Luxlyangel and co if i catch una eh.... Una wan give me High BP? Abeg if na ruff play stop am..... Lol:...! My eye be don red!
This has got to be wrong trust me. i simply dont believe tests only measure ur right or wrong answers. it also has to with speed and accuracy. check the theory below and see if u believe in what u said WE WANT: RIGHT ANSWERS A scores 15/16= 0.9375 B scores 21/30= 0.7 WE WANT: SPEED A could do 16 B could do 30 WE WANT: LESS TIME (ASSUME 17MIN TEST) A finished in 1/17 B finished in 1/17 (time constant, immaterial) WE ETC ETC ETC ... ... Finally, S_U_M WHAT WE WANT A scored 0.9375*16*...=15 B scored 0.7*30*... =21 Though i used to think like u before until... it will be a long story, got to go now You know if what u said was right what wud u say of someone that did say 5 questions and blasted those 5. trust me..not what u think Btw i want anyone to criticize my theory. gues i want to learn tooQuote:

king fisher I agree with u, u guys should chill and wait for the outcome.......... abeg .
@king_fisher-well said. I tire for dat guy sef. I tot he was solving a mathematical equation in dat comment. Smh
Pls dear LORD ans my prayer and d gud prayers of my fellow hopefuls on this Shell recruitment. Let it end well for us oh LORD, I make my prayers 2rw Jesus Christ our Lord Amen!
Thank God It's Friday!
LWKMD!!!!!! NNA all this permutation, combination, probabilities no be am oh,If them call you, shikenan kawai!!!
A aaa? guys why now. this one u guys are just attacking me because i was trying to share what i think wud give perhaps an edge in tests. or u are just trying to post smthing. Really u guys shud chill too jor. my last post actually looked beyond shell. if u check d 2nd sentence i was talking about tests and not shell. shell test only being one of the numerous tests weve done. is it bad to share idea that cud help my fellow nhjbers in the future. look beyond d now jor. i just felt like telling what i did to pass last years dragnet cadbury test for example. which happened to be what the other guys that were invited for the ac did. actually 50 out of abt 10K people were inv n i happened to be among. there was 1 thing we did in common: we all shaded everything. Mind u im not saying if u dont shade everything u will not pass a test About shell test i wud just advice to start ac preparation. Even if one doesnt get invited (well lets hope this doesnt happen to anyone here), the preparation for SHELL (which wud involve much drive, motivation) will surely help in boosting ur confidence in say, a "lesser" companys ac (assessment centre) we will get there I feel more like sharing something than feeling edgy about shell: here u guys can download this, one of the things i have, to boost ur vocab, speech. The password is Lockheed
Takia.
Hahahahahaha...dem still dey calculate pattern 4 the test wey we don write since? Lol.. Guy them don mark dat tin finish so the ppl wey pass don enter list of Srd candidates. Na logistics shell dey do now 4 SRD. Test don go since, even if u wan do integration by parts, wetin don dey, don dey.
Na only God!
I totally agree with @lockheeds submissions. You cant get 5 answers right out of five and then do better than someone who got say 17 out of 30. The logic doesn't follow through as the test was time as well as accuracy based. But its not the real bone of contention here. Shell would take the CART (those columns on leadership experience etc), Host community, age as well as performance into cognizance whilst shortlisting people. After that it would be part merit and most man-know-man. Dont ask me how i know.
@lockheed, well done man. I undastnd u vividly.
@oblongatar-lol at d 'dnt ask me hw I know'. Hmmmm. U said its "part merit and most man-know-man". Wots ur source?
@lockheed,u just "hit †ђξ nail on †ђξ head".....lol,nice assertions there.quite encouraging
Why can't pple relax for once? For someone to extrapolate 15/16, 21/30 into 5/5 for a test with up to 30 questions is simply silly. You could have as well ask of somebody who attempted and got only 1 question. Whatever, that was a post I put up in May. If you had checked well, U would have seen other functions I put then that had to do with age, state of origin, credentials, etc, so don't even get too excited thinking it's only what you scored in the test that matters. All those ones are irrelevant at this time since the selection for SRD might have been completed, suspended or even cancelled.Quote:

These posts are quite funny! SHL make use of Sten Scores (standard ten scores)..
From my research experience with SHL, I understand that they report scores in "percentiles", that is, how you performed when compared to other candidates. Every firm will have their own "cut-off" percentile that candidates will need to achieve for each aptitude test. I will assume that for a big firm like Shell, this could be anything between 60th - 70th percentile.
Obviously they will need to arrive at a raw score first prior to calculating the Sten score and then ranking candidates in percentiles. These raw scores are based on "norms". The norms are used to compare the candidates results to specifically selected standards. A norm group is a group of similar others, this could be for example Technical Graduates or Engineering Graduates or Chemical Engineering Graduates, whatever rocks Shells boat I guess.
From this, standard deviations and means of different norm groups are calculated, and used to work out the candidates standard score (Z-score) - In simple terms, a standard score Z is a function of a raw score X. Once the standard score has been calculated, the STEN SCORE can then be worked out. Usually, a sten of 6 to 7 is average, atleast 5 in 30 people might end up with a sten of 6 or 7.
As an example, if 2.3% of students had a Sten Score of 10 (out of 10) - these candidates are in the 97.7th percentile (perform better than 97.7% of the group). There are standardised charts for this conversion.
For More Information on Sten Scores:
The Sten (standard ten) is a standard score system commonly used with personality questionnaires. Stens divide the score scale into ten units. Each unit has a band width of half a standard deviation except the highest unit (Sten 10) which extends from 2 standard deviations above the mean, and the lowest unit (Sten 1) which extends from 2 standard deviations below the mean. Sten scores can be calculated from Z-scores using the formula: Sten = (Zx2) + 5.5. Stens have the advantage that they enable results to be thought of in terms of bands of scores, rather than absolute scores. These bands are narrow enough to distinguish statistically significant differences between candidates, but wide enough not to over emphasize minor differences between candidates.
-----------------------------
Anyways, to cut my very long story short, YES - SHL look at right and wrong answers, not just in a very obvious way! Your scores have no business with speed or accuracy, if they did SHL wouldn't advice candidates to "make educated guesses" and "boost your chances" if unsure of the answer will they?
Y'all shouldn't quote me sha, things could have changed. Moderator please delete this post if you find it unecessary!!!
the Storck man, you are so on point with this analysis, esp for shl...yes!
Mehn! See wetin Shell dey cause for boys oh! I can't laugh enough...
Abeg Shell, calm this tension and release boys for SRD.
LOL, no tension oh!! I just dont understand how most of us call ouselves engineers, and yet produce soo many vague theories. Let everyone turn to God please - speed, accuracy or not its still God!!
Mehn, dis tin is turning to smtin else. U go fear analysis nahh. Pple be busy doing analysis yle shell are about sending mails to doz dat made it to d SRD. Congrats and goodluck in advance to doz dat made it.
Oboy see mind-boggling analysis! I must hail.
A very good passage for Dragnet, especially now that folks are calling on them to increase their pool of questions. I hope they find it on time.Quote:

@ Lockheed...I was among the 47 (not 50) @ Cadbury. By the way, I didn't shade everything @ Dragnet's test. In fairness, most of us didn't. We just shaded the right answers. I believe every test has a way of punishing GUESSWORK, that's why they are called ABILITY tests.
hunkygee nwanne, ke kwanu?
@StorckTL87 this your passage would make a good comprehension material! hehehehehehe
hw can i be a part of these?
please let me know.
@yusufbin, be part of what? Expound.
A dim mma , LMAO....!
Hi all.
From past recruitments does anyone know how long it takes shell to call for srd? Its been over 2months since the test
. . . less than 1 month. Big reason to worry about this one.Quote:
