I wrote my GRE today.. Twas not as I expected. As a first time taker, I thought it was just some baby exam. I start prep August, so my prep was just approximately 2 months.

Some bad luck started following me from 6am today when I woke up, I stood straight to stretch, not knowing the fan was not really far up, I ended up cutting my right hand finger nails into two, blood everywhere. This happened because it's not my house, I didn't know the fan was low. I went to a near by chemist to treat my self. This weakened my confidence as I could nearly hold a pen. (don't stretch if u aren't familiar with the room on the day of ur test ..)
Anyways I got to the centre in abuja 8:40am, the whole check in process was carried out and we started.
I have long Bern praying for 3 quants but after the incident I pray for 3 verbal( which I wasn't good at).
I wrote the test with the pain. Typing wasn't easy. But I know I did well in the AWA, my topics were sweet, straight forward, already worked on similar topics from the ETS pool of essays. I should write about 700 words for each, could have written more if I could be faster.

The first verbal was difficult, then I hard I tough quants, then break, another equally tough verbal, now I knew the first should be the experimental as I didn't really do well. The next quants was lot tougher than most practice test I have taken. What surprise me was that my last verbal was equally tough as the previous ones, I assumed I did well in the previous verbal, probably that's
Why I got another difficult one. Little did I know that I was joking with myself, all fantasy.

I will be having a rewrite by early December, by then I should have solved the mystery of verbal.
And please I will appreciate tips on verbal because I employed all that I knew during the test.

I clicked reports score and there was my 55k staring at me on the screen..
If u register GRE for a cheap price and u are genuine, please send me ur contact.

I beg coming test takers, forget the learning of big words, the GRE dosent have big words like that, its straight forward.. Learn few words, the common ones, forget advance words and Co.. U can use magoosh flashcard for.. My problem in verbal from practice yes has always been RCs which I sometime get 3 or 4 of 10, but TC and SE are good.

Stick to one material, the most important of all is the ETS materials, all the questions that fly around are not GRE like, some are extremely tougher without clues but GRE TC and SE gives u enough clues, just learn to find it in RCs too, that's my own issue for now..

For quants, ETS is also still the best.. Then u can use magoosh or Manhattan.
Princeton practice test is a very close predictor of your real score.

Good morning my good people.

My profile:

B.tech, Chemical/petrochemical engineering (2.97, Wes evaluation)

M.tech chemical/petrochemical engineering (4.33)

1 peer review published paper

Just registered for gre.

Is the profile strong enough to compete for a tuition-waived PhD program in the US?

kemade14:

What was your B.tech CGPA before Wes evaluated it?

I had a 3.46/4 but want to bypass Wes as I am limited by funds.

Paccus:
3.46/4 or 3.46/5

kemade14:

Sorry, mistake. It's 3.46/5

Paccus:

it will fall around 3.17 + or -

kemade14:

It's 3.46 not 3.64 oo.

I was told I can't do direct masters in Canada with this since it's a second class lower.

Hi everyone, I tired earlier to evaluate my GPA via WES but it seem pretty vague to me. My cpga is on a scale of 7.0 and I graduated with 5.1 (5.1/7 uni Ibadan) standard. What’s my likely GPA on a scale of 4.0 ? and kindly help with the processes of evaluating GPA on WES please...

I appreciate your inputs in proxy.

I also finished from UI few years ago when the school was still using the 7-point grading system.

Here is how to do the unofficial WES evaluation to convert your grade to its 4-point equivalent:

1. Visit https://applications.wes.org/igpa-calculator/igpa.asp
2. Create an account on the site.
3. Input each of your courses from 100–400L.

That takes some time but it's quite straightforward.

The service will then display your CGPA rated on the 4-point scale and mail it to you (for unofficial purpose).

Paccus:
yeah i know its 3.46... it will fall around 3.17/4.0.. you were thinking it will go below 3.0?? i don't know about Canadian schools, but you are good to go for US schools

Hi, sorry if I seem a bit naive. Can I go ahead and input my final project grade (long essay) in the data on WES ?

Note- the project UNIT (which is 7) is different from all other units and might affect the computations as a whole.

Thanks

gensteejay:

Yes. Number of units and your grade in every course you took in schools are to be supplied on the site.

Hello, everyone! I guess this is my first post on this thread since 2017!

I took my first GRE in September 2017 in Port Harcourt.
Total: 302. Quantitative: 149 Analytical Writing: 4.0

My second GRE was on August 9, 2019.
Total: 311. Quantitative: 159 Analytical Writing: 4.5.

The major reasons why I improved my quantitative score by 10 points are because I used better materials to prepare and I was more serious with my second exam. I spent about 90% of my 3 months study period on quant because I knew that I can score at least 150 in verbal and 4 in Analytical writing without serious preparation. For quant preparation, I opened a Word file where I saved important formulas and techniques for further revision. This was important because I had key concepts under my belt during the exam. I didn't get my target score of 160 in the quantitative section but that's fine.

An important lesson I learned from my exams is that mastering good materials is an easy way to improve your score. Future test takers should prioritize Manhattan, Magoosh, ETS guide, ETS math review, ETS powerprep plus, and Princeton Review. Also, taking practice tests are helpful. I took about 12 full-length practice test before my exam and my average scores in these tests are quite close to my main score. You should also have a robust template for the essays, you don't want to spend 2 minutes thinking about how to start your essay.

Complacency and not using the right materials were my greatest undoings when I took my first exam. Fresh out of college with a top GPA, I took the powerprep exam and got 156 in the quantitative section without any preparation. I thought I could do well in GRE without serious preparation. My scores proved me wrong. Actually, I used 7 months to prepare but I wasn't serious, didn't master important techniques, and did no practice test.

All in all, GRE doesn't care about your First Class. You have to respect the exam because it is not easy. Try to calm yourself down on the exam day by reminding yourself how well you have prepared and how competitive the other parts of your application are. If you let the GRE psych you out; you've already started failing!

Good luck to those planning to take the exam!
