i might give this a try....just to see if its ACCURATE...coz i know it should be 100% est african...so if it says some dumb shit like north african then i'll know its a fraud 
Do multiple tests. That helps as well. Just don't take one and run with it. Give some room for error.
Everything I know from my grandmother has been confirmed so far consistently through a few tests. I've done AncestryDNA, GEDMatch and FamilyTreeDNA.
omg
luv, you're a bit obsessed now 
which one is the most accurate?! and how long does it take to get your results?
I'm so serious when I say I wanted true tea. And wanted to leave plenty of room for error.
Not taking one test and saying WOOO YEA! All she wrote! Lemme run with it!
The good thing is, I was able to simply download my raw, untouched DNA data from AncestryDNA, and simply re-upload it to different sites, which have different databases and standards.
I'd say GEDMatch is definitely the most accurate, though. In terms of PINPOINTING numbers. It gives you more of a percentage. But overall, I can't any of them were way off. For instance: AncestryDNA gives a range -- 1-2% NA blood, then GEDMatch gave an actual percentage 1.48%, whereas FTDNA rounded it off kinda -- 1% . So it all makes perfect sense. But Ancestry kicked both their asses when it came to pinpointing the African regions I am from. I felt like I really got a sense of it all
I'm still going to 23andme though for my full cup of African tea. I could give a fuck about the European numbers.
those genes are weak as hell in me anyway lolz.
lmao! 
results from Ances'DNA took 4 weeks. its worth it, once u send ur DNA in. it takes longest with them because they actually break ur saliva down into numbers. but once thats done, ur given a file and can use that at other places as well.
thnx for this review
I'm gonna do Ances'DNA
then upload to the other two sites you used

Get ready to get a little emotional
and VERY nervous before you open your results.
I don't know why I was a bit scared though.
I guess for anyone, especially African Americans....we have so many stories and own personal beliefs of our heritage floating around....so when it's time to get down to the real nitty gritty it's kinda like

Can't wait to see ur results, ethiopian princess
