Tesfayee: Your GRE is kinda low, but it takes a lot of courage to face GRE. I don't know much, but you'll have to make some research on possible schools were you could be funded with your profile. You may need to check msinus.com and gradecafe.com, connect with students from certain schools on LinkedIn to have an idea of what scores are competitive in such schools. Whatever you confirm from these sources, may inform your choice of either going ahead with the score or rewriting. I believe you would find schools were your profile may be fair enough. But these schools may be tier 2. I wish you the best in your endeavours. |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by TheZed(m): 8:19am On Sep 30, 2018 |
Icongold2006:total score is 120. Most schools require a minimum of 79 for admission. There may be further specific requirements if you’re considering seeking for funding. |

Hello house, I think I should begin by apologising because this message might be long. I have been patiently waiting for my complete scores before I'll post anything here. I can not over emphasize the importance of this thread and I hope it lasts as long as the GRE exam continues and beyond. I am corper serving in ph, took the GRE exam last week saturday. Scores are Quantitative - 164 (86%) Verbal - 156 (73%) AWA - 3.5 My AWA is really disappointing cause I think I wrote well, and followed Manhattan's guide to the essay. I'm confused a lityle sha. Anyways I started preparing since june using only the materials I got here, in my preparation when I took the first Powerprep, my scores was Q -149 V-151. Was disappointed cause I knew I'm better at Maths. Studied up to 5 hours daily, with some cheat days though. Then when I took my final powerprep got, V-150, Q-160, I just knew my verbal was in soup. On the exam day, everything was normal until my second verbal, when it started raining and I could barely ckncentrate because of the sound from the roof. I just guessed for most of the answers, cause I was really pissed off and the people there refused giving me and extra scratch paper. Anyways I thank God. My profile is Geology from Federal University Undergrad GP 3.84/4 (WES conversion, 4.73/5) One ublication pending I submitted my scores to University of Texas Arlington UT of the Permian Basin Colorado State Uni University of Delaware. I thank you all for your valuable informations, I dont know anybody's name except Scholarstica16, I'm singling him out because at a time, all I did was to isolate his posts and read everything cause I couldnt go through all >400 pages. I thank you brother for your contributions. Everyone else who have made this thread what it is. I would also welcome any advice on what next, already registered for TOEFL sha, would be taking it soon. 21 Likes 1 Share |

Leoney:Wow. This is good. It's great seeing a high score in a while. It would be a great encouragement to others. I am also for geology. Please begin to contact potential supervisors to get some form of commitment if you haven't started, and then apply early. Fall applications began in August for some schools.The importance of early and well prepared applications have been reiterated here, especially for a GA position. For the TOEFL, I found notefull videos very helpful. The materials are on the thread, but I can't recall the link. For GTA positions, you may need to get certain minimum scores in certain sections, e. g. a minimum of 24 in all sections. It all depends on the school's requirements. I believe your profile is really good and the sky is just your starting point. Just google gradcafe geology and open the first web address. You would see a lot of Admission decisions for various schools and profiles of some students awarded GAs or TAs. Yes we can Fall 19' 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by DONPablosugar: 5:07pm On Oct 01, 2018 |
Leoney: congrats man. solid profile. relax your mind for TOEFL... if you are like me... just listen to the videos while playing PES2018... and on the test day... attack the reading and speaking section powerfully...the other 2 sections are basically child's play. Your 118 is sure... at all at all na 115. bamijayy: Leoney: check out ETS website, register, then call @Ponpon... he will sort you out without stress. he is a correct brother that has helped alot of us here on Nairaland. by the way you can choose JKK building in ilupeju as your centre. though the place got burnt recently but I should think business has resumed fully there by now. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Spotlighte: 5:09pm On Oct 01, 2018 |
Leoney: Ayeeeeeeeeeeeee! Congratulations! 320 is very huge. I am encouraged by how your score got better even after not acing the powerprep tests. I'm facing same now. I worked on my first test two days ago and the score wasn't so encouraging. I'm spurred to practice again. I wish you success. Yes we can Fall '19. 1 Like |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by jonathanOz: 12:53am On Oct 02, 2018 |
After going through some pages of this thread I must say I've just realised that I have a lot of work to do. I graduated in 2014, studied Microbiology, with a CGPA of 3.2/5. Very poor right? I know I could have done better but some challenges made me have that poor result. I want to do my masters abroad (preferably the US, Canada, Australia and those top countries but I wouldn't mind other less competitive European or Asian countries). Of recent I've been doing some researches as regards requirements and all that. I got to understand that I need GRE, TOEFL and exams like that. I never knew seeking for Masters admission abroad is this demanding. I'm optimistic and very ready to do all within my power to get admission into a good school abroad in the nearest time possible but I need serious guidance because sometimes I get tired and confused. I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me answer some of these questions below... 1. With my second class-lower undergraduate result, can I easily get admitted into a good school abroad for M.sc in Epidemiology or any related biomedical course? 2. How easy is it to get scholarships( whether fully funded or partly funded ) and can I get one with my result? 3. What's the average cost of study in America or in Europe for masters. Just an estimate please I have lots of other questions but let me stop here for now. Thanks guys for the thread cc dexiebaba Shakaz spotlighte leoney |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by TheZed(m): 3:35am On Oct 02, 2018 |
jonathanOz:1) you should be able to get admitted to a school in US considering your grade point. However, how easy that will come, I can’t tell. 2) Funding depends on so many factors, gpa, Gre score, research experience, in some schools (toefl scores, previous awards and honors) and most importantly availability. |

TheZed:Thanks |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by shakaz(m): 7:16am On Oct 02, 2018 |
Dexiebaba:Thanks brother. I appreciate. Noted check your mail. p.s: For those around Port Harcourt, DM me I have lots of useful materials for the GRE I can share. Just be fast about it, because I might be out of town before 20th of this month. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by shakaz(m): 7:29am On Oct 02, 2018 |
jonathanOz:1. Lucky you, most USA school careless about class of degree. And from the look of things 3.2/5.0 would be 3.0+ on a 4.0 scale, which is what most schools request as the minimum. So just google "wes igpa converter" to know you CGPA on a 4.0 scale equivalent. 2. Admission is on a holistic basis in most schools. Provided you meet the minimum requirement of the dept. in GPA,GRE, Toefl...you stand a chance to get your application reviewed. Funding is dependent on a lot of factors, the most important being availability of funding in your research interest. Just note that PhD are more funded than Msc. However, Msc admission is easier than PhD. So your take! 3. The cost is usually on the university web page. An estimate for US schools is usually between $20 - 40k could be higher or less depending on school. (I assume you meant only tuition) My take! |

I was discouraged also, but read something online about someone who says it's the D day that matters most not your practice, though they matter a lot. But you're performance on the day off the exam that'll tell what your score would be. Spotlighte: 2 Likes |
