Hi people!
I got a message this morning to come for an interview at the regional office tomorrow. I was asked to choose my preferred location from the three locations sent to me. I wrote my test last week but didn't get any link for a video interview or psychometric test that day. Is there any other person in my shoes?

What do you mean by "2nd interview"? Have you been invited for an interview after your CBT?

Sandieeee:
am I the only one waiting to be invited for a 2nd interview after getting through with cBT, since 15th

Barbarthundey:
please, can anyone help with the meaning of "pre-chat" and is there going to be an interview after the CBT? if yes, what are the things to expect

Where did you write your test?
Have they contacted you after the test?

iamyinkizzle:

Dugbe, Ibadan.

Mitchellina123:

Do you have the number of uba or any other person

No, I don't.

Mitchellina123:
it wasn't the hr I met , maybe the person didnt deliver it m nt sure

It's possible

Mitchellina123:
were you the only one, or many people were present , I submitted two weeks ago but no response, plz let's talk

A little over 10 people took the test. What did you submit?

Thank you for yesterday. I took the test this morning in Ibadan and it was successful. I was told we'd be contacted later so I'm waiting for the next step.
Thank you once again.

Good afternoon guys. I was just called for a UBA test tomorrow.
An uncle helped submit my CV. Please what should I expect? Do I need to take passports along with my credentials?
Looking forward to a prompt response. Thanks!

You don't have to input your schools at the point of your registration. You can stall this until about 10pm the day before the test. That is for the TOEFL.

For the GRE, you can only input intended schools in the space allotted it on the test day. You can choose to cancel the scores if you don't want it reported to the schools.

Good morning..
Can TOEFL be taken in Ibadan? I checked the ets site and I saw Ibadan with dates alloted but I didn't see a venue.

you can definitely retake the test while you prepare your other documents ready(SOP and what not ). and yeah i was able to increase my 152 quant score to 161 cause i practiced a lot of questions basically.
see the thing is it depends on the school you want to apply to. are you from engineering background? is the program you intend to enroll at math intensive or is it more verbal reasoning intensive? did you see what the scores(average scores since the scores vary) of students admitted to your intended program are ?
the last time i took the test i just took it for the sake of taking it and i was studying in balanced way half of my time on verbal(stressed alot on this cause my first language is not English )and half of it on quant. and i took it ,sadly i got 305(152 quant).
so i started contemplating a lot looking at yocket admits and their gre score. thats when i realized i needed 160+ score on the quant since my intended program was data science or cs,to be competitive that is . i thought if i score good on the math atleast i wont get rejected on the basis of my gre score.
so comes the strategy....focused on math since thats what i am better at. i did Manhattan back to back and nova and the official guide.
i practiced what i thought was challenging me(basically taking me time to figure the problem out since most of them are solvable but the how fast is the key) like remainder questions (got two of them on the test, use nova for this) ,probability and counting(got only one question) and standard deviation(had difficult ones the last time but fortunately none on this time around)
i did almost zero ,yes zero study on verbal cause last time i took a lot of time studying vocab and i did not see none of them so this time i sad Bleep it!! i aint worrying about vocab. i did some RC questions from the GMAT though.
uhhh whatelse, thats it i guess. sorry if im all over the place.
check out the diagnostic report and see which sections you messed up so you can try to improve.
if you still have questions let me know

Thank you so much!! Just saw your message..
Yes oh, I'm from an Engineering background! (It's embarrassing) and I intend to use it for PhD applications as I'm rounding up my M.Sc. I've checked the schools I want to apply to, majority of them want a score close to 160 for Quant. I'd work on all you said.
Thank you.

Hello Ponpon!
As regards this registration you talked about, are there available dates for this year? I checked ets site two days ago , the closest date I got was Jan 4.

hey guys whats up?
i just retook the gre yesterday and i actually improved .
q=161
v=152
0verall=313
wanted a 160+ for my quant and i got it. gotta say tho,i have never been the guy to stress over an exam. i have always been that nonchalant guy when it comes to tests but GRE man that gets to you BIG TIME. NEVER HAVE I EVER CAME ACROSS A MORE STRESSFUL TEST THAN GRE.
could be mainly cause i made it a big deal in my head or maybe it is. most people say it was the same for them too so thats that.

so yeah i got QVQVQ and i did not study vocabulary or anything this time around.
advice for all the math/engineering applicants- focus on the quant section since ,i believe, thats the admission committee would look for(most schools). i wish i scored 170 on than but it is what it is and i am happy regardless.
one thing i noticed your score does not reflect how many questions you got wrong ,some questions weigh more so getting them wrong means a lower score so practice hard questions to increase your chance of answering them correctly with the time you have.
as for study prep , nova(very helpful for the math section!!! specially for remainder questions which i got two of them yesterday) ,Manhattan all series and official ETS prep guide is enough.i think anything else would be an overkill.
and one last thing practice trumps reading/studying. evenif you are not familiar with the subject practice questions on that would go along way than to contemplate on the topic for days.
if yall have questions about gre ,i am here to share my two cents.
thanks.
on to the next headace.....SOP and THEM

Hello! Nice scores you've got there! I also wrote my exam yesterday but with a very low score of 288. I started practicing with Manhattan 5lb but switched to Magoosh videos midway. I also didn't do practice tests under exam conditions until this week. I was super nervous from the evening before the exam up until I got in.
One question, how were you able to increase your score this time around? Could you please share materials you used? I'm not in a hurry to take another test but at the same time, I am working with deadlines for fall 2019.
Would love to hear from you soon!

..

[Thank you!
