Hmmm. Rather disheartening. One cannot tell what the issue might be but like others have said, be positive.

My hunch counts for nothing at this point but I have a good feeling it will end well. Summon strength to prepare for the TOEFL and do well. You may get the good news about your GRE the very same day.

Thank you so much!

drhopeful:
Thank you so much!

I believe all will be well, they're probably surprised by the gap between the present and previous scores. Just focus on your TOEFL test and leave the rest to God.

That's a hasty response and it could very well be wrong. Most banks (save for Standard Chartered or so) use the subsisting black market exchange rate.

don't be angry sir, I was only helping and gtb is presently 320 sir

drhopeful:
So I called ETS again today and they told me my scores are on hold. No reason given but was told that when scores are held for further review, there is a chance they might be cancelled.

So really, is this what I get after months of sleepless nights trying to earn good scores? I can't even explain how depressed I am right now. I have TOEFL to write in a couple of days and I can't even concentrate now to read. What the hell is this? I have application deadlines in 3 frigging weeks!

Sorry guys for the rant. Needed to vent.

This is really quite sad and unfair. But I trust that the entire issue will be resolved pretty soon. In the meantime, just focus on your TOEFL and perform brilliantly as you did in the GRE.
Wish you all the best.

Hello people,

Has anyone just written the GRE, and completely lost on what next to do, as per selecting school, applications, payment, contacting profs etc.?, then drop a message here, so I can help a bro/sis. For Fall 2017 apps. Especially if you scored > 315.

At first I wasn't sure whether to post this or not, but after reading that some people on the thread are thinking of rewriting I decided to share my experience so they can gain from it.
Anybody that read my first post would know I wasn't satisfied with my quant score, so I decided to rewrite. I knew I didn't need that much further preparation, so I chose the earliest possible date after the 21-day rule. I finally wrote it again yesterday, about 25 days after the first. I had Q167 V158. The key to having truly great scores in the quant is practise questions! Throughout my second preparation I never opened any textbook, because I knew I already had the basic knowledge. I started with magoosh videos; I only watched about 150 of them before my first test, so I watched the rest. Then I subscribed to high speed internet and practised tirelessly with online resources. The good thing about online resources is, after seeing your scores you can review and get detailed explanation on all questions(including the ones you get right - you might learn a better/shorter way). I started with kaomanfen.com. The questions here aren't too tough, so by the time you solve 10-15 full lenghts, you should be having scores close to 170. (I skipped the AW and verbal sections of the full lenghts.) Then I went to Kaplan's site. They give you access to one full lenght for free, but you can access the other 6 full lenghts with the passcode "response". The six tests were extremely helpful. I had 162 in the first test, but after reviewing answers to all questions, I saw gradual increase in subsequent tests. By the time I got to the sixth full lenght, I had 170! I also did princeton review's online practise questions and a few other random ones.
For those preparing, you don't have to read ALL the textbooks that have been mentioned; stick to one or two and read it from start to finish(I used Nova in my own case). Then watch all the magoosh videos and then do a lot of practise questions. All the best!

Thanks for the advice.Please can you share the link to the kaplan free test. I have been trying so hard to get a free kaplan test but I have been unsuccessful. Please help out.

Thanks so much wonderful family! Donald Trump won the election and ETS released my scores! Lol. I am in a much better mood now.

I can relate to that. Have you got a test date yet? In this recession, 50k should be all that's needed to galvanize you. My money cannot come and go and waste.

Please do I need any app to open up this after I download ? Or what are the peculiarities of this download?
I want to sub a 1.5gb data to download dis....asking so dt I knw if dt will b enuf to do all

This is coming late...

The file is most likely compressed or zipped so you'll have to unzip it.

1.5gb data MighT not be enough, what happens when the download breaks midway? I used up almost 3gb when I downloaded because I tried multiple times.

If your network is strong, you can give it a try with 1.5gb data.

Your money must not waste.


Try your hand on a practice test, see where you still need improvement and focus on that.

How long have you been reading and when is your test date?

@Drhopeful am really happy for u mam now u can chill and apply as fast as possible.Best of luck in your applications.

Please any idea how long it takes for BY Mafit to submit test scores

Nitta08:

I do not understand your question. Please explain.

After taking GRE, how many days does one have to wait for BY MAFIT to send the test scores to the schools of interest?
Like ETS takes 10-15days

BY Mafit doesn't have anything to do with sending of score to your school of interest. All they do is register you for the exam. The rest is ets job.

You're welcome!

Every info you see on this thread is for the GENERAL GRE TEST. So, you're on point. If your school says nothing more, don't bother yourself, that's the one you should take. The other category of GRE test is not general, but specific to subjects like GRE Math, GRE Physics, GRE Psychology and the rest. Except your proposed department specifically ask you to write those subject tests, don't go near them.

Welcome, I also wrote the GRE recently.

You'll have to pay for the exam, the most popular means of payment currently is thru B. Y. Mafit for 50k since most banks have a limit on their card transactions.

Also plan to write the TOEFL if you have funds but some schools can waive it. Writing TOEFL helps you have a shot at Teaching Assistanceship (from the much I have read).

Look for more schools to apply to to increase your chances of being admitted and possibly funded. You need to settle on these schools before writing the test so you can send your result to them for free on or before test day.


Ask if you have further questions and I'll try my best to answer.

@Happyday. I see you. *wink*
