'm a very busy person so I didnt have all the time to prepare for my GRE and TOEFL.
GRE:
Preparation time : almost 3 months off and on
Scores:Q :152 V : 152 : AW :3.0\
Materials Used : All materials from nairaland.
Lesson Learnt: I didn't devote time for practice.I did only two PowerPrep tests,(not full tests).In summary my prep was awful.
TOEFL :
Preparation time: 1 week
SCORES :Reading:26 Listening: 28 Speaking : 26 Writing : 28
Materials Used : Notefull Videos
Lesson Learnt : No need to Study too much for TOEFL if you actually graduated from university and earned your degree.Just understand the exam setup.

GPA: UG: 3.3/4.0
PG (Msc): about 3.68/4.0

On Applications:
I cannot over emphasis what I've gained from this forum.It has been said time without number contact Profs that you hope to do research with.
With this in mind I contacted profs,some replied while some didn't. But fortunately for me even before applying, I can say I already have two profs that have accepted me already with funding I hope.(because this is the koko, and we discussed about it already).
On this note I wish all 2019 hopefulls all the best in this application round.

I hope to comment in the future that one of our veterans here came to pick me up at JFK..(winks)

Wow, so Sir ponpon na fellow akokaite, well-done sir, your boy just finished last year. I greet you scholastica. Going through your story on this thread from fall 2017 was interesting to say the least. More grace Sir.

1001 extras and more! Super undilited OT! All the materials you can think.....and its cheaper. Above all, find what works for you! That's why there are so many authors out there but the proper orientation is sacrosanct

mfarad:
Ejanla! What's up? What extras come with yours?

Yen Yen Yen

sillysassysally:
Registering with B.Y. Mafit gives you access to free classes, textbooks and 1 month worth of Magoosh premium access!

Issa goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice one boss

Quoran:
Hello Guys. I guess everyone has settled in ? For those still trying to getting admission and funding, don't give up. Those of us who have benefited from here will do our best in helping others too.

By the way,I did change my school to Stanford. Remember the guy I was always mailing at Stanford? He was able to get funding for me as one of his prospective students left for Cambridge in the UK. So I'm super elated and glad. Though I wasted some money processing stuff to go to TAMU, I'm optimistic going to Stanford is worth it.

I know Lowell is not too benevolent with funding

Schrodinger1:
Morning Savants. Good job for keeping this thread alive since 2016. My GRE is in few days time (10). I need advice with regards to reporting scores. The plan is to send scores to good (safe) schools that wont request for hard copy transcripts before deciding one's admission status. Schools that'll make do with soft copy (official) first. Hard copy is around 25k in My school

However, the here's what i've got down.

TAMU College Station
The University of Texas at Austin
USC vertibi
OregonTech.
UMass Lowell
UMaryland College Park..

Erudites in Diaspora, pls help evaluate. @Time2smile,
Happyday, SirRiddy, Ponpon, scholastica16, Qouran & everybody with info.

The first 3 schools are for Petroleum Engineering (M.Sc)
The last 3 are Renewable Energy Engineering Ph.D

B.Sc Elect/Elect (3.38/4.0)WES
National Diploma-Elect/Elect (3.63/4.0)

Thanks.

jamanuka:
Thanks bro.

No hard feelings bro. Caution was based on personal experience, that was when I learnt sharing your login details with someone was a breach of privacy.

The same way using e copies of prep materials on the internet is...

DONPablosugar:
senior man. I always feel your loyalty. Well pls what if I already have an ets Toefl account as I sat that exam in march. do I have to open another account on ets for GRE... given it is on the same ets website. Is that the norm... pls clarify. thanks

Sure you do fam. Gre is a different struggle. Lol

Nice scores man! You did a good job! And your caution on registration wasn’t unnoticed. The thing is some people are GENUINE.

jamanuka:
Hi People,

So I was waiting to get my official scores to ensure any info I was putting out won’t be incorrect.

I took my GRE on Aug 10th at JKK house and scored a 326 ( V167, Q159), AWA 4/6.

The following materials helped with my study;
Verbal
- Magoosh GRE flashcards ( I used this while in the bus, boring meeting, toilet, intact any free time I had)
- Manhattan 5lb. The RC is really damn good and exposes you to all the tricks you will need on tests day. The RC and TC are good too.
- Official materials. The other books focus on heavily on vocabulary but the official materials helps you learn usage of words. Keep an eye on the tips in the sentences so as to know the right word to use in that context.

Quant
- Manhattan 5lbs. Go through all the questions here. It pays to review thoroughly any question you got wrong.
- Official materials. The questions here are good too.

It will also be good to point out that I was already studying for GMAT before switching to GRE. That helped with the quant and RC in verbal.

Practice tests are quite important. I took the two powerprep tests and also bought Manhattan practice tests (has about 6 tests).

Finally I will love to say something about registration. I know it saves money to register with the guys that do it at a low price but again consider this what if you run into problems with that and your account gets blocked. Between the trouble of having your account blocked which means you might no longer realize your American dream and the extra naira you might pay for registration, which is worth it.

Let’s keep sharing our experiences so others can learn. The things I read on this thread greatly aided with my preparations.

shakaz:
Congratulations Jamanuka. I would like to enquire if the manhattan 6 test you purchased is still active. My test is in few days time and I would need full length test to practice. I don't mind paying for it.
