Good point, but what works for you might not work for others sir/ma. Everyone have their own assimilation rate or method of learning. Same link I use 'brabit' gives free lectures, free magoosh online access et al. Because you've smashed Latino no mean sey Chinese babe no go make sense pass am
the WhatsApp contact of brabit I reached out says there are no free lectures, please come clarify for me please.

1. Send me a mail 2. Find what works for you 3. They do free lecture 4. It's this period I am seeing everyone clamoring for "GRE LECTURE". 5. I feel you should build yourself because one important aspect of GRE is knowing your weakness and addressing it + developing methods that works for you!

Good-morning gurus in the trend, thanks for your immense contribution to the trend and for keeping the trend alive !

please can someone help me with samples of strong LOR. I have gotten some from google and other websites and i have made a draft. I just need some more to supplement what i have and prepare a really strong LOR.

Thanks and God bless you.

P.S: I am yet to take the GRE and TOEFL. I intend doing this by April. The LOR is for other external scholarships.
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by AlphaPen(m): 8:58am On Nov 21, 2017
Congrats sir.
Please, may I have those GRE prep materials you have?
I plan to take the exam but I haven't registered. I however think it best to start preparing now.
Thanks a bunch.
Best regards.

Hello peeps,

I have been a silent viewer of this thread. The first day I came across this thread around May this year, I knew I had struck gold. I took the time to read from the very first page up to 200 and something page it was on then. May God bless the soul that started this awesome thread. I have in short benefited immensely. I download all the materials I've been prepping with. I simply download from the various Dropbox and google drive link posted by the well meaning brothers we have here. I printed on campus since it often cheaper. Although I spent close to 15k, I must say it's money well spent given the knowledge I've gained reading these materials and when compared to the cost of buying each of the materials from the bookstore.

I sat for TOEFL on Saturday, 28th October 2017 at JKK centre. I registered with MAFIT and while I had less than 2 weeks to prepare, I focused on the speaking and reading. I'm pretty good in Writing but I still had a little practice on both the integrated and individual writing task.

I had written TOEFL in 2014 so I was already familiar with the exam overall. I scored 98 at that time. A day before the exam, I practiced with the TOEFL iBT software and reviewed all the questions I missed.

My scores were available on Tuesday, 7th November after just 7 working days. I wasnt able to complete the Listening as there were 2 questions I couldn't answer before the elapsed. I guess that is the price I have to pay for trying to eavsdrop on other test takers who were already on the Speaking tadk while I was on Listening task. Below is the is the breakdown of my scores:

Reading-->25
Listening-->24
Speaking-->24
Writing-->28

Total--->101

I am happy although I was aiming for 105 upward with at least 26 in Speaking.

I've registered with BRABIT LTD for GRE. My test date is Friday, 24th November. I actually told them I preferred Saturday, 02 Dec so I have less time for preparation. They also offer free Magoosh online access which I'm enjoying already. The reg fee is 45k which is quite cheap when compared with most centres.

Below is my profile
B.Eng Agric & Bioresources Engr (4.06/5/0 CGPA)
M.Sc Environmental Engineering (5.4/7.0 CGPA)

My target schools are:
North Carolina State Uni, Raleigh
University of Massachusetts, Amherst
Temple University
Morgan State University

I'm planning to apply for Ph.D haven contacted POI in some of the school and getting the green light.

Gurus in the house please help me with tips on how to score above 160 in Quant's. Your comments are really appreciated.I have been using the Official GRE guide, Manhattan 8 Series and Manhattan 5lb and now I have access to Magoosh online prep. The problem is that my preparation has been on and off due to work and hustling.I'm a bit jitry. Another challenge is application fee palaver ($285) and transcript evaluation ish($325). I really need financial help people.

Can someone help me get in touch with someone outside the shores of Nigeria to help with payment in order to beat the high exchange rate? I really crave your help guys!!!

You can pm me
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by AlphaPen(m): 9:04am On Nov 21, 2017
Morning sir.
I have a draft as well for a Norwegian school. I could send it to you for perusal and evaluation if you don't mind.
However,I also second your request. I intend to write other ones for US schools. I trust that you can be a lamb and send the samples you get to me (winks).
Merci.
Best wishes.

Good evening, everyone. I've been reading this thread all morning and it has been very insightful. I'd like suggestions for best schools that'll be ideal to pursue an M.Sc in Corporate Finance or an MBA (I'm still undecided). Someone suggested University of California, Davis but I had a CGPA of 3.62 and I am yet to write either GRE or TOEFL so I can't tell my chances.

Search for more schools and add Nicholls State MBA to your list

Had my GRE after less than a month serious prep...thanks to hints on this thread
Q 154
V 152
AWA 3.5 ( funniest thing is I prepared for AWA two days before the exam)

In short, my advice if you intend to write GRE...Take time to practice, practice and practice (say two months). Gonna rewrite later, buh definitely not now.

My Profile

Course : Construction Management
CGPA : 3.89/4.00 ( WES)
Publications: 5

I'm applying to University of Florida( PhD Construction mgt), but the acceptance rate is 38%...Nonetheless, I'm optimistic.

Min Qualifictn. for the Department
Verbal- 146
Quantitative- 148
TOEFL- 80

Average is
V = 150
Q = 159
CGPA = 3.6

I have a supervisor there already who is very willing to supervise my thesis....

I plan to write TOEFL by December hopefully...

Kindly help out with schools suggestion.

Having a faculty willing to serve as your advisor is a very big one for admission!. University of Florida is a good school, work on other parts of your application process and apply to more schools.

Sure you can even with a 3rd class but you will have limited schools to apply to. People with 3rd class have gotten admitted to Tamuk and Missouri University of science and technology in the past. Try to Ace your test well, write a compelling SOP and get good LOR. Admission decision is determined holistically.

Any kind of envelope will do but it has to be addressed to your school and the seal point of the envelope must be stamped, without the stamp; that is not official.

Oregon state University. I have spoken with a Nigerian Professor there and he said they usually fund majority of their Engineering PhD applicants. I have seen your profile here and I think you should get in based on what he told me on a general note. Cheers.
