Don't feel discouraged rather let the great dream you want to achieve be the driving force to keep you motivated.

Just like drhopeful said, don't feel intimidated rather tell yourself daily that you can achieve it. I'm looking forward to you scoring above 310 and I wish you the best.

Mehn its being a long time since i came to this thread..Just thought i should chip in one or two things..its not enough to just be preparing for GRE without researching for schools by the side. you wouldn't want to waste the 4 free slots to send your scores. Dont be like me, i wasted the whole 4, never applied to any of the schools.There will still be alot to spend money on, be wise. And by the way '5lb Manhattan' is a must to ace the Quant session. That book is the truth. Only the book is enough for quant but you can combine with Nova GRE too. All the best.

Ample study time, over three months, lots of advice was sought from past takers, marked determination and I had to shirk girls too.lol
The time I had made me have access to eclectic set of resources.
1. For blogs, I was always checking through magoosh and prepcrunch. If I know how good magoosh was, I would have subscribed for the premium package, just 15k. Got to know barely a month to my exam after my first powerprep practice test. Was shocked to have 151v 153q. E be like film. Also, the facebook group was invaluable. I solved questions from various sources there. Try and start practice tests early enough. I took the risk of delaying it due to proscastination which almost cost me. Get manhattan tests for barely 5k and start doing them early, one per month at least.
2. I started out with Barron and Kaplan. I bought both hard copies at cms. During this time, I also had soft copies of Nova and priceton/cracking the gre. The challenge then was there was no stable supply in my area to read the soft copies on my lappy, the cost of fuel was becoming a huge burden. I also used gruber and they have very wonderful strategies. To solve the power ish, I had to relocate to Ife where power dey wella. Nice ambience, superfluous power supply, what else?
The king of all materials for me was the manhattan 8 books, which I was only opportuned to go through in about a week, due to time constraints. In addition with manhattan 5lb, these moved my quant score from 153 to 156 when I took the second powerprep. But I was still perturbed as my target was at least 160 in Q.
After my second pp, I did not care about my verbal section again. I went to the file section of the fb group and downloaded:
...the official gre guide by ets
....two other books from ets that contain questions for both verbal and quant
....I went through 5lb over and over again. Bought a jotter and wrote questions that were tricky there. This jotter was my companion a week to the test.

Test day: The anxiety before the test day na die. Anybody that says he was not a bit nervous just dey form bravado. I already swore to retake in feb if I had less than 160 in Q. My area is quite far from the central part of lag, na ijegun after ikotun. I had to go and stay with a family friend at lawanson, surulere the previous night. Unfortunately, mosquitoes did not make me get more than 3hr sleep, maybe coupled with anxiety sha. I left home for obanikoro by six like say na by first to reach go determine who go pass. By seven, i had got to JKK, my center. No one was even there.
Strolling around, I went to a bus stop and sat with some boys at a motor garage smoking igbo. I returned to the center by nine and I met so many people also there for the test. We were checked in after extensive briefing of the rules.
On getting to 38A, my desk, I started my test. Writing was ok. Na the argument task wan tough small. I could articulate the author's conclusion quickly enough.
Luckily, quant was the first section I encountered. The questions were quite fair, just lenghty. I rushed through them in less than twenty five mins, making sure I got the three graph questions. I went through each question again, not resolving. I used my calculations on my scratch paper to check and discovered more than 3 silly errors. The verbal na die especially RC. The people wey dey set those RCs na saddist. I just calmly did it sha. I even hide time sef.
The next Q section hard die. I just dey sweat inside AC. I tenaciously solved as many as I could sha. The next verbal was ok. Then the experimental section was Q too, that was ultra hard. I just dey laugh sey if they grade me on this last section alone, I would barely make 150.
I viewed the scores and I was elated. The verbal scores no too make me happy o but I bone joor. I almost forgot to even send scores sef. Na the examiner talk sey 'will not send your scors?'
I sent my scores to my intended schools and left the test center.

My hand don almost break...typing with nokia palasa na die. I hope you intending test takers prepare better and score far higher. I am giving back my experience because I believe it is my duty to do so. Good luck my people.

I noticed that a lot of people come here, get information, write the test and move on with their lives. I find this rather irresponsible and selfish. While no one is obliged to post his test experience here, you should remember that if people like Danjaninja behaved the same way, this thread would not exist. Our selfishness is responsible for a lot of problems in our lives. If you cannot do something as little as giving back in form of advice, will you be able to sacrifice for bigger causes? This is really shameful. I know at least two people who came here, scooped info and disappeared after they got what they wanted.
Aye o ri bayii o.
