The passages weren't so long and the questions were not difficult but the time was not sufficient to answer everything. If you're writing in abuja tomorrow, beware - dragnet's organisation is very very poor, i was scheduled for 11am but ended up writing by 4pm!

what was the abstract reasoning like?

Aptitude Testing

In all cases, entry-level job applicants are
subjected to a standardized aptitude test and only those who score at or above
the pre-established cut-off mark are shortlisted for the second level of
testing. HR determines cut-off marks in consultation with representatives of the
hiring department.

Skill Test

A skill test is usually
administered for those who are advanced past the aptitude test; especially for
Medical, Engineering, Geoscience, Computer Applications, Accounting and other
Technical positions. This stage assesses the technical knowledge of candidates
in their area of expertise. This test is administered by our Technical Training
Unit, the hiring department, or an authorized external consultant. In each case,
HR coordinates and supervises the testing. Only candidates who meet the
pre-determined cut-off mark for the skill test are invited for an oral
interview.

Oral Interview

Having passed through the
previous two stages, the candidate is taken through an oral interview. This
could be by a panel or on one-to-one basis. The oral interview uses Behavioral
Event Interviewing methodology to evaluate competencies and attributes of the
candidates to determine his/her suitability for the vacant position. The
interview also provides the candidate with an opportunity to get a better
understanding of the position, the work location, future personal development
and career opportunities, and other information about the hiring
organization.

Recommendation

After the final interviews are
concluded, HR provides a summary of the interview from the interviewers' notes
and recommendations are reviewed with representatives of the hiring department
who make the final selection decision. Management approval is required prior to
job offer evaluation.

For those writing on Saturday, I received a mail of some questions from dragnet's floor mill test from an email address, try sending them a mail [email protected]

Come on now son! Nobody's falling for that. Let me guess, you send an email to that address, and then they respond by telling you to pay some money to get the questions right. Move on abeg.

So,i got a mail sent to me by one Okoedion Derek yesterday,friday 6th july 2012.it has "invitation for engineering aptitude test" as the heading. I want to think it's mobil's but then their test is already on going. It says i'll get to hear from dragnet soon. Anyone with a similar mail as of yesterday?

I got d same message from them..kinda confused

@edkay n kaiza. Itz lyk itz gonna b in batches. Wat course did u two study n wat were ur grade?

got the same too

Bsc geology-2.1 and Msc pet eng-2.1. Good to know i'm not alone

@Iwaks- Bsc geology 2.1 and Msc pet. Eng. 2.1

Pls how was the PH center? Can sm1 show his invitation notice frm his bb or must be printed and again do they allow calculator?

D mail na d same from mobile only that u guys got it late. It reads [email protected]

Hi guys,

After doing my test yesterday I received an email from this Exxon staff (like @edkay) informing me that dragnet will contact me for my test invitation. Now this morning am receiving an email from Dragnet telling me to choose my preferred centre. Something have don before!
To make it complicated, the I'd isn't the same as the previous ones. Now am super confused!!!

Yes, that's true. I got the email like 8 hrs after my test in London yesterday.

@lolliba, does that mean we have to dismiss these emails???

yea..same here...i got another mail with a different username and password to choose location..its very likely theres some sort of duplication on dragnets platform...and mobils...coz i got that mobil mail a second time....i think to avoid duplicating data on ur side..stick to d 1st mail.......#thatsmyview

if u check the ids..the new mails show that the ids ve doubled...original mail i got..3*** now 7*** there must have been a duplication somewhere...if u have done the test already..i think u shld relax...u wldnt want to retake the test with another id...and now have two results ???...taking mine today...wld free the new email....

For the sake of all things sacred and getting a god job in this part of the world can some one send the skill test to [email protected] - c'mon guys one luv!!!

@ Flymary: Yes. I think we should dismiss the new emails.

We don't want to end up being disqualified for taking the test more than once.

Waiting for the results from the first test should be our main focus right now and preparing for the next stage as well.

I'm still trying to speak with someone from dragnet. The phone number on the second IV isn't going thru..

has everybody be invited because i am still waiting for my IV

@lolliba, cest bon mon ami. Merci

Just finished my test @Afrihub in Abj few minutes ago. Wishing myself &everyone all d best in our career. To my oga Triple C, I saw ur mail, tanx a lot; we need more people lik u on this forum.

@ alphaj, were u permitted 2 use calculator?

hmmm some people have been invited twice, I'm still yet to get one sha. God dey

@abyssolanrewaju: calculator was allowed. And also our certificates were checked

wat hav i done to mobil dat they didn't send iv.how did u receiv,sms or mail.GOd i nid mine.pls hint me wat to expect.gmat,gse or wat cuz dey must invit m

Guys, I do not think there is any mix up. Though I may not be able to confirm this. Notice the differences. This 2nd mail reads "Engineering Aptitude Test" and we are required to visit www.dragnetnigeria.com/exxon2012. The initial mail read "Unlimited Aptitude Test" and we were required to visit www.faceoftesting.com. My concern also lies in the change of userID and password. If u visit the new site now and login in, you will still meet your details intact. I think the question here is...."is there any difference btw Unlimited Apt Test and Engineering Apt Test"!

One luv!

@alphaj thank boss.Please not to b too inquisitive,what's d overall difficulty level of d numerical aspect?

@ dynamicfellow: That's quite true oh! I'm just giving what you said a thought now.

Is it possible we are already being invited for the skill test? That will be quite sudden, isn't it?

@ALL: there is a phone number at the end of the email. Always call for clarification.

I got the 2nd mail 2 & I'd to call. I was advised to proceed & select my test location because I must have applied for 2 positions. However, the second login ID will be deleted automatically if the system doesn't match me for a second position.

Wrt job, I can't remember applying for 2 positions but considering the fact that I also applied for 2012 Esso-MPN PG Scholarship, I did myself good by following the advice of choosing a location...

I hope it helps...

i had my test 9.00am on Friday,Lagos. i also got d second Mail from one Okon something and it reads "Engineering Aptitude Test".i hav not received the mail to select my preferred test centre

I am going to try and clarify what is going on as best as i can. IF you got the second email, you probably have two profiles on their system. From the look of things, the second email was sent to people who had submitted "unsolicited engineering position applications" in the past. If you turned in your application last year, you probably got this email. The first email invitation was specifically for those that applied to the 2012 engineering positions this year. Remember how so people were having issues applying for 2012 and decided to use another email? Thats probably why you got a second invitation. I think they are just trying to involve everyone that is qualified (an that has at least turned in an unsolicited application since the 2009 recruitment). Thats just my view sha. IF you got a second invite, just ignore it because it will b a duplicate

Hmmm....@catchwind. I also applied for the Mobil scholarship but when I observed that it was the same phone number as the first invite that was displayed after logging in (I used a different phone no for the scholarship), I struck out the invite as for the Scholarship. But anyway, will proceed as directed.No one knows

Actually, I was told otherwise by one of the dragnet staff.

I was told its a "systemic-type" (can't remember the guys exact words) issue. He said I should disregard the email I received asking me to choose a test location, and they will check their systems to see if the individual has written the test, before sending out a new invite. :confused: So hopefully, those of us who have written the test already should not be seeing the actual invitations coming in.

i don't think so..Im yet to write mine n i got d second iv with Exxon

Guy, we're saying the same thing. Dragnet only issues out invitations based on what they get from exxon. The issue originated with exxon. Like i said before, if you've already gotten a test date and you get a second invitation, ignore it.Better yet, just call for clarification
If the invitation is your first, then go ahead and sign up

You prolly have two profiles or you prolly applied to another position last year. Ignore the second one and go for your test. Best of luck. I believe they decided to invite every qualified person that applied to them (including other job postiions) --- Either that or someone in their HR got sloppy
