Send at the test centre. The department still knows how to link the official copy with the online application. If you send the scores after the application you'd pay $27 for each score report which is above N14k.
14k shocked? At what rate....
I wouldn't advice anyone to send scores at such high rate. I sent all my scores via BY Mafit at 8k per school, and with access bank visa card, it's 8,775NGN.

Whatever you do, please don't apply to university of Bridgeport. That's my school. Funding is very difficult here.

8k! shocked and I was looking for how to send mine for almost 3weeks.
A friend in the u.k helped me send @ 450 to a dollar (x3 schools). These are the tips we need here.

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by OGreene: 7:17pm On Feb 08, 2017
One can equally send scores with BY MAFIT. Its N8,000

Or use a GTB /Access card on ETS website, $27 @325 it will be N8,775.

GRE is 50k including a free Kaplan material
TOEFL is 45k including a free Kaplan material and a one month free lecture(every Tuesdays and Thursdays).

All the best with your process.

Congratulations boss. It is easy getting assistantship if u go der, that's if u eventually make that decision. My friend who got admitted to TAMUK on a similar deal got a RA just b4 he moved. Another got GA plus tuition waiver uppon arrival. I am quiite hopeful the oustanding applications hold something better. This is a breathe of fresh air, u can start making plans of packing ur bags now smiley

How does these 3 scenarios work?

I was thinking of how to ask while still here. I have a strong belief TAMUK would come thru and be sweet also.

As long as you resume early, most times there is still some assistantship offer left.

The guy who got RA was through another friend who was an outgoing research student of the superior. Apparently, he assists him with the recruitment of new RAs based on their excellent working relationship.

They know a lot of foreigners will jump automatically at d offer if it looks very easy, maybe it's why some give assistantship uppon resumption and after 1st year.

Studying may have little impact but early preparation has helped you especially since you are considering 2018. I would recommend you gave yourself 4/5months of less study and more full-length tests i.e both essays and VQVQE as oft as possible. Full-length tests trump any other preparatory methods.

When I was preparing for the GRE I got near perfect scores in my Q (PowerPrep Test 1 169 and one of the Kaplan Tests 170) but that was because I skipped the verbal and did it at a later time. Preparing for the GRE that way won't help you because it would give you a false sense of security seeing that I was full of energy when I tested myself both times. If I had done the Full-length tests I am sure I may have scored lower because I would have been tired by the 2nd Q especially if one ends up getting 3 Qs and not know which one is the experimental.

Practising Full-length tests will enable you test your endurance the same way it would be on the actual day and if you discipline yourself during the practice you won't feel the impact of the grueling 4hr exams on the D-day.

Apart from helping with one's endurance level Full-length tests actually programme you to devise strategies that could help on test day and show you topics that you may not be fully-cognizant of, better than just pouring through various books trying to understand the intricacies. For instance, some people skip the first 8 Q questions that are quantitative comparisons and tackle them last.

Finally, Full-length tests are near perfect indicators of whether you are close to the 320+ target score. Forget Adrenaline, if you are not hitting 320+ during your practice, chances are, you won't hit it on the main day. In fact, one's score could improve or reduce by a margin of 4 on both sides during the main day. Everyone I know that hit say 160+ in the V had done so consistently during practice. Same goes for the Q. Obviously there would be outliers to this theory but the evidence is clear even on this thread. The guy who hit 330 early January said he was getting above 160 in his V throughout his practice and I believe he hit 165 in one of his PowerPrep V's which he replicated on the main day. Same goes for the guy that had 167 in his Q.
the full length tests are they the same as the questions in Manhattan prep? Please where can I get them? I'll appreciate your assistance

Yes I believe Manhattan had good Full-length tests even though I didn't use them (but the one I am referring to is not the one contained in the book but a real time simulation of the way the GRE test will be- having a timer, instructions, Essays, and both Q and V questions). I also know some people on here used Kaomanfen.com but I also do not know how they gained access to it. Perhaps just type it that way on your browser and see where it leads you. I did however, use the Kaplan test samples and you should read the posts by Seeker88 on this page to understand how to access them. Here is the link:

https://www.nairaland.com/1832477/how-achieve-high-scores-gre/141

The best full length test possible is the PowerPrep II and if you have not used it better for you as it should never be wasted since you are given only 2 full length tests. They mirror the real GRE experience better than any other tests. I would recommend you took one of the tests midway into your practice and the 2nd one 2 days before your actual test. You can download it from ETS.org for free and it works without internet connection (provided you have launched it with your internet). It is also about 28MB so it doesn't take much of your data.

JKK will do exactly that. I wrote my 2 GREs there so I know. I won't guarantee it would be 100% efficient though. So prepare as uncomfortably as possible.
