Like i said before, they are obviously a lazy organization. Their algorithm is definitely flawed. It should have been set up such that you do not get the same passage more than once. If you get the same passage then it means you're really solving 20 questions in 34 minutes because you are not getting any new information for the other 16 questions.

@ all in this rat race to oil and gas,the lord is our strenght.pls for those invited for chevron facilities engineer (electrical),is there goin to be a skill test apart from usual Dragnet's verbal,numerical and abstract reasoning tests,why am asking is cos there are up to four (4) variants of facilities engineer some with graduate level some not.pls guys did theirs last week,am soliciting on behalf of those invited to she more light and my mail from chevron says come with ur calculators!!.any useful comments is highly welcomed.

i mean guys that did theirs last week should give us info.

Well, ppl keep insisting that you don't need calcs for the test, but I beg to disagree if only I can reproduce all my questions. My thinking is dragnet is got some weird algorithm in place that has no particular format in ordering one's test, cos really, how do you explain someone having 2 comprehensions repeated and anoda 1 and anoda none.... As a matter of fact, this should be sounded out to who ever cares to listen, dragnet obviously have got a very small pool of questions to draw from hence this gaff on their side. I really do hope a lot of person pass yet again so that MOBIL can use their own real test which SHL... I rest ma case

I came across this blog online that has a lot of excellent posts that can greatly aid a job seeker and a career person. I checked the 'About Me' page and it's owned by a recruitment consultant in Nigeria. I'll advice you guys check it out. http://grabthatjob.wordpress.com/

I agree with you on the algorithm flaw, cos while some people got only short passages, others a fine blend opf short and long, I got 4 long passages the type you have to scroll down to read the ret of the passage. and coming to think of it that some people had 2 passages repeated and one person claiming he actually got only one passage...as in one passage repeated 4 time, loooooool (omo see favour, lol), Dragnet is just a mockery of everything an aptitude test stands for.

But brother, apart from the initial shock one who has practiced with calculators will have once he steps into the hall and receives the surprise, I still believe the questions can be tackled without calc and you still have between 2-5 mins to spare depending on the pool/batch of questions you receive for the day.

Again incompetence is inexcusable, this does not in any way imply that Dragnet is doing alright, they sure will drag themselves into their own nets sooner than they can even imagine it

It is bad for Dragnet to repeat comprehension passages, as mine wasn't repeated. I strongly agree that this numerical can be solved without a calculator. I did mine without a calculator and I was able to finish on time. If Dragnet repeats this numerical in Chevron test next week, then I won't need a calculator for the test. If Dragnet's tests were only based on numerical and abstract, then I won't be scared of 85 percent cut-off mark. To me, verbal is the only challenge in Dragnet test, though I was able to read all the passages and answer all in verbal, but I'm not too sure of my answers in verbal.

Please sir..send me the e-books in ur possession.Be of help to a brother.my mail add: [email protected]

One thing dat keep botherng me is why nigerian organisatns are grossly incompetent? Is it somtin abt us nigerians? Listen to testimonies emanatng 4rm here? Imagine a friend told me he had just 12 questions in his abstract sections and virtually all were repeat of canceld one which he already had. I dont think this incompetence is just abt dragnet, it is somthng dat hv pervaded our land? I ask: is mobil not supose to second pple to dragnet to ensure d test were fair esp afta d first shock? Did they hv a single rep in those halls? If not, why? They fail in dat regard too. Above all, Nigeria stinks. We seem unable to get anythng done well. Not just in dragnet but everywhere. Too, too sad.

brother...in as much as I would not have you cast Naija like this, I however will agree with you...but, I will still ask you the same question I ask anyone who cares about Naija; What is the way forward? Are you doing anything to remedy the situation cos peeps only look at the Abj based guys, but see our conduct in as little as an aptitude test in this house...so what are you doing in your own way to remedy the situation??

Its good to list everything that is not right with Naija, but how do we o about fixing them...from your own perspective, and in your own capacity?

One love bro

My broda my only belief is to put my best in anythng i do. Collectvly it is difficult to change anythng. I cant control how others behave but i can control my reaction. One shldnt do evil to correct evil becos evil remain evil irrespective of circumstance. My mesage has always been let all in our individual capacity seek justice and it shall sum up and bring welfare to our land. One love.
