Mostly less than 2 weeks.
Advice to all: Very soon the screening will be over and while waiting for the selection board list it will be good to get yourself medically screened. At least get your blood and urine checked so you don't get surprised when the time comes

Please this is for the house, old and new members.
1) Please who knows if we can apply for a course different from the listed courses? Say Msc human resource management or Msc management? Could they be regarded as an allied course to those listed?
2) I read a post above that the award will cover both Msc and PhD. Please how true is this? Because you cannot get to admissions in one university for both degrees.
3) please who is studying for GRE presently? Do you have materials? Are you presently going for classes or u are studying alone?
4) please has anyone applied and gotten admission to the US?
5) for those that get emails pls post here. Anyone with info about the Abuja test center pls let us know.
Please don't ignore, comment if you have information about these questions. Nagode,Ese, Dalu, Thank you

Hello everyone, I've been following this thread as a guest for months, but just joined nairaland. Does anyone have an idea of what books we can use to prepare for this test? I read in one of the posts that some people got emails, I didn't get any email, who else didn't get? For the people that got the email what was it about?

CCsurplus007:


I have books. I would be glad to forward them to you. With those you should do fine in the exams. As per Ph I would check again but I am 100 % sure of lagos and Abuja. Recently firstlogic( well known gre testing center) opened a new center in Ph. I would get back to you

acjme:


Nice one CCsurplus007. Please i need your help too as reqards the toefl and gre materials. Please i'll appreciate if you could forward them to me as well. I am one of those shortlisted for the pressid test. I want to start applying to a US school, but gre and toefl are requirement. Please i need those study materials. Thanks alot. God bless....My mail is mathsy@37.com

Guys that want to start writing GRE let me tell you what those tutorial centres won't. PRESSID gives the scholarship to top 28 universities in the world which about 20 are from america and almost all d US schools in d list are Ivy league schools, these schools have their application for (september) admission deadline around mid december like 15th Dec. and GRE result takes about 3wks to get to d school after u write it. Minus that, to enter these top schools you should be looking at about 80% in quantitative (lowest score 130, highest score 170, 80%=162/170) and about 75% (160/170) in verbal reasoning. These are not child play scores and it takes at least 2 months of concentrated, diligent studying to get them or about 3-4months relaxed reading to get them. but you can confirm if there are schools in d US among the top28 that have deadlines around february before u start applying for GRE.. #justsaying

When a government with human face runs a society, the people rejoices. First Consultant has been a shadow of itself since the Patrick Sawyer unfortunate incident. Loss of patronage will lead to loss of revenue which will lead to laying off of staff and workers by the hospital despite the huge role it played in stemming the spread of Ebola. God bless and rest the soul of Dr. Adadevoh for the supreme sacrifice she paid.

Now we have a clueless and irresponsible president who said since he approved 1.9billion Naira to fight Ebola then the glory of it's eradication should be addressed to him despite coming to Lagos for a stupid and illegal rally, he didn't deem it fit to visit this hospital to emphasize and sympathize with the owner and other survivor of the plague.

If 1.9billion was approved for the fight against Ebola and both Lagos and Rivers States acknowledged receiving 200million each. To what use was the balance of 1.5billion Naira put to, that the Minister of health could not assist this hospital out of the balance for its lost of patronage and business that a fashola has to deep into the limited state resources to come to the aid of the hospital.

Prosperity and history will never FORGET fashola and same prosperity and history will never forget a Jonathan that ruled this country in the most inept, daft and soulless manner.
How did we get to this point in our Nationhood? Obj I hope you will continue to seek forgiveness and the favour of God over the clueless and dunce you imposed on this Nation despite the huge array of good governors in 2007. Donald Duke was a shinning light yet you foist this corrupt rogue on this Nation.

Come 2015 we are taking our Nation back to the path of greatness and end the 15 years of the locust of the PDP

God Bless you Gov. Fashola, may history be fair on you.

The PRESSID Implementation Committee now invites qualified candidates to apply for the third edition (2015/2016 academic session).
