Congratulations on taking the step and getting here

Which ebook is the best for verbal and AWA? How can I improve these scores?

Kaplan and princeton review have very good material on verbal and AWA that proved quite helpful to me

Which material can I use to study Data Interpretation as I was unable to solve some questions in that section on the test day?

The official ets math review is an excellent start
https://www.ets.org/s/gre/pdf/gre_math_review.pdf
and as others have said the Manhattan book is also very useful

Good day everyone,
I wrote GRE last month.
Verbal: 143
Quant: 156
AWA: 3.5.

I intended to apply for the Spring 2020 admission. Needless to say, I used only one week to fully prepare for the test due to the nature of my job, although I have always been checking GRE vocabulary words on Magoosh flashcards during leisure time. I never knew my verbal and AWA skills were poor, perhaps because I did not have ample time to take the practice tests.

Meet the Nigerian surgeon who removed baby from mother's womb, operated on her tumor & returned her back






Nigerian Surgeon Dr. Oluyinka Olutoye and his surgeon partner Dr. Darrell Cass of Texas Children's Hospital carried out an operation on a baby at 23 weeks. (Read here)
Lynlee Hope, who suffered from a tumour known as Sacrococcygeal Teratoma was removed from her mother's womb, operated on and returned back. She healed and continued to grow until she was born again at 36 weeks.



Dr. Olutoye is Co-Director of the Texas Children's Fetal Center and fetal surgery team member, as well as a general pediatric surgeon. Dr. Olutoye received his medical degree from Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, in 1988 and his PhD in anatomy from virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA, in 1996.
 He completed his residency in general surgery at the Medical College of virginia Hospitals, virginia Commonwealth University, and his fellowship in pediatric surgery at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia, Pa. Dr. Olutoye is a member of the International Fetal Medicine and Surgery Society and is a Fellow of the Surgical Section of the American Academy of Pediatrics and American College of Surgeons; he is also a Fellow of the West African College of Surgeons.
Dr. Olutoye has specialized clinical expertise in fetal and neonatal surgery, with specific interest in congenital diaphragmatic hernia and complex wounds. Dr. Olutoye's research interests include understanding the role of the fetal inflammatory response in scarless fetal wound healing, development of animal models of congenital anomalies, in utero correction of severe congenital malformations, and the study of endothelial-leukocyte and endothelial-tumor cell interactions with a goal to better understand the mechanisms of tumor metastasis.
Dr. Olutoye is certified by the American Board of Surgery in Surgery and Pediatric Surgery.

The Tale of Genji: The world’s first novel?

Written 1,000 years ago, the epic story of 11th-Century Japan, The Tale of Genji, was written by Murasaki Shikibu, a woman.

Written 1,000 years ago, the Japanese epic The Tale of Genji is often called the world’s first novel. Following the life and romances of Hikaru Genji, it was written by a woman, Murasaki Shikibu. The tale had an unprecedented global influence; in 1925 an English translation by Arthur Waley was reviewed by virginia Woolf in British Vogue.

The most recent English translation is an epic 1,300 pages long. It’s a “monumental work of literature,” says Melissa McCormick, a professor of Japanese art and culture at Harvard University.
“Murasaki Shikibu was writing in a mode of literature that was, at her time, fairly denigrated. Fiction was at the lower rung of the scales of the genre hierarchies,” McCormick explains. But despite it being fiction and being written by a woman, The Tales of Genji was such a tour de force that “it had to be taken seriously,” she says.

It's a northern thing.....what do you expect from a university that the cutoff mark is 50......even a shoe shine gets admitted.......they are in d same level as our secondary schools down south here

Lolz..this guy, you need exposure. Hausas generally do not think education is compulsory, however, the few that are in school are as brilliant as any other good students in the world especially in Engineering. You will change your reasoning when you come across the likes of Jelani Aliyu (best automobile designer in the world), el-rufai, Ribadu, prof Hussaini (from A.B.U to University of virginia), prof Jega, Dangote etc. There are uncountable southerners who graduated from A.B.U, ask them how far about making a 2:1 in A.B.U....

Are you a high school or university student? if yes, you will need to check the recent academic calendar for your school. The academic calendar contains data and deadlines for various events such as registration date, late registration date, classes begin, classes end, drop/add dates and more.

Brodagovernor:
Thomas Fuller
Often called the “virginia Calculator”, Thomas Fuller was born in 1710, somewhere between the “Slave Coast” of West Africa (present-day Liberia) and the Kingdom of Dahomey (modern-day Benin).

That's great news that he his origin wasn't traced 2 Nigeria if not some folks on nairaland would have started arguing that he is afonja or Igbo amaka

Brodagovernor:

Thomas Fuller
Often called the “virginia Calculator”, Thomas Fuller was born in 1710, somewhere between the “Slave Coast” of West Africa (present-day Liberia) and the Kingdom of Dahomey (modern-day Benin).


He was taken away from his native land during the scramble for slaves and sold as a slave. At the age of 14, Fuller was taken to Colonial America in 1724.

Fuller was illiterate as he could not read and write English but had a rare gift; the ability to give accurate and speedy calculation, which for so many years stunned the colonisers.

He simply was able to solve complex math problems in his head.

Antislavery campaigners who had recognized his rare talent used him to drum home the point that blacks were not mentally inferior to whites.

Northern virginia planters, Presley and Elizabeth Cox, also used Fuller’s talent in the management of their plantation farm, about four miles from Alexandria, virginia.


So how did Fuller acquire this talent, especially in a period where slaves were not allowed to learn to read and write?

He said his skills come from experimental applications around the farm such as counting the hairs in a cow’s tail.

Complex computations related to astronomy are carried out by a computer but Fuller was amazingly able to do those computations in his head.

When Fuller was 70 years old, he met a businessman who had come with other associates from Pennsylvania just to know more about him.

They asked him some questions. Examples were: how many seconds were in a year and a half? how many seconds had a man lived who is 70 years, 17 days and 12 hours old?

When he correctly answered 47,304,000 and 2,210,500,800, respectively, in less than two minutes each time, one of the men raised an objection, saying his own calculations were much smaller.

Fuller quickly responded, “(Stop), Massa, you forget de leap year.”

After taking into consideration the leap year in their calculations, they agreed with Fuller. They later submitted Fuller’s computational abilities to the Abolitionist.

Fuller died on the Cox farm near Alexandria, virginia in 1790. He was 80.

Doing speedy calculations does not make you a mathematician or math genius.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions people have about being good at math, that it’s all mental computation and scary fast power in calculations. No offense, but simply being fast at numerical calculations has nothing to do with being good at maths- it’s a mechanical trait that can be sharpened with continued practice.

Being a math genius is more about creativity and being able to notice and exploit patterns that nobody had ever noticed or thought of before.

In all things his skills mean he probably has a good short term memory and makes him more of a human calculator.

Thomas Fuller
Often called the “virginia Calculator”, Thomas Fuller was born in 1710, somewhere between the “Slave Coast” of West Africa (present-day Liberia) and the Kingdom of Dahomey (modern-day Benin).


He was taken away from his native land during the scramble for slaves and sold as a slave. At the age of 14, Fuller was taken to Colonial America in 1724.

Fuller was illiterate as he could not read and write English but had a rare gift; the ability to give accurate and speedy calculation, which for so many years stunned the colonisers.

He simply was able to solve complex math problems in his head.

Antislavery campaigners who had recognized his rare talent used him to drum home the point that blacks were not mentally inferior to whites.

Northern virginia planters, Presley and Elizabeth Cox, also used Fuller’s talent in the management of their plantation farm, about four miles from Alexandria, virginia.


So how did Fuller acquire this talent, especially in a period where slaves were not allowed to learn to read and write?

He said his skills come from experimental applications around the farm such as counting the hairs in a cow’s tail.

Complex computations related to astronomy are carried out by a computer but Fuller was amazingly able to do those computations in his head.

When Fuller was 70 years old, he met a businessman who had come with other associates from Pennsylvania just to know more about him.

They asked him some questions. Examples were: how many seconds were in a year and a half? how many seconds had a man lived who is 70 years, 17 days and 12 hours old?

When he correctly answered 47,304,000 and 2,210,500,800, respectively, in less than two minutes each time, one of the men raised an objection, saying his own calculations were much smaller.

Fuller quickly responded, “(Stop), Massa, you forget de leap year.”

You're welcome
If you've got ample resources and are willing to take a chance, you could still try Spring 2020. If it doesn't work out, then you go for Fall 2020.
Someone here got full funding for Spring 2019, for a Masters program (although, having a much stronger CGPA).
Ace your GRE and TOEFL and contact potential supervisors. Their response should hint you on whether to apply for this coming Spring or not.

Cheers!
