Hey Mi-gurl, congrats, I took the test in Feb/ March, for the same position, you should expect two test on your first day, you would write an Essay, which is the first stage, the Essay is for 20 minutes, when I took mine, my batch was asked to write on the saying "while there is life there is hope" I don't know what topic you would be asked to write on, but try to improve on your speed. Immediately after that, you would be take the test for the second stage. It comprises of about 25/30 Numerical/ Verbal reasoning. The Numerical is a GMAT format, but I would advice, like I did, move over to the Verbal (Comprehension passages) and endeavour to answer all making sure you get all 100% if possible on the verbal, then you can revert to the Numerical and attempt the ones you can. Then you may guess on the others. *smiles* well, that was what I did. If you are successful, you would be invited to the 3rd stage. It was @ this stage I lost it. Its purely SHL, comprising of Numerical and Verbal. The Numerical comprises of 7 charts/ Pie chart/ Bar chart and Histogram, each comes with four questions. You are expected to use the diagram to answer four questions in 3 minutes. You have to be very fast. Then for the verbal, you would be presented with 7 short passages, and in some cases two (where you would be expected to compare and contrast). Each passage comes with 4 questions as well, with a timing of 3 minutes. B4 I forget, Seun would tell you that you are expected to score. 50% or 60% in both, unlike the first stage where they summed up your score. I knew I did well in the Verbal, the Numerical was what got me out. The fourth stage is a Debate. I could help you with SHL sample questions if you don't have any. I had to go fetch SHL questions after that experience.
Wish you success.

Mi-gurl:

Wow Wizzy i thank you soo much for this quick response. This is very helpful to me. I'm so grateful. It sounds like a tough one o. Please i'll be most grateful if u can send me the SHL sample questions. Wow and an essay? Ok thanks a million Wizzy

U are welcome, I would send it to you 2moro. Just remind me, with a mail, nosliw4u-at-yahoo.com, no need panic, the first/second stage was easy for me, well maybe because I focused and did my home work on the Verbal, lots of persons were dropped after the 1st/2nd stage, pple wasted time on the Numerical because it came first, on the question paper. pls don't , just focus on your verbal. Turn over to the verbal, you are allowed to start from any where u please. Then when you are done, move back to the numerical and attempt as much as you can, and endeavour to write a great essay. I formulated a story, making myself the subject, saying it was difficult going thru primary education, and there was no fund for secondary, but I was hopeful.. Blah blah blah, just make ur picture real, while u cross your t's and dot your I's, making sure you work with speed.
