Well to be honest,I'll advice you to target a different date and also target fall admission. U don't have to put urself under any sort of pressure. That money is toomuch to end up being pressurized.

For any meaningful recommendation, you need to take a diagnostic test first, to ascertain your current level.

Go to the ETS website, download the Powerprep software, and take the first practice test. Report back your scores and we can go from there.

For the Quant, subscribe to the Magoosh plan. Run with Magoosh for the remainder of January. Purchase and take the 6 Manhattan practice tests from the beginning of February to your test date.

An MSc in Germany? GRE? Have you checked the app requirements? Do you mind dropping one of your likely schools you want to get into?

Happy New Year,bro! Kindly,
/ How can I choose schools in locations with better chances of landing jobs after grad schools? Like you were able to see with KSU?
/ Was it compulsory for you to take the TOEFL, cos I see that most US schools waive it for Nigerians, since English is our language of instruction?
Thanks!

I wanted to apply to KSU too, but I missed the priority deadline (for full consideration of funding). You could check out this link: https://crunchprep.com/gre/2014/universities-gre-scores-300-to-310
Go to each school's website and checkout their priority deadline (for full funding consideration).

Some schools might waive TOEFL for Nigerians, but there's no harm in writing it, 'cos it boosts one chances. NCSU waives it for Nigerians, but I saw somewhere in their site where it's required for TA. (Just my opinion)

As per jobs, I can't comment authoritatively on that (we are in the same boat - applicants). One can always move to cities with better job opportunities.

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Nobody: 5:25pm On Jan 05, 2016
Happyday: When applying, it makes sense to actually consider the location of your
school, given the distance between states in the US. After school, what next?

Having said that, if you have no other choice, then you have to go school in states
that are not mainstream, that does not mean you cannot get a job after schooling.

Places like California, New York, Georgia, Maryland, Texas, Illinois offer more
opportunities than places like Arkansas, Alabama, Kentucky, Kansas etc.

Ultimately, if you go to a top school and you have skills, your job chances are
pretty high.

By the way, most good schools in the US require TOEFL for admission into their
graduate programs. A good number might not even consider a score less than 100.
When applying to an Ivy league or top 10 school, you do not want to have less than 110.
Stop running away from tests, so you can save cash in the long run.
Good luck.
