Hello House, I have been reading with keen interest the discussions on Flour Mills GSE test conducted two weeks ago. I must say that I feel the pains of those that performed below expectations in the test. However, the GSE is not as difficult as many people think. All that is needed to ensure success in the examination is adequate preparation. Let me start by giving you the test format. It comprises 3 sections in this particular order:

Verbal reasoning
Quantitative reasoning
Critical reasoning

The verbal reasoning part consists of 5 short passages. Each passage has 4 questions based on its contents. This part lasts for 17 minutes.

The quantitative reasoning part is similar in structure to the verbal part. It comprises 5 bar chart / pie chart / line graph / table. Each has 4 questions based on its contents. This part lasts for 17 minutes too.

The critical reasoning section lasts for 15 minutes and consists of 16 questions. Sample questions can be found on the GSE website.

Now to the tips- I have classified these into 2 categories namely: pre-test and during test tips

Pre-Test Tips

1. Prepare for the exam using computer-based materials i.e. COMPUTER ADAPTIVE PRACTICE TESTS. This is very important. Paper-based practice questions are not that effective. These materials could be software on CDs that can either play on the CD or installed as a program. I would recommend Arco Master the GMAT CD by Thomson Peterson. It comes with the textbook.

2. Polish up rusty math skills with suitable GMAT texts. This is because the quantitative reasoning questions are just secondary school mathematics/statistics!

3. Go to the examination hall with a calculator and a sheet of paper for they are useful for the quantitative section.
4. After all these, believe in yourself that you will pass well.

During-Test Tips

1. Don’t get stuck on a question. If you have no idea of the answer, leave it blank and move on to the next question by clicking on Next tab. You can’t afford to spend too much time on any problem. Remember you can always go back to the skipped questions provided your time is not up.
2. Guesswork is not advisable. DO NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS YOU DO NOT KNOW AS THERE IS NEGATIVE MARKING. THE SCORING IS SUCH THAT THE NUMBER OF QUESTIONS ANSWERED INCORRECTLY IS SUBTRACTED FROM THE NUMBER OF QUESTIONS CORRECTLY ANSWERED. The result is divided by the total number of questions in the particular section and then expressed as a percentage. The average of the percentage scores obtained in the 3 sections is the overall score.
3. Remain calm, cool and composed all through the duration of the test. Never panic.

FINALLY, I WISH TO STATE THAT I APPLIED THE PRINCIPLES ABOVE FOR THE FLOUR MILLS TEST HELD AT CHAMS CITY, LAGOS AND THEY WORKED FOR ME. I GOT 60% OVERALL (MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT GSE). THEY CAN WORK FOR YOU TOO.

guys I got this off a follow-up of the test conducted last yr, I hope it helps, would look deeper for a more specific detail

Section 1: Verbal Reasoning which is a short passage not more than 3 to 4 paragraph and you will use it to answer 5 questions but you will pick 2 most correct answers for each questions. this sections consist of 20 Questions, i.e 4 passage to be answered in 17mins.
Section 2: Numerical Reasoning which consists of charts and graphs like pie and bar chart consists of 20 questions to be answer.
ed in 17mins.
Section 3: Abstract Reasoning which consist of diagrams with pattern series and consist of about 17 Questions in not more than 10mins I can't remember the time for this section precisely but not upto 17mins.
NB. All their test consist of the 3 Sections but some cases arises in some company test that do have another section for Discipline test as in Larfarge. But all of the company usually include the 3 sections such as GSK, A multinational, Larfarge, etc
The test is very simple but the only constraint is the time. They do invite many people for the test since it is computer based but they will call the successful candidate for interview maximum is 2 to 3 weeks. All the best for the invitees.
