Maybe its just you and a handful taking it in the UK. It really shouldn't be hard for them to have it scheduled at their office in london for you but such is the incompetence you have to deal with.

i disagree wit you, i sent a mail to d bibian guy to reschedule d test but he responded dt dey cant reschedule as "the test will hold on same day in lagos, UK and USA to protect d integrity of the test".

How did u get a response about the Uk venue, I contacted them with no replies. where is the venue in Uk?

thank you dynamo1 and goodluck

There is a difference between between rescheduling and "change of venue"
Also, do you know of anyone writing the skills test in the USA?
I have not heard of anyone going over to "1600 louisiana avenue" to write any skills test yet. So far, it's just the uk guys that wrote for petroleum. I think if they really wanted to cater they would have given these guys the centers the exact same way they did for the aptitude test.

I am inclined to go with 9jah, because if they actually catered for the guys outside they would have also given them a refund on TP...which never happened, not to spoil the fun for those writing this week, its just so u know how to schedule ur trips as there was no refund for the UK centre

Please @ Triple-C and others, do you guys know of any civil/structural facility engineer that was called for skill test. Am just curious. Please, I do appreciate individual response, thanks.

Earth Scientist had 3 hours to do their test, MCQ, a little of GeoPhysics, so much of MAP READING...a good understanding of 3rd year Map Reading will do you good, as reported by my friend who did the test for Earth Scientist.

Pet Engrs had
2 hours test
17 questions, section one had 10 to answer any 8, and section two had 7 questions to answer any 4.
Calculators were allowed
formula sheets were provided...but hmmm, that formula sheet is something else oh! confusing to say the least...but nevertheless helpful at some critical points.
Questions covered Petroleum Engineering, CHem ENgrg, Mech ENgrg, and EEE.
Reservoir Engrg, Well test, inclined planes, flow rates to fill a depth in a tank (mass balance things), decline curve, drilling (pressures), formation volume factors, solution gas, material balance, formation pressures and pressure gradients, force exerted in a tank by a column of fluid, API and specific gravities, weight in air and apparent weight in water (bouyancy things), resistors in series and parallel (power) etc.

Lots of conversions from one set of units to another...most answers were required in field units, Acres, bbls, lbs, Deg Rankine etc...please for those writing Facilities, know your Volume, Area, Length and Mass conversions wella.

best of all, do ur part...and Pray that God direct your last minute preps, go ahead of you to make every crooked way straight and empower your hands to excel.

You may not know how valuable this peice of information is but I tell you man, yo did a great job dishing out this piece. As a chemical engineer, I deem it appropriate to say that Chemical engineering is the widest beast of all engineering disciplines and no one can refute that. Separation technology alone can fill a library let alone thermodynamics or is it Bishop fluid mechanics that we ought not to pay due respect to. Anyway thanks for the info and yep, I'm done.
