@ Great_Great,

Yes, they have a center in London. I'm based in Manchester so I'll be doing mine at London. Thumbs up for the guys who have given some feedback on the test. All the best to all of us!

Heard that NYSC Batch A corps members were not allowed to do the test in Lagos. How true is this please?

I wrote in abuja today. same format as we expected: verbal (20 questions, 16 mins), maths (20 questions, 16 mins) and abstract reasoning (16 questions, 16 mins). 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!

Pls did dey allow calculator in abuja?

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.
