I had to start searching for other schools in December as the American dream and Funding hope were already doing anyhow, now it dawned on me I had to do TOEFL. The major gist was TOEFL was easy and I would pull a 100+ with one week practice and I did, because I was travelling for 3 weeks.
Sincerely,

DreManuel:
If you are looking at fall 2018, and you want to write in January, that means you may not meet the deadlines for top US schools. Some of them have December as their deadline and others January. So do your research.
I think the starting point is to get off the fear from your heart. GRE maths are basic maths and doesn't even have complex numbers of calculus. And the English can be surmounted too given adequate and right prepping.
I wrote the GRE when I was fully employed too so I understand your position but let me share some of the tips that worked for me.
1. Use only great GRE books. I suggest in the following order; ETS GRE official materials plus the Powerprep 2 b. Manhattan 5lb and the texbook (use if you have time and if necessary) 3. Magoosh GRE and Videos 4. NOVA GRE Math Bible.
2. Set a realistic time table and stick to it.
3. Begin preparation with a full diagnostic test. This will help you identify your strengths and weaknesses.Then face your weaknesses squarely. Ensure you learn strategies and not just keep practicing questions blindly.
4. Download Magoosh GRE flashcards. I used it on my phone everywhere I went to learn GRE words.
5. Read tedious and challenging articles from the NYT, The New Yorker, The Economist, Arts and Literatures Daily, rtf
6. Be patient with yourself. Sometimes you will feel you are getting nowhere but if you keep learning techniques and practicing, you will see your scores improve.
7. Take some time off to cool off.
8. When you solve practice questions, take the pain to review the answers both the correct and wrong ones. Sometimes you learn a faster trick from the solutions. And sometimes you would see that you were lucky in getting the answers.
9. Periodically take full length practice tests online from Manhattan, Magoosh or Crunchprep or the two Powerprep 2 tests. This will help you acclimatize with the real lengthy and gruelling GRE. I realized that Manhattan was the toughest of them all, so your real GRE score may be slightly higher. Note than none of the tests is closer to Powerprep 2 in terms of proximity to the actual GRE, so use the Powerprep judiciously. The only downside is it doesn't show solutions to the questions.
@ no 4 please how do i get the GRE FLASHCARDS thanks for your anticipated reply.

I had to start searching for other schools in December as the American dream and Funding hope were already doing anyhow, now it dawned on me I had to do TOEFL. The major gist was TOEFL was easy and I would pull a 100+ with one week practice and I did, because I was travelling for 3 weeks.
I applied to University of Southern Mississippi I got accepted, but the I'm sorry " we received the most competitive sets of applicants this year and your application ranked highly but I'm sorry you could not secure an advisor at this point but you should when you come bla bla bla" cool story....but them try, they actually posted the admission letter to my house.
I got rejected by University of Rhode Island(very competitive program for oceanography I guess) and my application wasn't processed by University of South Alabama because they said I didn't submit one recommendation, this was very painful thinking LSU admitted me with just two recommendations out of three.
I am still waiting for University of Massachusetts Dartmouth to decide.....
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was already losing hope as UMASSD was the only school left, slowly I started preparing for another GRE. Finished the Manhattan 8 books, moved to Magoosh online premium prep. During the period of wait I actually learnt so many things. I learnt that funding can only be given when available, you have to make your application stand out and match with the interest of the funder.....
I learnt about searching for advertised positions online using associations job posting in my field/area of interest. I sent series of mails to positions I found online, everything 'Unfortunately, Sorry, At this point'. So I started thinking about Spring and this brought everything in order. How I applied for advertised positions changed. I mailed some professors at Oregon State University, generic replies 'Unfortunately, Sorry, At this point', but there was someone I pressed further, I pressed his mumu button, I told him how I felt comfortable contacting him, how he would make a good advisor bla bla bla....na him baba help me change my story.....
He said " Make all your app materials (GRE, CV, ati be be lo) in a single pdf when you mail a prof and name it as your first_name.application_materials so he could always check it easily when anything comes up or if he wants to refer you to someone else, make your cover letter as detailed as possible because some may have just one chance to have an impression about you, make your cover letter show your background, knowledge about field, why you stand out and future plans"
KA BOOM, I sent this to two positions advertised and I got two interviews!!!!
Nicholls State University and Southern Illinois University....
First interview Friday, the next monday...The interview for the first was on skype lasted almost an hour, questions were " Tell me about your background(discussed important courses, seminar and project), he then described the project and he was comfortable with my background probably because of my definition of terms, description of problems that there was even something he mentioned I had forgotten and he said I'm sure you would know it. " He asked about my future career plans", "If I was currently employed", "Why i chose to study in the US", "If the project was in line with my future plans: I just say God punish devil for my mind, see talk ooooooh....." , " Tested my knowledge on basics of geography using weather and location" and some personal gistsss.. I asked questions and I couldn't even prepare for the next interview on monday because he gave me some papers to read and just tell him what I felt about it.
Second interview, I had been calling her sir and he turned out to be a she..lmao.........I first seize, I also changed interview venue due to my village people trying to pull string, her approach was different, she summarized the project, asked what I felt about it, the volume of my earpiece was low, another hand of my village people, I just discussed the topic because most positions advertised in my field were related to wetland restoration, nutrient enrichment bla bla bla..... Asked about my background, future plans, project, funny question was hobby : I bleeped up I laughed, I said football, reading, DJ, she shock!, she said so you don't like cooking, she explained how cooking was like being scientific, being able to mix up things, I just shake head sey this mama no know naija way, she asked about how i see myself going to grad school and she noticed i didn't take any GIS course....
I was able to get the position as Nicholls State University, it was a plus for me because it was the same project one of the profs at the dept I was admitted to LSU advertised and I didn't even hear from and the funding odikwa gallant, but with funding comes responsibility. Next phase loading.

Dear Dr Do Good,
My name is Wizkid, I have a BS in HAHAHA from University of Lagos, Nigeria. I am writing as regards your advertisement on the Texas A&M Wildlife and Fisheries Job board for an MS research assistant position in your lab. I recognize and value the importance that a research graduate assistantship has when it comes to the educational and professional benefits especially one that is intertwined with your academic and professional prospects
During my undergraduate degree I experienced multiple facets of research according to specific courses and graduation requirement (undergraduate project). They imbued in me a holistic idea of research in marine sciences but I was able to understand that the crux of research is in the methodology and with the influence of technology on science these methods have become more quantitative, computational and analytical in nature hence I continually build my knowledge in areas such as statistics, data analysis, statistical software and required computer language. My desire to undertake a master’s program with thesis is in order to sharpen my acumen in aquatic sciences research and put me on the path in making original significant contributions in fisheries resource management and sub-fields of population dynamics, ecosystem based fisheries management studies and modeling, hence would make me more equipped in forecasting, mitigating or proffering solutions to the effects of human activities and climate change that leads to destruction of aquatic ecosystems. I have a good background knowledge about nutrient cycling because my compulsory undergraduate seminar was about Eutrophication in Nigerian coastal waters which I presented to the department under the supervision of Prof.Davido. Eutrophication was an intriguing topic because it addresses the interplay between nutrient enrichment, physicochemical parameters and biota of ecosystems. I was particularly fascinated about how nutrients enrichment affects the biological community which sometimes leads to hypoxia or anoxia in very extreme conditions; introduces invasive species and changed the top-down and bottom-up relationship in the food web over time. My research interest lie in the field of aquatic resource management and sub-fields of population dynamics, ecosystem based fisheries management and ecosystem modeling, effects and mitigation of anthropogenic activities, nutrient loading and climate change on aquatic biota and their environment, this has been piqued by my interest in solving problems using predictive or simulative methods.
I have strong mathematical and computational skills, a strong background in aquaculture, marine biology,statistics, fisheries ecology, botany, hydrobiology, oceanography, phycology, water quality and pollution control.
Attached is my Cv, Unofficial Transcript, Gre scores and contact information for three references.
I know you are very busy, so i'll appreciate any time you can give me
Sincerely,

Paper based; 1. Is generally a mishmash of Medium-difficulty level questions all round. 2.

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Hisvoice(m): 1:52pm On Aug 14, 2017 |
My GRE Experience (Post 1) I am writing this to encourage someone out there. My background includes a 2.1 and 65th percentile CGPA in both B.Sc and M.Sc respectively (medical field in Nigeria), and it was saddening to see me fall for GRE 3 times. Yes! 3 horrible times. A GRE score that is >300 seems like a Kilmanjaro without any knowledge of how to surmount it. I drew encouragement from the fact that my score improved by 6 marks at each attempt (1st - 286, 2nd - 292, 3rd - 298) and was resilient to @ least break the jinx of 300 mark, even if it's just by 0.000001. Although, it was quite challenging - financially, emotionally and mentally - to keep up with the exams due to work schedule, exam cost and depression associated with failure. Yet! I never give up 'cos I saw GRE as an hurdle to jump to achieve something big. At last, after dealing with the 'Jericho wall' at the redemption camp on thursday, I went to JKK (where I was a regular customer) to re-write. After the exam, I scored 308 (Total Score; Quant - 154, Verbal - 154). Not 'stellar' as we commonly say here, but at all all ........
By writing 4 times, I discovered some things about the exam that worth sharing particularly for low scorers in VERBAL. I will be back to share in the next post.. Merci Dieu 17 Likes 1 Share |
