aanexplus:Hey bro thanks a lot. I apreciate. Actually am looking at this year fall. I know it seems fast of me but I believe I can nail this with the right info. Like I said, I have been preparing but the whole procedure seems confusing however, you just made me understand that I gotta nail GRE first and that's why k need to nail it ASAp So should I register towards when I wanna write the test or should I register earlier? |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by aanexplus(m): 6:03pm On Jan 10, 2017 |
Daslimo: Most schools fall deadline is feb 1 some might be feb 15. Do you think you can beat this deadline? The deadline I gave you is for funding. If you don't need funding well you can register for gre. Register earlier because centre might be filled up. You can register in advance so that u secure you space. Hope that helps? |

iCool:This has been posted a number of times on this forum. Let's search previous pages for prep materials. It is not too much to read from first page to the current page for prospective test takers. Believe me there is a wealth of invaluable information in those pages. Magoosh video can be downloaded from 4shareddotcom(below is a screenshot of the download page). There is another set of Magoosh video that contains over 500 questions for each of Quant and verbal but the download link is no longer working. If any anyone can find a link please kindly post it. Anyone in Osogbo or Ibadan can connect with me for complete materials.

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by hirschfelder: 12:32pm On Jan 11, 2017 |
Schrodinger1: It is nice that you are considering grad school application early. First, almost all decent schools require GRE and TOEFL for admissions and funding. The schools you have mentioned are quite competitive, so I'd assume (good) GRE and TOEFL scores are required for admission. The best strategy though is to visit websites of the programs you wish to apply to and check out their full admission requirements. If you don't get all the information you need, mail the graduate program coordinator. They usually respond. Being an undergrad while taking the GRE is normal in other countries, it's okay to do that. The only issue you may have is your transcripts which you may be required to upload during your school applications. If you haven't graduated before applying to schools, you may upload incomplete transcripts or marksheets. Many schools accept this. So, yes, your idea is feasible. But you have to put in hardwork. Start your preparations early (follow all the tips outlined in this thread and elsewhere), contact potential recommenders and if possible discuss with a lecturer/mentor in your school for advice and tips. And also ensure this does not affect your undergraduate studies in any way. If you feel overwhelmed, you can always postpone your grad schools applications till your NYSC year. Good luck.... |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 1:22pm On Jan 11, 2017 |
ifeoluwadayofun: A little research on your path would have helped. Yes such programs do require at least GRE or MCAT (for health related courses) while some education courses ask for GRE. If you were in doubt you should have checked the admission requirements for some of the schools you are considering. It is always written there. |

Tunmise100: Go to the first page of the thread and you would get all the information you need. BY Mafit charges 50k for GRE if you consult their services. Otherwise, you may need to pay $205 at any rate your bank charges you at via PayPal. Perhaps apart from Ebdib (deactivated account), EssayHelp, Hirschfelder, Time2Smile and to some degree Topiipii no other person on this thread can help you get 330 (as most of us did not hit that ![]() Alternately, you could check platforms like quora.com and the likes to see how many Indians hit such scores and learn from them. Take note however, that the endpoint to this is gaining graduate admission to particular schools with as much funding as one needs. Which invariably means that you should be prepared to present a robust application with a lot of (prayers, luck, grace) or any other word that could cover up for serendipity, as getting the funding could swing either ways. This post was done in a bid to elicit subtle amusement. Do not take it too seriously. |

Hello guys, please I need assistance. I want to register for the GRE this week and take the exam around July in PH. But there are no test centres for that month yet in PH (the furthest is April). I want to know if it is possible to pay now and choose a location and test date later. I want to benefit from the B Y Mafit's promo. |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Ndawe(f): 9:46am On Jan 12, 2017 |
Hello House. I wrote the GRE sometime in 2012 and it's due to expire July this year. Is it better I just re-write, seeing that the result is far back, even though it's still valid? I want to pursue a PhD in Environmental studies (BSc Industrial Chem, First Class and MSc in Energy/Environmental Mgt, merit). Being that most funding opportunities are for fall semester, rather than spring or summer + I'm fretting about having to read for the GRE, what advice do you have for me please? Thank you. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 10:33am On Jan 12, 2017 |
Ndawe: Hi, Except you are not happy with your score I think the rewrite will be unnecessary. You have a good profile and I am sure you can "package" it well enough to convince a school to admit you. Besides, I don't think you have that much time on your side as applications for fall end in earnest in February for those looking for funding opportunities. Even though, most schools fully fund their PhD students, early submission is another advantage that could help an application (even one that otherwise would have been less competitive). So I guess the real question is, how good was your first GRE? |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Ndawe(f): 10:57am On Jan 12, 2017 |
Thank you so much. The first one was quite low (wrote it non-challantly), considering. I had Q 150, V 148 and AWA 4.0. Though, I've identified a few schools I may apply to, but then and again, even though GRE isn't the only requirement, but it's important. That's my dilemma. Scholastica16: 1 Like |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 12:13pm On Jan 12, 2017 |
Ndawe: Real dilemma. But I have to be blunt and ask you to look for the nearest GRE date to register. At this point, I think you should be prepared to put your speed-reading skills to work as that may be the quickest way to read through the RC passages and come up with quick answers in so short a time. As for the Q, always skip questions that you would not able to solve in 40 seconds. If you can be sure of atleast 13 answers in both sections (while guessing the others) you stand a very good chance of hitting the mid 150s in both sections. I am saying all these because I think you need a minimum GRE score of 300 which is not the case at the moment. To avoid stories that touch please rewrite it. If it is possible to get a date 3 or 4 days away...jump at it. If you are relaxed you would easily hit 300+ even without much effort. 1 Like |

OluDare01: Information is very pertinent, thanks for the motivation you gave, in addition to what you said I would like to add that a top GRE score is good, it helps one stand out in the pack but only GRE doesn't make a good application, the overall application does. Be informed, research schools, get an academic fitted resume with required experience, get a strong sop to bolster you choice and show your clear goals and direction. Establish good communication with the grad coord to know about funding, space, and deadlines or extensions. A minimum GRE score is usually set for programs but funding from your department most times depends on its availability and your program. A 340 might not mean being funded. The importance of a high gre score can't be over emphasized, it opens doors and creates better options 3 Likes |
