No Sir.

No you can't. When I was to write, I went with another form of identification but wasn't allowed to write the exam. Couldn't go and get my International Passport and come back in time to still meet the exam so I had to forfeit. They're very strict on this and no grammar or form of begging would get you into the hall to sit for the exam with any other form of ID apart from your Int'l Passport.

Pls can someone use the new national id card to enter the test hall at test day?

Oh, so sorry to hear this. So, have you been able to re-schedule and write it?

Good afternoon house, pls I need Magoosh videos. The links for Magoosh videos in previous pages are not available again.

Please I also need 5lb Manhattan, ETS GRE Review and finally Powerprep. Please someone should kindly help me with these materials.

Thanks.

I don't understand why because on the mail notification they didn't specify to bring international passport, they only said any form of valid ID. Some were even trying to show them the mail page but they didn't buy it. It's so unfair, some missed the exam.

Please house, what do i need to take with me to the exam. Make dem no send person back.

Intl passport.
Email notification showing registration details.

You're good to go. Nothing more. And pencils if you're taking paper-based test.

They specified it everywhere and repeated it to annoying levels. I am surprised many didn't go through the ETS website. They listed all the forms of ID that could be deemed eligible. Remember you want to go to the USA to do what is majorly, research.

You don't even need the Email notification. They already have the names of all the candidates for that particular day.

I am sorry you experienced that. I read about people's experiences here and even on quora.com in order to forestall such eventualities. Even at that, I made a costly mistake in my time and left my energy drink in my bag that was kept in a certain store inside the hall. They refused to let me go in to get it during the break so I ended up writing the whole 4hr 30mins test on an empty stomach.

I won't let anyone make the same mistake I made.

drhopeful:
I suggest you give ETS a call to find out what is going on.

Did all that and as I type this I am yet to see the result. Apparently, the time most people used to submit their tests in my centre raised red flags to ETS so a board has been set up to investigate it. If their resolution falls against me, I might be required to retake the test either on their tab or on mine. Any which way, the nearest date they might give me will be in January (I know this because I read about some centre that had an issue in October and they rescheduled them for Dec 2nd).

I now need the same hope I implored you to have the other time.

@TheZed and Gunbiz, sorry I created the email to this NL account on a whim. I don't seem to remember the password to it. I will respond once I find it. Bear with me, please.

Your last line ended it well. Be strong and hopeful, things will surely get sorted out by God's grace. ETS needs to, at least, carry people along even if they are investigating anything. Your result is on its way bro.

Evening guys. I planned on writing my gre on 18th. I just want to share my reading method with people who hav interest. I can't really say it works cos I have not written my exam but I know it's a good pla. I use roughly8 hours daily to study. I study verbal in the morning cos it's my weak area (mostly 9-1pm) and quant at night. I study vocabs (500 essential words in Manhattan)during the first 2 hours cos vocabs get soporific. I use 5lb to refresh. This is what I do daily. Lastly I take full teston Saturday and Sunday. You can give it a try tho. Money must not waste

"Your head is too valid!" Nice plan.

I would just add that you create some time during the week for review; review concepts, mistakes and new ideas you came across for that week.

All the best!

Thank you so ,much. I didn't even bother plus I had no proper guidance or information then, so I just let it go. I avoided any applications that'd have required me to write it again and hopefully it remains that way; this was 2012/2013. Information is power

happyday:

Oh, so sorry to hear this. So, have you been able to re-schedule and write it?

Exactly, I was very naive then and paid for it. They're so rigid; oh wow, so sorry about that and I sincerely wish you all the best. It will all be worth it in the end

Dedicate 2 hours daily. Download new ready4gre app in playstore and practice more.

How have you been preparing for those months? As you inch closer to test date, I recommend that rather than looking for the words to stick, practice more questions on how those words function in sentences and passages, rather than standing alone.

Start with Barron's. Do this for 3 days. Then, move on to Manhattan 5lb Verbal questions.

Cheers!

Alright, It depends on your intended course though. Can I suggest; that you give the test a try, now that you've been powerfully informed? What do you say?

Hope you have learnt the topic basics for quants. Algebra, Circles and co. Make sure you cover ETS booklet and Manhattan prep.
