Good day everyone, pls I need your advice, I'd be wrapping up my MS in physics soon, I want to apply for PhD in the USA, and I'm planning on taking the GRE general test, but I also found out that there's a physics GRE test and some graduate programs in physics would require one to take it, my question is this, will taking the GRE general test and TOEFL be sufficient enough for me to get into some of these programs?

There are endless cases of people who achieved remarkable GRE scores via Magoosh's self-study approach. Therefore, it's contingent upon your competency and favoured pattern of learning (and cognitive process).

Thanks for the advice.

Yes, but also consider taking the subject test too. It could give you an edge.

I called an education consult in Lagos today asking for GRE price. The respondent told me 55k. Could this be real? Or it’s a scam?

P.S I have contacted others and they quoted 90k, 80k.

It’s been a while my people here both old and new and also to those who contacted me via email and chat many weeks or months ago asking about discounted offer for TOEFL TEST and GRE TEST and I promised to notify them if I hear from the benevolent guys on the thread.

Am pleased to announce that TOEFL TEST and GRE TEST discounted offer is available but limited offer and for those who knew within them they can’t afford all the cost but wants to write it to get GA or TA or RA or scholarship.

Kindly notify me back and I will reply even with my busy schedules.

All things are necessary in admissions. Nothing is sufficient.

That said, many programs require subject test, but there are some that only require general. Perhaps getting a long list of schools split into 'need and not need' subject test could help.

In case you also have a sound BS and MS GPA, strong research experience, great letters from your professors and maybe some working papers or publications, you will be at an advantage if your GRE scores turn out well too.

I agree with this, if you have the resources.

But it's not just taking sha, these tests have to be blasted, both general and subject.

Thank you so much, I have a 4.69 BS CGPA, I hope to finish with a strong MS gpa as well, as per research, I have just one paper, considering my financial situation I can only afford to take the GRE general test and TOEFL

I think if you coordinate well, you can go to very top schools in the US, not just any school. There is a boy here who got into Stanford with your same GPA, but engineering. His GRE was very/excellent too and comments about his score led to a long debate. He hasn't even done MSc - US don;t need MSc for the most part.

I strongly believe your profile has a big potential for top places, or at least places just below the top.

Come back to these threads when you have your GRE scores ready. In the mean time, try to get people who will write you really excellent letters of recommendation. This was what I usually advised in my past posts. Letters are extremely important for PhD

Do you have research experience and possibly research papers beyond BS/MS projects?

Thank you, I guess I have to focus on acing the GRE before anything else, as per my research experience, that's another aspect of my profile I have to improve on since I have just one research paper at the moment.

Don't tell me you didn't do this research before writing the GRE, you just wasted 4 free slots to send your scores to your schools. Now you have to pay for them

Before we advise, we need to know your full profile.

GPA, Course, Research work etc.

Congrats. This is pretty very solid.

Be specific on your plans, maybe we can have one or two things to say.

Meanwhile, breakdown your scores.
