sirRiddy: I have not received my copies of either GRE, TOEFL or even WES. I guess maybe cos my area no dey map of Lagos. I sent my transcripts to five schools and WES using NIPOST and they all got delivered. It was pretty cheap, just 350 naira per package and they all got their various destinations within a month. Thanks boss.Still have about two months to deadline. |

justanotherme: @OP Thanks for the thread very informative. I have already downloaded the PDF materials quite Voluminous I must say. Can you help me formulate a 1 or 2 month study guide for GRE? I think the first thing is knowing how many months you 've got to use in preparing.Then,first acquaint yourself with the exam and test your capability using powerprep,(you can download that on ets website).Pls note that your score on powerprep is not really a true indicator,subtracting like 5points from your score in each section should reflect where you are likely to stand,eitherway,you are in good hands. Then,know your strength and weakness sectionwise, you can then topically focus on each section,Manhattan 5lb will really aid you in that wise.The same for verbal,but in a general sense,don't just go about cramming words,I think Barron helps on tips for effective mastery of words. All in all it is practice, practice and practice all the way and knowing various tricks like gre's timing and it been sectional adaptive. Pls and pls ,go back to page 1 and see how you can combine this books,I believe studying all of them cos you have to might be counter productive. Sorry,I couldn't give you a studying timeline, visit magoosh website,they have 1 week,2 weeks,one month,two,three bla bla bla study plan,if you can follow it religiously, good for you.All in all everything takes discipline. |

I also need to know if I can register online with my GTBank Mastercard as an agent is charging me 48k to register it. Finally, does anyone know any good GRE Exams Centre in Port Harcourt?
Pls anyone here to? As touching the material,you can access them with this link https://www.dropbox.com/sh/usbwtqrfp0px637/AADIbRkOHEYjRFUpkJ4XgO3Ea?dl=0Ensure you read through this post from page1 every advice you need on acing the test is there,including more study materials. As for paying,yes you can use the gtb mastercard,go thru previous post on how to go about it. Did my exam at JKK in lagos,so not sure about ph ,but this centers aren't GRE exam centre,they are just online prometric centres thru which ets conduct the exams. |

cube2nerdy: Below is part of a mail paypal sent me after my transaction. I've not been able to confirm my card as I don't know how to view my card statement or to acess the unique 4-digit code. Didn't see it online when last I checked my paypal account.
The charge creates a unique 4-digit code on your card statement. If you don't see the charge right away, don't worry - sometimes it takes a few days to show up. If you can't check your card statement online, check your paper statement when it comes in the mail (this can take up to 30 days). You will find the charge from PayPal with a 4-digit code. Maybe I don't get you well,you said your first payment and reg was successful. And a confirmation page was sent,now they rescheduled it but the order was 0.00.Your name and order might have been automatically transferred to the new date or so...You need to call them to confirm ASAP and bombard them with mail as Danjaninja has said... Secondly abt the verification code,lets say u linked your gtbank acct to PayPal, and you click verify,PayPal deducts some money equivalent of 400naira or so....even the alert you will get from gtb as a result of the transaction has d code in it, also when you check your account statement using gtb internet platform,you will still get the code there..its a four digit number followed by two letters if I'm right. |

cube2nerdy: Pals help ASAP I'm on my knees. I paid 4 d GRE using paypal through a friend's GTB account. So far no acknowledgement from GRE. GRE sent me a message concerning rescheduling of my exam date and in it my ORDER was reading 0.00...I followed d gudelines judiciously from this trend. The money has since been deducted from my friends account. But why is it not reflecting almost three wks now. What do I do? I'm confused. Dunno wat to do? I've never done online transaction before. Pls help me I did my reg and there was no issue,I think you should call their hotline if you are sure the payment was pure,I mean from your end,I feel you can call them to confirm your reg,from then you will know what to do,cos actually your name enters their database once you reg, u don't even need to go with any printout on the exam day,they already have a list with them.

chybaz: my lil cousin went for the test yesterday and failed whole-fully, He cramed the whole material given to him here, the one that was speculated, nothing came out. candid advice = Dont be too sure of any test materials you get here. Study ur geometry very well and be fast too. From his conclusion, he just couldnt believe how only v.few guys passed in a hall filled with about 150 persons, only about 12 made it. He is very brilliant and the first time he would fail a test. Be very careful with what people give to u, they claim to want to help but they leading u astray,,, I feel for him dou.

Feexo: Peeps, I want to know if the study materials from "selfstudy360@gmail.com" are still the most recent as I plan to write the GRE and Toefl again. While some schools said my 4.0 GPA from my school in Illinois- alongside other supporting documents of course-, would be suffice for a PhD admission, others like MIT, Berkley and Princeton, although with fantastic packages, blithely alluded to the fact that having a good Gre score would stand me in good stead with respect to admission decision. Also, I would be more than happy to know if there are other materials I could use in lieu of the ones in the above-referenced email. Thanks! Yeah,they are still very much relevant. But here is also a link if you want more GRE materials,i hope these helps. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/usbwtqrfp0px637/AADIbRkOHEYjRFUpkJ4XgO3Ea?dl=0 |
