Sorry bro, may the Lord comfort you and your family. Also congrats on your admission + funding.

Amen. Thank you Sir @Mikkyboy.

USE VOCAB flashcards and builder apps as well.
Vocabulary.com - USE the GRE word list provided here. And why this is helpful because it let's you understand HOW a word is used apart from ROTE learning vocab. PLUS ETS don't tell you where it excerpts come from but It's from TOP News Papers like NYTimes, Washington Posts etc. and Vocab.com will be using such excerpts. Try reaching a score of 1-3 million.

That's a good advice. [url=https://galvanizetestprep.com/gre-test-prep/vocabulary-builder-app/#utm_source=Nairaland&utm_medium=Vocab%20App&utm_campaign=Vocab%20App]Vocab builder[/url] apps are very helpful in learning vocabulary with ease and in gamified way. Thanks for the post.

I am really happy for you pls check ur mail i just mailed you.

So the test day experience.

Couldn't really sleep much, I kept waking up at intervals, I left home around 6am as my exam was for 8:30am, I was on the mainland and my exam was in V.I,dragnet center. I got there few minutes after 8 due to the traffic. Oooh I ensured I took rice before leaving home cause I read that it was very important, I also took lucocade boost and chin chin with me for the break time.

When I got to the center, we were briefed, we kept our belongings in our lockers and we were assigned a working station. There was ear plug which was helpful during the exam although it was too tight and wanted to give me headache, so I removed it at intervals, i was also cold due to the AC

My issue task was sweet, wrote about 5 paragraphs with about 7mins to proofread, I am a fast typist(not too fast though)
My argument task was also cool, I wish a survey was stated though so I could tackle it well, but I tried my best. Expecting a 4 or 4.5.

So while preparing for GRE, I didn't know what to wish for, either quantitative as experimental or verbal. I know the verbal bores me alot and I noticed from my practice tests that I scored higher in my first two verbal than the last 1 when verbal was the experimental, which means I get tired of the questions as time goes on. Then I knew quantitative was my strong point, but I didn't know if I should wish for Quantitative experimental because I might also get tired and I needed greater score for my quantitative because of my field.

The first question was Verbal, I said in my mind that I was done for.

I think the first verbal wasn't that nice, I didn't utilise my time very well, the 1st quantitative also had some hard questions and surprisingly, I couldn't manage my time well too, it's surprising because all through my preparation, I always finish the Quantitative on time with at least 5 minutes to spare, so I will say my Quantitative was generally harder than what I saw in the practice tests.

For the verbal, I went with the advice on this thread to do the TC and SE first, then the short passages and then the long ones. So it meant in two sections, I just picked the answers for the long passages randomly. The second quantitative was also hard, I saw that I had one unanswered question few seconds to go, I just went to the question and picked any option , for the 3rd Verbal, I had enough time to go over all my answers again.

Let me talk about my expected score. I wanted at least 320, 155V 165Q, but when I saw my score, although I didn't meet it, I was genuinely happy as I smiled. My unofficial score was:

153V 161Q. I was not happy because of my quantitative but because of my verbal, because in my mind I was already preparing for 146 highest. So I would say it was an auspicious test for me and the verbal was fortuitous. Oooh I forgot to add that before the third section started, I was already hungry, so it's best to eat before the test, I took my energy drink and snack during the break too.

In all, I am happy with my scores, I sent my scores to four schools.

I applied for Masters in Statistics or Applied Statistics in some schools and Biostatistics in others.

PS: GRE was the only item remaining in all my applications, they have all been completed, all recommendations sent, application submitted and fees paid. So the GRE just sealed the applications.

Fall 2019, yes we can. Hoping to come here to share my good news before the end of the month. And ooh, if given the opportunity, I wouldn't retake the test, I am exhausted biko. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread in one way or the other. God bless you.

Congratulations again. How do I get access to the volume 2 for maths and Quantitative. I have just vol 1 for the two.

NoelJunior:


Amen. Thank you sir. I had Q160, V150 and AWA 4.0. I studied volumes 1 and 2 repeatedly (at least twice each), together with the ETS Maths Review.

Sorry, I have given it to the first person that signified. It's a personalised app, only one person can use it at once so they can track their progress.

Congratulations to everyone who have been granted admission and secured that bag (funding)..... Big ups to everyone
I also wish those waiting for admits here success soon, I really understand what it feels like to wait..
For those planning to take the exams for Fall 20', early preparation is basically the most potent weapon for this War!!!

Cheers all....I hope to share my success and defeats so far very soon.

Fall 19' we Win!!!!

I am interested in submitting an application (Spring) to two different departments in a university, but I am a bit worried about the implication?

Obviously, the statement of interest would be different, would this not give me off as a confused person?

I am interested in their biological Sciences as well as the Kinesiology program.

I would love to have your opinion on this please.

Hello everyone.
I applied to NCAT for MSC fall 19 and I have submitted my app since 4th of jan. I got a mail from them on 9th of jan that my GPA needs to be converted using online GPA calculator; I did that conversion and send it to the appropriate email address. Since then, my app dashboard has been showing "missing GPA" despite the fact that I've supplied that. I gave them a call and I was told that it takes few weeks for the internal team to evaluate transcript except I fast-track it by using WES....
please, who has experienced this scenario?

The internal evaluation takes time. however, are you sure you input all your grades correctly or are you certain you didn’t drop any grade ? Because if your conversion is different from theirs, they won’t accept it.

Also you have just 2 attempts to get it correctly, if you don’t achieve that, you will be required to use WES for your evaluation.

Obyknow:

oh! okay. thanks

I did it correctly sir. sent it to them via email but I didn't get a mail whether it was received or not. I periodically get mail that my app is incomplete (that's my fear).
