I'm so sorry about your result. I think I posted what I feel you should do earlier in this thread before you took your test. I was thinking you would reschedule the test. I can see you wrote the previous test on the 31st of October (If I'm correct) and you wrote the next a couple of hours ago. And given your range of scores, there could not have been much improvements. The prep time was just too short.

I would have given other suggestions, but the hard truth is funding may not be as feasible as when you have great GRE scores. Though other factors like your CGPA come into play. I know it's difficult to write again after two attempts, but if i were in your shoes, I'll write again but this time, I would do things very differently. I would still suggest you read my earlier reply and adhere to it. Also, if you can, at B.Y Mafit www.gregmattoeflnigeria.com/gretestdatesinnigeria and go for 10 weeks lectures straight. Also make use of the magoosh and Manhattan online prep they give. The Manhattan has lots of practice questions. All these resources are free. Also, while there, study groups and read arduosly. Then budget another 2-3 months for practice. I think there are some s here as well, though many of them would be outdated.

I know of a girl who scored just like what you scored, and took the steps I earlier suggested and had an upwards of 220.

Just as tCharlesVane said, the GRE turns the wise of this world to fools and gives great scores to a foolish underperforming person who knows what he's doing

If you can't rewrite, and it's an absolute no, then I may be able to point you in the direction of some schools that will likely give ission based on other factors with a low GRE score.
Hi Dear. Please am interested in the schools that gives ission with a low GRE score.
I rewrote mine for d 2nd time & it happened dt my first score was better 276.3. I didn't expect to score a 274.3.5. because I practiced harder but was itted in the hospital 2weeks to my exam. Infact I wrote my exam 2 days after I left d hospital.
So please, assist me with the schools.

GRE was not required, however, low GPA was cited as the reason behind the rejection. His undergraduate GPA is above the required figure. However, his MSc is below the required figure. He actually used his MSc as a which eventually turned otherwise; since his undergraduate GPA qualifies him for direct PhD ission.

Just your international port. You can also go with a pen as you'll be required to fill an attestation before the exam starts.

So sorry about the unfortunate incident that led to your scores. However, I would need your profile to be able to assist better. Please provide information on what you studied, your CGPA, what you intend to study, and what your preferences in a school are, if any. You can share here or send a private massage.

The magoosh is an online prep for the GRE that contains videos, exercises, lecture notes, etc. But you need to pay to get all these and B.Y Mafit gives you that access.

I don't know if it has changed, but modules are covered in phases. You should be able to flow whenever you though. Though they start new modules somewhere in between your class, so, even if it looks like abracadabra at first, you'll fit in gradually. The classes are interactive, so, you can always ask questions if not clear.

As per materials, the Kaplan is a good starting point. I would suggest you start with the Kaplan and magoosh with the Manhattan online prep accompanied with the lectures first. For me, I used the lectures as the major guide then used the materials to research more on what was taught in class. That worked for me cos I was able to use those mad shortcuts they taught. Others could have different combinations based on what worked for them. I've seen someone who used Grubers and said it worked like magic.

You can send it. Be careful how you share your SOP though so you won't be given a red card for plagiarism on your own essay, written painstakingly from your own personal discernment and brain wave.

Good day people

I have a quick question please.

For someone applying for an MS degree in the USA, does WES require WAEC to send his/her result?

I'm currently in Abuja working and the person helping me process my result from Lagos (which is where I had my undergrad studies) says WES also requires WAEC but I feel she isn't been sincere with me. How true is this please?

I mean, I'm applying for an MS degree and not a Bachelor's degree, so I don't understand the need for my verified WAEC result.

So please, I urgently need your opinions on this? For those who have applies for MS degree in the USA, did WES require your WAEC result?

Thanks.

just visit WES's website for yourself and check requirements for evaluation of results for Nigerians. How are we sure you would believe us if we tell you also? undecided So why not check it out yourself.

University of Utah should be happy to receive you. You can also check out Carnegie Mellon University, Florida International University, New Jersey Institute of Technology (Quite competitive) and Temple University (Great funding prospects)

Best of luck!

Dude. Please I asked for a second opinion because I wasn't sure. If you guys had concurred, I would have processed with the WAEC result.

No offence oga, but you sounded a bit rude with your reply. Try to sound more courteous next time please.

PS: I had visited their website and I saw it as part of the requirements but I wasn't sure if it was compulsory.

Anyways, thanks all the same

The WAEC requirement is a recent one. One can only imagine how many scam degrees WES must have recieved from Nigeria to include it.

So Yes, WAEC is part of the requirements and the evaluation cannot be completed until after they've recieved your verified results. By the way, ensure to include a scratch card along with your postal order.
