How was it?
Bro, I didn't even scale through the first stage o (almost did sha). I actually was mentally disconnected from the job when I learnt it's actually a job at North Central of Nigeria, not Lagos! Also, that the person (s) is (are) expected to resume work by October 19 or so (and I would still be doing my NYSC by then; finishing next year February btw). Also, it's actually a SALES job, forget the grammar: 'RETAIL DEVPT MANAGER'...lol.

So, I was already disinterested in the job after being told all this before we even started sef. sad Then, during d test (in which time was obviously a constraint, but I ain't complaining about that), a female invigilator stopped me after seeing my nysc ID card on my table (as a means of identication) and challenged me that how did I even get to enter the exam hall since I'm still a corps member When no be say na me invite myself for aptitude test! angry

They almost wavered it for us that were quite close to the cut-off sha but whatever, 'wasn’t interested in the job after the 'enlightenment'. Nevertheless, the experience was worth it and big congrats to those that passed. I am not making excuses for not passing, I am just sure the job wasn't for me in the first place.

Our best is yet to come. Thanks bro dcaliph for your help till this stage. I appreciate.

Make I give you some tips Ogbeni.

The first stage I think comprises of 30 quantitative questions and 30 verbal ones too. Time alloted: 60 minutes, that is, 1 minute for 1 question.

The time is actually short considering you wouldn't be allowed to use calculator! First jump to questions you know and you would easily solve ooo, in the shortest time. Keep glancing at the clock so you can guess at the rest you're yet to finish (there is no negative marking bro).

The quantitative comprises majorly of graphs, pie, bar charts and tables. Know your percentage and ratio very well.

Verbal consists of sentence corrections, antonyms and synonyms (words like Nefarious, bolster, gaudy were asked), comprehension (be careful not to allow this waste your time oo), and some analytical part sha.

After passing this stage I think, is the CBT. Best wishes.
