Thanks a lot.. but i dont have the princeton any idea on how i can get it.

Scholastica16:


Don't use grubber. Use Princeton, the ETS Guide and Magoosh videos. Learn the Process of Elimination method (POE); i.e writing down alphabets on your answer sheet and striking them one after the other till you arrive at one you are either not sure about, sure or cannot say. If that is the only option left, click it and move on.

Develop reading speed. Read bulky paragraphs slowly but once so you would not need to read them again to get the idea being expressed. If you get the gist of what you are reading POE would be easy for you.

Try to read the ETS guide, practice drill or PowerPrep II before the test day because no other material replicates the GRE quite like the testmakers themselves. If you study Grubber before you get into the hall, you would feel like you had been training to play Everton but got Barcelona instead.

The vocabulary aspect

aamstih:
Which part of verbal are you struggling with?

Barron 333 words mixed with magoosh vocabs and garnished with vocabulary.com is the perfect recipe. Trust me

I highly appreciate the tips given in this thread. I personally love learning everything new, but I hate doing my homeworks. As a rule, I ask my friends do my assignments for me or just use a special service - https://www.assignmentexpert.com/do-my-assignment .

I did as you said. I searched gradcafe and from the look of things I have a chance because I have good publications. Also am sure of two nice LOR. All I need to do now is ace GRE quantitative with atleast 167 and analytic writing 4.5. Hopefully with prayers I could get in.

I don't know much about the school but their engineering programs are rated well. Also, you won't have any issues with funding if you are admitted. The acceptance rate online says 25-30% for grad programs but it could be whittled down to something relatable to you if you contacted the grad coordinator for this information.

As a rule of thumb, I check the reddit pages of my prospective schools and then I also calculate a rough estimate of the acceptance rate by counting the rejects and accepts for PhD programs on grad cafe.

You may want to search 'UCSD or UC San Diego Electrical Engineering' on the grad cafe search box and make sure the search runs for all times. You can even know the profiles of some accepted/rejected students if you click that red diamond icon by the side.

Hello guys i'm currently applying into the University of Alberta canada for MSc in Agricultural Economics. Please anyone who has idea on the chances of getting admitted as no Exam such as GRE nor IELTS is required for the program admission.

The GRE can strengthen your app for Canadian schools. If you get 300/340 better. But I would advise you to aim way higher and even try some US schools. You could get funded and job prospects are better in the US even though Canada is great as well!

Thanks

Publications help PhD apps better sef. But that 167 is very doable as well as the 4.5. Just try to be perfect in your first Q. I have a conjecture on how GRE scales scores though it is not fool-proof but every thing seems predicated on the first section.

If you get 20/20 in the first Q and 15-17/20 in the second your scaled score could be between 164-168. Yet someone else with 18/20 and 18/20 in the second would get between 163-167.

The first section is usually easy and you would most likely have time to revisit all your questions when done. Please, don't feel like some Maths Savant; make sure you review almost all your questions. You might see silly mistakes that you made especially in the Qty comparison section.

As for section 2, just pray. There are usually too many traps and pitfalls. Also pray you get 2 Quant sections and 3 VRs (1 experimental) so you would know what you are vying for. In my first GRE, I played with my last Q as I thought it was my experimental section. I still bite my finger in regret. I got 12/20 in it and 19/20 in the first section and my scaled score was 162. I knew that section I played with had to be the experimental because the diagnostics showed that I failed numbers 17-20 down (I did not attempt them at all )

zaynabola:
Thanks

Sent. You can remove your email.

Actually based on accept on gradcafe most schools value publication for PhD application. I believe 167 is doable also. Thanks for the encouragement

eastafro:

do you think this enough?

You would never know all the words in the GRE but if you know all the words on those lists, you would be able to eliminate many options enough to be left with the answers.

Well, it mostly depends on how rich your vocabs were prior to commencement of gre preps.
