It’s october... you have no idea how to register for the SAT, you have no idea what school you will be applying to (or even the country!), their requirements and whether the school is worth your effort with respect to your long term goals (if you have any). You don’t know the structure of the exam neither are you prepared for it. You have no idea how much schoool will cost you, neither have you planned for contingency. All you know is that you want to be in the states by December (2 months away).

Yours is the most unserious post I’ve seen in the last week or two. Responding to you any further is a waste of time. He who fails to plan is simply planning for his own sure failure.

this is why I am asking for guides and answers ? It could just be a want of mine having things ready by December, but you guys can make me understand it is impossible if it is . I was just humbly asking , no need to get hyped over that .

You see eh, any school you find that waives SAT for undergraduate admissions, after you arrive school you often are required to take their own English and Math placement tests and most times you would spend the first semester taking English as a Second Language classes and/or math development classes, due to no SAT scores, before actually starting your college-level courses the following semester, which means that you end up paying more in school fees and spending an extra semester in school (instead of 8 semesters it becomes 9 semesters). At the end of the day the school gains because you pay more than necessary to them in school fees and you lose because you saved ordinary N30,000 or less SAT registration fee to pay over N300,000 to N500,000 or more in your first semester taking English classes that you probably know too well, due to what? I like to call that laziness to prepare and take an exam as simple as the SAT.

At the end of the day, all universities require SAT/ACT etc. for undergraduate admissions purposes and if the exam is not compulsory for admission, they still need it to waive the placement tests after you arrive, thus it is still best that you take the SAT or ACT and ace it so that the placement tests/ESL classes are waived and you go on straight to your university-level courses as soon as school starts, or else it is simply a case of penny wise, pound finish.

thanks a lot for this broad explanation brother . Please do you have any idea where I can go apply for this exam and when I will take it? What are the things to expect from this SAT and TOEFL? Is it just a strictly English exam? I actually am targeting and hoping to start everything now and getting to the states by December or January if everything goes well . I have an idea of studying in either Australia or The US. Please which would you advice for a first time traveler ? And which would be less expensive? Can a budget of 3 to 4 million naira accomplish this for atleast a year? That's successfully pay for visa and everything involved and a year or two school fees ? Also does Australia require TOEFL and or SAT? Thanks a lot . I have no idea about any of this hence my much awkward weird questions bro

Chidinho10:
Go and write those exams! None of them are waived

in this same thread , someone said it was waved

Chidinho10:
GRE and TOEFL for graduate students

SAT and TOEFL for undergraduate students

is the the SAT also waved for Nigerians?

skido04:
Hello gurus, please I have a question.
I have written the Toefl and preparing for the gre. but right now, that's all I'm doing. but I feel like I might be missing something. is there any other documentation I should be doing right now? I don't like being in a rush and racing against time which this might cause in the future.
also. if I can get a personal mentor who I can ask simple questions directly. I'll appreciate.

how did you apply for the TOEFL bro? How long did you wait before writing it? And where did you write ? Hw much totally was spent? Thanks bro , I'll appreciate

Chidinho10:
Some schools waive those exams for Nigerians but most of them won't fund you. If you're looking for funding, GRE and TOEFL IS A MUST!!

SAT is for undergraduate programs

thanks a lot . Also is SAT waived ? Or a must write? GRE and TOEFL are two different exams one must write? Does it also apply for undergraduate programs?

DeeTus:
Gosh!! Your school's been on strike for over a year now? Which school is that?

ksu !

gnykelly:
don't worry. you are in safe hands

received my passport bro . Thanks a lot for the help and guide . Advice to those going to apply, if you apply and relax waiting on them to call you , you are just waisting time and they might even take a month to call because those greedy folks are busy attending to those that sort them and constantly are there to worry them .. also if you go for express , don't just go and relax hoping for them to do anything, constantly visit and worry them . If you go for express you can collect it same day or next , depending on the network there. Attached below are the prices for the passport which doesn't even seem to work any longer . Just ready 30 to 35k for an express treatment.

Chidinho10:
They do but you need TOEFL for funding via Teaching Assistantships
Please don't make the mistake of writing IELTS for US admission. Just that I dont have time. I for show you more schools wey dey reject IELTS.
God bless!

i don't understand this ? Can one gain admission to the US without toefl , Gre? Is it waived for Nigerians? Why are others going for this here? Also is SAT same as these exams? Thanks

obiagbaoso:
Babe no worries...you jst have to decide on what you want..if you want schools without Gre or Gmat...it's you decision. You can still get funding when you do well at school..if you don't have enof now but still want to study abroad..then go for schools without these exams GRE GMAT IELTS. it's economical that way..then save up or study hard in your first year to get a high GPA to qualify for funding...Am sure if one could get a high gpa in Nigeria the person can do even bettet abroad. with or without these exams you can get visa and admission.

PM me if you are still interested

can I contact you please brother? Pm wouldn't work because I don't have access to that mail . If there is anyway I can contact you through I'd be glad ,

This is my email zotobarr@gmail.com

Good morning folks , Do forgive my asking like a novice , as I have no idea, and asking questions for help and guide is never a bad thing .. Please I have an interest, not just an interest but I am fully ready to go for a second degree in the U.S. I studied sociology and I am done with my final exams , just waiting for my results .the school has been on a certain stupid strike for over a year and half now , I don't even care anymore about them releasing my result or not as I want to go for another degree in the U.S . I am 24, and would be 25 mid next year and my question is , what requirements would I need to embark on this journey , would someone with a budget of 4 to 5 million naira here be able to execute this project? Can I still go for a degree with my age? And what do I need doing from now as I intend to be done with every requirements and ready to move by early next year (MAX).. ? I am also open to Canada and Australia, whichever would be better and cheaper.

coming from a windows phone user?. Crappy analysis

gnykelly:
did you do it yourself. or was it done by Immigration officer.

did by immigration officer

gnykelly:
don't worry since you never indicate you EXPRESS intention from day one it will soon be out.

submitted my informations online and when they tried to upload it the server said payment not found or something like that , did very same for everyone there , the immigration people backed on the excuse that it was network and almost everyone has been coming and going since Monday to reupload their details and capture once network payment is uploaded . What could be the cause of this?

I think I'm gonna barf... This is so gross! The rate at which snakes are been killed in this country, the next generation will only identify one from pictures or on TV.

i pray it gets to that . I even want them phased out of tv . They are of no important use!

madgoat:
She's UGLY

gnykelly:
there is no booklet in most immigration that can guarantee you same day passpoet as before. you can only do your data capture and you get the passport 3 weeks after. or you do that of express which will cost you extra 10k.

i already captured my data , what extra steps do I take for the express bro .

Please can I go on to get my international passport without those ? I plan on going on Monday for the international passport hopefully but don't know the requirements

blastac:
But wait.... What is iPhone 8 offering that Android hasn't done before... They were making noise about the wireless charge but common alot of phones have done that.... What else abeg even Samsung's S8 camera is better than iPhone 8 camera... Okay dey wan boast of water and dust resistance but even infinix have started dat.... I still don't get why I should gv up Android 4 iPhone.... It's like comparing play station(Android) with Nintendo(iPhone)

they are offering all the things you mentioned in a much well optimized and super fast performance. You can as well ask what a Bentley offers that a kekenapep doesn't

Alphaman007:
IPhone 8 is powerful, no doubt.. Bt it's Samsung for me any day anytime.. And what about the likes of LG, Sony Xperia, HTC?? Why werent those compared too

because out of all of them, Samsung is the most powerful. You can compare them yourself. Their results are all over

This is why I will always and always stick with iPhones .. androids are just too laggy for my usage ..

Perfectionist11:
Don't get me wrong.I appreciate this,but I still believe that beauty lies in simplicity..and Android phones do the simple stuffs better than Iphones.

Total control over your device... Saw a video you like on someone else's phone?...just open xender..e.t.c.

i guess you didn't know Iphone does this and uses xender too
