I believe HND holder should also have the opportunity in S.A. what's the possibility of studying in S.A with an HND in Electrical engineering for direct masters and what does NQF 7 means on SAQA evaluation... Does NQF 7 qualifies to apply directly for a research based masters or Coursework only

Thanks

Brother you should have kept quite, we wouldn't have noticed that you are poor in English language. That term diet is very correct, you are confused because you are poor in English language skills. If you are a college student, well I will spank you but if you are a graduate, them whoever sent you to school got it wrong, he would have invested you school fees in buying pigs and goats

Well good to see your truculent act... Yes I don't know its correct. Can you explain what that means in context?

imperiouxx:
Because spring is like '2nd semester'. New session begins in fall and funding allocation is done in fall. I don't know about other schools but I was able to carry my fall funding to spring after I deferred.

OK. I think I will just wait till schools open the application portal for fall 19.

tactmayor:
The reason is because schools have not started admitting for spring 2019. Most schools have application deadline for Spring 2019 between July and September 1. So expect admission decisions to start tlrolling in from September and people to start going for visa interview from September.

Maybe you don't understand what I am trying to say. I've read part 10-13 but I've not seen anyone with full funding for spring semester.. I just want to know if its advisable for mW to apply for spring or make I just apply for fall 19 jejely

Is it advisable to apply for Spring semester considering funding availability. I want to start application by august and I am looking at some schools to apply for spring session but I noticed that Fall peeps got scholarship more than spring... And I've not seen a fully funded TAship for spring session so far

Sponsor? Family? And no further questions were asked? Please What was written on your I-20 regarding your sponsorship?

Maybe the sponsor is from Ambode's Family. They can't even ask for statement

How is this plagiarism. @bigfrancis helped with the info on this same thread. All i did was to copy nd paste for the individual who needs it.

Going through your posts since you registered your moniker on Nairaland, you seem to be a cool guy.
I mean no disrespect but i would simply advice you think very critically before typing......

I really don't mean to irk you. I only point out that you should name where it is found... I mean give credit to who deserve it. I am sorry if you don't find that good to you

Tunmise100:
Do this to avoid unnessary cost and "STORIES THAT TOUCH" :
Once it is submitted, it is submitted and it cannot be retrieved. I don't understand the rush many potential applicants have in submitting their DS160s too early when it cannot be retrieved after submission. For reasons like this I always recommend that people do not submit their DS160s too quickly until a few days to their interview to ensure that any mistakes made are corrected and all required information is entered to
avoid having to submit, retrieve and update new ones several times. You can't retrieve your submitted DS160 form but you can duplicate it and a new DS160 number will be assigned to you which you would need to update on your visa profile page. Visit the DS160 website, select Lagos or Abuja accordingly, enter the captcha code, click on retrieve application, enter your current DS160 number, enter your security questions. It would come up with 2 options: view submission page or so, or load a new application or so. Choose the second option, it would duplicate your current/submitted DS160 for you with all the info in it but with a new DS160 number. Now you can make necessary corrections to your new DS160. Do not forget to update the new DS160 number on your visa profile and reprint your interview appointment page bearing your new DS160 number or else you would be turned back at the embassy for the new DS160 number not matching with the old DS160 number on your initial visa appointment printout.Be
sure to update your new DS160 number on your visa appointment profile at least 2 to 3 days in advance to your interview date.

Plagiarism. I think I have seen this post before... Please give the credit to whom it is due....

A sister of mine wrote GRE on Monday, this week, and had a score of 288. She is planning to go for her Masters degree in Microbiology, but she has since been feeling discouraged because of the low score.

Please I will appreciate if you can assist with Universities that can still accept such a score for Masters in the US or Canada, or better still any exams that she can still sit for to complement her GRE score. Thanks so much for your assistance.

Please Navigate to travel section US ViSa topic... Your question will be answered by experienced fellows

Good afternoon gurus in the house.
I wrote my GRE test today and I got an abysmal score and its so painful because it means I wasted 3month on preparing for this test
Well, I realised I was just blindfolded by my test score on Magoosh and powerprep which made me reduce my reading habit in the last two weeks of preparation.
My unofficial score is 303 (Q157 and V146) but I sent the score to some schools and I want you to help scrutinize my profile.
GRE-303
HND-WES OFFICIAL EVALUATION (3.59)
Course of Study-Electrical Engineering
RECOMMENDATIONS- 2 Doctors and 1 Mr.
I don't have any publication and infact my project was a research which is not related to what I want to study (investigation on the interpretation of energy saving lamps in residential houses in Lagos State) so I don't know if I can actually mention this to any professor.
I sent my scores to these four schools
Florida state University- hoping to apply for direct PHD and their GRE requirement is 145 in verbal and 151 in Quant
North Dakota state University- PHD in Electrical engineering. A professor from there have a PhD position with full funding and I will be mailing him today or tomorrow
Rochester Institute of technology-Masters Application
Georgia Southern university- Masters in Applied Engineering


Please give me an advice. I am thinking of taking that test again in 21days. The only practice I need to do more is RC. That thing get as e be ooooo

GRE QUANT TIPS
1.In Quantitative Comparison questions, try numbers in this order: 0,1,2,-2,1/2. I learned this from NOVA GRE book. It works just fine.
2.Quantitative Comparison questions are half of a GRE Quant section (10 in number).
3.In Quantitative Comparison questions, before you select an answer, try at least two numbers.
4.Know the rules of divisibility. It will help.
5.Pay special attention to words like ‘the greatest possible’ in quantitative comparison questions. For instance, the greatest possible number of points common to a triangle and a circle is ____? It is more likely than many of us will pick three. Six points is also possible. Just remember that the triangle must not be inscribed in the circle. Six points will pass through the circumference.
6.Do not assume more than what is given especially in Quantitative Comparison questions.
7.Special triangles: 30-60-90 :1:√3:2;45-45-90:1:1:√2 ; The longer the side, the larger the angle opposite it and vice versa.
8.Supplementary angles 180, Complementary angles 90. Parallel lines have the same slope. Perpendicular lines – Negative reciprocal of the original line. (This appeared on my GRE). Know the equation of a line in different forms.
9.Learn all those Mensuration stuff.
10.Once a calculation is going on for too long, check your method again. There might be something wrong.
11.Be careful when multiplying or dividing by a negative number in inequality problems. Never do this in a Quantitative Comparison question.
12. PEMDAS – Parentheses-Exponents-Division-Mulitplication-Addition-Subtraction.
13.Integer 0 is neither positive nor negative.
14. 0 to 9 inclusive is 10 integers.
15. If a is even, b is odd, then a+2b is even, 2a+b is odd, ab is even etc. These kinds of questions are common.
16.P(A or B) =P(A) + P(B) Mutually exclusive ; P(A or B) =P(A) + P(B) –P(A and B) Independent
17.Know Mean, mode and median and how numbers can affect them.
18.In word problems, use 100 for percentages. Do not use a number if the word problem has a fraction. I think Princeton Review covers this.
19.How many multiples of 7 are there between 100 and 150? 7 not 6. 147-105=42. 42/7 =6. 6+1 =7.
20.10 evenly spaced tick marks on a number line is 9 intervals not 10.
21.Any three consecutive integers will always contain a multiple of 3.
22. Rate x Time = Distance. Draw a table and solve all rate questions like this. Manhattan covers this well.
23. Pay attention to units, scales and values along the X and Y axes in graphs.
24. Average degree per side = (180(n-2))/n.
25.0 is a number.
26.How many square pieces can you get from a board of 18 by 30 inches without wasting any of the board? Answer: 15. Greatest divisor of 18 and 30 is 6. 18/6=3; 30/6=5; 3X5 =15. (Simple questions like this can waste your time).
27.Increase something by 250% is 3.5 times the number not 2.5 times the number.
28.Standard deviation questions are not usually difficult. Just know how it affects the mean.
29.Study the Official GRE test guide. You will not go wrong if you follow it strictly. Use other books (Magoosh, Manhattan, Princeton) for more tips , tricks and sample questions.
30.The key to scoring well on the GRE is to do well in the first section. The first section is usually easy (Assuming you prepared really well). This section is easy but tricky. If you practice well enough, you will observe that this is the section were you will finish with time to spare. On your sketch paper, I will advise that you solve your questions sequentially. Peradventure you need to go back to a question or review it, you can easily track your mistakes.
31. Pace well. Do not spend too much time on a particular question. I finished with some minutes to spare. I was able to review up to 10 questions and I can remember changing my mind on two answers I had previously selected. I did score 20/20 in that section.
32.Do not waste time on any question. This is very easy to say really. I made the same mistake in my second section. I wasted time on the first few questions as they were difficult. This affected my score. I noticed the easier questions were at the bottom.
33. The GRE is section adaptive. If you do well in the first section, you get a more difficult second section and vice-versa. This is aimed at making test takers get at least 150 marks. It follows a normal distribution. Those doing well are ‘dragged’ to 150. Those not scoring well are ‘helped’ to 150. (Additional probably unnecessary information lol).
34.From proven research, for you to get a more difficult second section, you need to score at least 14 in the Quant and 12 in the Verbal. The more difficult section carries more weight than a normal section. The more difficult questions you get correctly in the second section, you more points you have.
35.The scoring is not linear. I had 20 in the first section and 15 in the second section yet I had 166. In my Verbal, I had 14/20 in both sections yet I scored 161. Same thing I noticed with my friends and in my first attempt.
36.If you score 10/20 in the first Quant section and 16/20 in the next section, you will score 153. If you score 16/20 in the first section and 10/20 in the section, you will score 156. DO YOUR BEST IN THE FIRST SECTION. Verbal is more difficult than the Quant.
37.Peradventure you do not do well in the first section (You will know because the questions will be easy; It happened to me during my first attempt), you can still blast the second section. Just take it easy and do you best.
38.The on screen calculator can slow you down. Use it only if you really need it.
39.You can learn to back-solve questions. It helps when you are clueless on how to solve certain questions. I think Princeton covers this a lot.
40.I make mistakes more when I rush and do not take time to read the question well. Do not also try to solve questions mentally. Write it down to avoid errors.
41. Do a lot of practice tests. Under normal conditions, we will all score well. A timed practice test is the real deal. PowerPrep, Manhattan, Kaplan are good in this regard.
42. The GRE has a structure: For the Quant, you get 4 easy questions, 12 medium questions and 4 hard questions on your first section. Look at the Official GRE guide for more on question difficulty.
43.Some people are that good that some tips did not work for them. If you are like me that needed to retake the test, you have to pay attention to many things to avoid getting the same poor score.
44.By the way, there is nothing like a bad score. It all depends on what you want to use it for.
All the best folks. Pardon my errors.

Its really a good thing to have created this thread. I need you to help me answer some of my questions in regard to studying in the State. I am a graduate of HND in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and I am willing to migrate to the US to study for Masters. My unofficial evaluation with WES is 3.6 and the official will be available soon (next week). I am also preparing for GRE and my test date is July 2nd. Now my question is this;
Firstly. Are you going to advice that I apply for masters in Electrical engineering considering the job prospect in the state or what other course is more profitable. I heard IT is one of them best but can I switch from Electrical? although I major in telecommunications.
Lastly, I can't afford the exorbitant tuition fee and my parent does not even have the statement of account to stand for at the US embassy. I need a fellowship amounting to tuition waiver to cater for my education. What's your take on my issue. I will be applying for Fall 19 session so all my decision would be between now and August so that I can apply early wait for a positive decision to come in.

Yemski:
Please can you assist me with the procedures. I am interested in studying my phd in Canada.

Go to the travel section on nairaland and meet PHD students currently studying in Canada to ask your questions

jamoyakz:
baba I need that 70% offer badly... run am for me now ������

Justwise you need to ban this guy

Even if he's joking. Lol
Let's start from him

FrankNetter:
Yup, I get countless PMs on a daily basis and I try as much as I can to reply. Sadly, 90% of the pms I receive are about some _cock and bull story. Like do these people think I’m THAT naive? Come on guys, I be naija boy too.

Right now, I don’t reply PMs anymore. If it’s that urgent, post it here or send a message on my Instagram page. I would answer to the best of my limited knowledge

Bro please I need a PM with you.. What is your Instagram username. This is very urgent, I need to decide what to do because right now I am flux and vacillating between decisions that could affect my career

Like if u are lost, share if u fully understand my drift.

I guess you are preparing for GRE. Continue, Magoosh don help u wella

Quoran:
The GRE requires mental strength to tackle it. Trust me, the exam will drain you and automatically, you feel exhausted especially in sections you don't like.That's why you have to take full length practice tests. Don't be discouraged. Just make sure you're progressing by learning new tricks and tips. That way, your score will improve. Later, I will post tips on how to score well in the Quant score.

I will be expecting that also... I need to push my Quant up to 160 & above... I have tried different test simulations and my score has been 158 on average (162 on rare occasions). This practice test include but not limited to Magoosh, Kaplan, Manhattan, Gre Galvanized... I want to focus more on the Quant section, I have just one week left to my exam so please drop that banger that will make me avoid those silly mistakes that is insidiously degrading my score. I am fed up of that verbal section, the highest I've got is 151.. I want to focus more on the Quant

lincoffm:
Kindly take this trash down. The releasing of results isn’t done by me. You paid I registered that’s all.i advise you take this trash down here. I hate when some one come here to spoil people integrity. If you have issues with TOEFL maybe you did something wrong on your test day. All my clients have been receiving their result a check yourself

Lincoff.
This statement you just made is Vicious. Did you read the part that he called TOEFL and they said payment has been declined by you?

Well this is what I have to say about lincoff.
That guy is suspicious to be a scam. In March, I sent him a pm to help me register for GRE and he's willing to do for 50% discount, in that case I was suppose to pay 35k. After two days I messaged him again that I only have 25k yet he's more willing to register me for GRE. As a sharp guy wey I be and because I thought it was somewhat wallsprings 50% style, I told him to register it at BYmaffit instead of paying directly on ets page so that I can benefit from MAFIT free tutorial but lincuff decilned. Being suspicious of this kind of deal, I registered directly with BY MAFIT 45k in March.. How can you register unlimited 50% even higher percent discount. I still want to know if his father is one of ETS stakeholders.

11 days to go. How do I improve my verbal score... I still score less than 150
