all d best guys, all who sent in PMs please bear with me, I will ans y'all
Facilities Eng Electrical, what's the way forward, any tips????????????
Thanks and God bless!!!Quote:

Guys in the UK, any news as per the venue????
Pls don't mind the pidgin English(as a Warri guy) . Abeg, wetin person wey no study Electrical/Electronics/Instrumentation Engineering go read for the skill test? If he carry Theraja to read, in no go enter,in carry other textbooks,in dey enter small small. Abeg, make una help am with any Instrumentation & Control keypoint book(like those ones wey we use for WAEC). Make man pikin head no scatter cos of Job. I dey laugh cos wetin man pikin go do. LoL.
For the FE Electrical folks, here's a site where u can work through some objectives questions. I hear the main test ain't MC questions but at least this should help brush up. Cheers and all the best on Thursday.

so i wrote my process skill test by 9am today. tis all good.... my conversion enabled calculator was a life saver tho o:)
congrats bj4hvn, please how did it go? I look forward to your testimonies...dem go plenty!!!Quote:

Omo, see how Chevron dribble boys. Well, its all good.
Infact,we over prepared for the skill test hoping to get very hard challeging questions but they gave just basic tricky questions. Thank God for everything.
[email protected] go yakpa.. God go seee us through sha
Triple C ... Amen oo amen and amen thanks. I didnt expect the fluid mechanics part.. But i did wat i could n left d rest 4 God.. The Economics part 2 mehn.. Den some safety manual studd 4 process ppl mehn.. God dey but for subsequent skill tests tho.. I got an FE manual n 1001 solved eng calc book dat cud help.
was it theory or OBJ
theory mehn.... all calculations.. dont get it twisted.... its 'an examination' yo!Quote:

please your response is highly appreciated
Please bros can u help me with that Manual cos i have a test next week for Total reservoir engineering....if u have a material that can help please here is my email,[email protected]Quote:

A guy who wrote for Electrical indicated that they were six (6) general engineering questions meant for every damn person to answer. Then two (2) more questions, according to him (Nos 19 and 20) for Electrical and Instrumentation. He maintained that there were questions on economics, volume calculations (involving unit conversions from inches to feet to meters), physics and then typical electrical question in the position specific part without giving formula (thereby giving an edge to those who studied electrical engineering).Quote:

I heard some electrical guys re yet to write, so pls be wise not to put those that have written at an undue disadvantage.
Anyways, @Triple C, the test turned out to be an exam, at least, for Mech engrn guys! SMH!
Good luck guys...
tot everyone has written...the test was 30th everywhere and for everyone....it is well oh!Quote:

@ all
I think a few people here and on the other thread have said it all. I'd just try to shed some light as it affected me participating in the skilltest for the Chemical engineering position. The questions 1-6 were compulsory,psycadellic and exactly as others have said.
The chemical specialty exams for graduates was 11 and 12. The ones for experienced was just next to it and like most people have already said it was much easier than the graduate one. The graduate section had a question on fluid flow where bernoullis equation was to be employed. Here we were to draw a simple diagram of the process, label it and then answer about 6 questions under it. The questions were based on the velocities of the pumps inlet and outlet orifices, Reynolds no, pressure drop etc (I believe mech/subsea guys did the same first question). The major gbege there was the useless conversions from bbl/d to cu.ft/sec for the flowrate and the conversion factors they attached to some of the formulas they provided. for e.g, the reynolds number equation had a 123. something multiplied to the (density, ave velocity.../dynamic viscosity). The dynamic viscosity here was in centipoise so one had to convert it to lbf-s/sq.ft. The actual questions asked here posed no serious challenges save the numerous conversions one had to endure sha. But by God's grace my scientific calculator came in handy.
As for the second question, I just dey vex as I see am. They asked something on the 3 components for a safety analysis as represented in the API 14C material. I thought this question was better suited for the experienced people that should have been grounded well in this area. Instead they gave it to us and it was worth 9 marks! The B aspect of it had another irritating question on the sizing of an orifice using one Qh=Ftf*Fp*sqr(Hw.......G somehwhere etc....) one nonsense equation like that sha. I still dont have a clue as to what the G meant in that equation. But Gods grace is sufficient. This question was worth 11marks!
I peeped at the process instrumentation question and i felt i would have faired better answering their first question (speciality) which was based on ISA symbology things like that sha. I read it by chance. lol
I have been kabashing since i wrote that exam yesterday oh especially as the NB just sent me a regret mail sometime ago. hahaha! My faith is the victory that has overcome the world-Dragnet, Workforce etc included.
I guess there was some Typo, actually the G should be S.G meaning specific gravity..
That was my suspicion too bro, but to play safe i stated it there- "since S.G in the equation is = 0.8". but what difference does it make? shey they said they just want to see the steps?Quote:

I'm hopeful sha. I always am.
Pardon me asking, i dont seem to believe that any civil engineer was called for the skill test, all i hear here is electrical and mechanical engineers been called. Pls can anyone in the ask confirm my doubts, because i took the graduate test for the position of a civil engineer and till now ve no info on skill test.
Civil Engrs were called. Skill tests for facilities Engr are over
They called Civil Engineers cos I saw some of them. At least 700 to 800 people (chemical/process, mechanical/subsea, instrumentation,electrical, civil etc.) wrote the test . We thank God for everything. Cheers

3. How do unit conversion* btw units e.g Pressure(kPa, mmHg, Torr), Temperature(Celcius, Kelvin, Rankine, Farenheit) Volume(Litre,bbl,cm3,m3),Flowrates(bbl/d,cuft/sec,L/sec,cm3/sec), mass(kg,lb), length(in,ft,m,cm, mm), time(sec, min, hr, dy, yr)
4. How to do calculations using consistent units*.
5. How to apply common industry based decision-tools/equations/formulars*.
6. How to work using field units(FPS) to report answers.
7. How to work solely without an HANDBOOK ; given only datasheet,formular sheet, tables, charts,calculator.
Hey guys! We Care the antidote heals but only God saves.
iOS+Droid...u r sooo on point
How about those that sat for business analyst position? Any news? Help people!!! Help!!!!!!!
Where is Akan A1??
My frnd, AKAN A1 is in pluto. Would u meet him there?
Chevvy don do me strong thing. I need some time 2 get over it :D
@Akan A1,hw strong is a strong thing? U're not alone in d mata.D test was a huge falling of hand 4 majority despite heavy preparatn. I hav no idea why they hav 2 make guys look stupid but hope workforce did u well?
Really made guys look stupid I tell you. All the preparations & book worming in the world would not have fully prepared 1 4 that test. The Electrical/Instr. & Control Graduate section favoured Electrical grads more than those that read Electronics or Instrumentation in school. Anyway sha na only God know those wey go eventually make am.
As 4 Workforce NBL I was sent a congratulatory msg that I've proceeded to stage 2. Thats some encouraging news anyway but I just pray they are not going to call guys out just to make us look stupid. lol :D
