Hello , I am new here . Currently reading for GRE . I have only 6weeks to prepare . Please I need guidelines . What material is the best for study ? My target is 330 . I don’t want to read aimlessly. For people who had very good GRE score what was the secret? Did you just use only the official ETS materials . How do I get the formulas for the Quant . I have a couple of materials that someone shared from a google drive which I downloaded . Please which should I focus on . Secondly please does any one know the university in the us that offer full tuition waiver and GA or TA with stipend for MSc in mechanical engineering or MSC in CHemical Engineering? I intend to go in for spring session 2020 and most application deadlines are like oct 1st . Please I need guideline on how to get full funding . 2 Likes |

Talksub:You're welcome here. If you're just starting your preparation, I can assure you 6 weeks would most likely be too little time to achieve this score. The best way you'll know this would be when you take practise tests. You'll get most of the information you need by reading through at least the last 150 pages. Due to your time constraint check page 428, but I'll strongly advice you read through more posts. All the best!! 4 Likes |

Good evening guys. I am new here, I have a CGPA of 2.93/5.0, I wrote GRE last year I had 279 AwA: 3.0. I believe it was poor because I only prepared for just 2months. I plan to rewrite my GRE, with my CGPA and hopefully if I have a better GRE score like over 300, will I be able to get schools with funding? My propose course: Msc computer science or information security or Cybersecurity Pl3ase I will also materials that will make me achieve over 300. Thanks 2 Likes |

Heyy guyss!! Trust y'all doing good So i want to apply for an Msc Computer Science/Software Development/Engineering in the US, Im yet to take the GRE/TOEFL tho, but will soonest... I am in contact with some schools already. North-Eastern University for example does not require the GRE nor TOEFL (considering im from Nigeria) for the program im interested in (Computer Science Align - designed for prospective graduate students with no CS background) but they only offer Scholarship worth a percentage (roughly 25%) of Tuition to their top tier applicants..They have flexible payment options (in monthly installments, you pay as you go)..I was advised by their Financial aid Coordinator on taking private loans to finance my Program... I am already strongly thinking of Pushing applications now against Fall 2020, to atleast be a good candidate for the Tuition discount. Has anyone here ploughed this route or know anyone that has? If so, is it advisable to apply for a private loan? Someone with experience kindly come to my aid.. I ll still write the GRE and try to get great/near-great scores like my Ogas here......I would appreciate recommendation for very good schools (top 100) where i can get funded with a hopefully good Profile. So far My profile is thus; Bsc (Geology, UNILAG) => 4.55/5.0 Wes Unofficial => 3.74/4.0 GRE => NIL TOEFL => NIL P.S You might notice the career change but yeah, that's what i want. Thank you Cc - All the big men them!! |

ugonna1054:I looked at the program and the tuition is roughly $74k,this doesn’t include the very high cost of living no matter the campus chosen(Seattle,Boston,Silicon valley). Taking loans will always look easy till it comes to payment. My advice, concentrate on the GRE and get requisite funding for the courses you want to pursue . But if you’re bent on changing to CS,you can look at the bridge to Tandon program which costs $1500 but requires you to be in the United States or UPenn’s MCIT program (which is a more loan worthy course). Another option: switch to MIS. |

pierre92:Thank you bro...I will look at the Tandon program What is MIS please? |
| Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by calculator123(m): 7:47pm On Jun 06, 2019 |
ugonna1054:bro don't put yourself in a situation where you get loan trapped. Write the GRE and make sure you do well. I believe you will get some funding even if it means a change of school |

ugonna1054: It's kinda sad seeing a Palaeozoic brother previously abiding by the laws postulated by Nicolas Steno change his ways! It's your decision to make. Unfortunately, I don't have any advice concerning CS courses, but I'd want to make some input. Why don't you consider another school? With your CGPA I believe you can get a school with sound researchers in your area of interest, which would also offer you a Graduate Assistantship. (Although as mentioned earlier you'll need to ace the GRE and TOEFL, write a strong statement of purpose and have powerful recommendations, among other things). As the law of Uniformitarianism applies to the case of VISA applicants, it may be difficult for you to convince Consular Officers when you collect a large loan, than someone with an assistantship offer (I stand to be corrected). Moreover, which is better? Being funded by the institution and having no deficits or collecting loans you would have to pay for eventually? I wish you the best!!! The present is indeed the key to the past, and Vice versa. 2 Likes |

Which is more effective for GRE, Online Coaching or Offline Coaching? A lot of people have been asking this question now, what is better, online coaching or offline coaching? There are a lot of things to be kept in mind before choosing whether to go to a coaching class or study online. It totally depends on person to person. There are many people who find coaching classes better but there are many others who do not prefer coaching classes as it is tough to catch up with the pace or they like studying one on one with the tutor. So, personally, I'd suggest Online over Offline as it offers more benefits and features to the students. I'll explain my choice in detail by listing out a few points below, WHY ONLINE OVER OFFLINE? EASE OF ACCESS One of the biggest advantages of online coaching is that you can study at your own convenience and pace. Study Plan is set according to you and not the tutor. Most of the applicants are either working or studying and so it becomes tough to make time to study in a coaching class. This is what makes online coaching convenient. PERSONALISED This is again a huge benefit for the students. Personalized training is what everyone wants. You can study what you want when you want and at your own pace and also tutors give personal attention to the students so that they can understand the topics better. VERBAL SECTION GIVEN IMPORTANCE Studying for the Verbal Section is way easier to study online than offline. There are so many apps that help students learn for the Verbal Section. They ensure that the students are good with vocabulary and also are exposed to a ton of tough words. During my preparation, I found the GRE words on the [url=entrayn.com/galvanize/vocabapp/?referrer=utm_source%3DForum%26utm_medium%3DNairaland%26utm_campaign%3DPost]Vocab App[/url] by Galvanize really helpful. COST EFFECTIVE If you have done some research, I'm sure you will agree with me on this one. Getting personalized training online is way-way cheaper than studying the same way in a coaching class. And this is one of the biggest factors for online being better than offline UP-TO-DATE CONTENT Online classes teach with updated content and also help the students by altering the questions using data analysis and other advanced methods. PERFORMANCE TRACKING Another feature of online classes is that you get a detailed report of your performance and what areas the student needs to improve on. Whereas, in coaching classes, tutors will not help each and everyone with their performance. I hope these reasons help when you decide which one to choose. These are just some of the reasons why I liked online over offline but the decision totally lies in your hands. Just do some research before deciding. Taking tests and watching demos will help in deciding for sure. If you are looking for good Online Prep apps with free demos and tests, there are some really good ones like [url=https://entrayn.com/galvanize/greapp/?referrer=utm_source%3DForum%26utm_medium%3DNairaland%26utm_campaign%3DPost]GRE Test[/url] Prep App by Galvanize, Magoosh, etc. Do check them out. Good Luck! |

graciousify: What graduate degree are you considering? Finance is a very lucrative field (one of the most lucrative fields ever) if you know your way. |

ugonna1054: I admire your guts. For you to have a BS in Geology and targeting an MS in Computer Science shows you are a very impressive student. Have you taken prerequisite courses in computer science from your undergrad? If no, that might be a stumbling block for you. If you haven't done the prerequisites, you might want to take either of these two options; 1. Apply to a college that will take it slowly with you Since you are a switcher, target schools that take a very lenient approach for switchers like you. Some of them allow you to take prerequisites while you complete your master's degree while others allow you take your masters for three years, instead of two years. I will also advise you throw in one or two Ph.D. apps because it may give you enough time to learn the concepts very well 2. Use this gap year to take prerequisites This option is more expensive but it makes sense. You can use the gap year to take prerequisite courses from online community colleges or from college extension programs. Once you get them done, you can then apply to solid two years programs with or without loans (it will pay off if you attend a top top computer science college). I don't consider Northeastern to be a top computer science college so I won't advise you to take that deal. You will get cheaper deals from better computer science colleges if you do your homework. I won't advise you to take route 2 because it may be a lot of work for you because you will have to combine GRE study with taking prerequisites. Also, it will be an expensive option and from your comment, I don't think you are prepared to pay $800 per course (and you willl need to take 4 courses at least). So, my ultimate game plan for you include; 1. Ace your GRE and TOEFL and target 315+ and 100+ respectively. You strike me as a brilliant student so I don't think this will be an issue for you if you put in the needed dedication. If you score below this threshold, you will sell yourself short and you will attend colleges that do not befit your status as a first-class student. 2. Target schools that will take it slow with you and at least two PhD programs. Look for schools that are lenient to switchers. 3. Make sure you can demonstrate to the admissions officers that you will not struggle with CS modules. You can show this through previous technical projects OR completed prerequisite courseworks with good grades. If you have a particular area of interest, that will sell you more by showing your work in those areas Any more advice from this, I will charge you my consulting fee 2 Likes |
