What a test, used every atom in my body to write the test... I still failed
I wonder if I can fail the people that passed must be geniuses

The people that passed aren't better than you. They were simply more prepared than you. Don't just prepare, prepare with the right materials (books)....

Meanwhile, pls who know When IARCS dept will conduct their AC?

I was reschedule anyway. for some of us dat are using NECO result without date of birth on it and we have been using age declaration and certificate of birth from hospital, does it mean we don't stand a chance to write the test.
For those that have written, does their question correlate with GMAT? becos I no Dragnet with funny questions, I can't forget my experience in first bank test last year, am still trusting God for his miracle sha. thanks! urgent response pls.

I believe you stand a chance. Someone used his WAEC result printout yesterday, and that doesn't carry date of birth. They just checked the DOB on his Birth Certificate, and allowed him in.

How do GMAT questions look? I'm asking because I've never practised GMAT.

Anyway, I got many questions on speed, distance and time - not straightforward o; I actually had to guess the answers to some. Some questions involved calculating length of train based on speed and relative speed of another train, blah blah.

The "English" part had questions about simplifying the underlined parts of sentences. I got about five questions like this.

I also got questions about the relationship between words. Something like "From the options, find the pair of words that have the same relationship as the given pair of words." E.g., "SALT : DESALINATION", "PURIFICATION : DROSS", "MERCURIAL : MOOD", each question showing different relationships.

There was another group of questions about two teams on a Camp with five "secure zones" each on both sides of the camp. Some information was given about the positions of each group's secure zones, and questions were asked about them. Questions like, "From the information given, which of the options is the complete list of Team B's secure zones?".

Some questions came up on percentages too. Like, percentages of percentages. Got a question, "If there's a discount of 10% on a product, and a subsequent discount of 15%, then what exactly is the total discount on the product?"

Then, I got some General Knowledge questions. What do the horses on the Nigerian Coat of Arms represent? Who composed the Nigerian National anthem? Who was the first female VC in Nigeria? What is the full meaning of KPMG? A friend of mine said he was asked of President Donald Trump's inauguration date. Lol.

So, I guess you can judge if these correlate with GMAT questions, because I really don't know.

All the best.

Everyone who passed the aptitude test was taken to another room to write an essay immediately.

I wrote mine yesterday, and we were told that those who make it through the essay will get mails for an online assessment before Wednesday. Results will be out within 48 hours, and that'll be the last step before interviews et al start.

Lol@"Oliver Twist".

My Essay had two questions to answer one.

1. "Write an essay on a topic of global importance, explaining why it is of global importance" or something like that sha.

2. "Organisations make money and pay taxes to the Government. The government in turn uses the money to develop infrastructure and improve social amenities. The Organisations then sit back and wait for the government to do everything concerning these social amenities as long as they pay their taxes faithfully. Should this be so? Argue for or against Social Corporate Responsibility".

This is a paraphrased form sha.
