Following the call for application for the 3rd edition of the Xfire Nairaland Undergraduate Quiz Competition (scholarship) https://www.nairaland.com/4951170/annual-xfire-nairaland-undergraduate-quiz We received a total of 843 applications this year. However, only 707 candidates who applied before the deadline and met the criteria for participation has been shortlisted to partake in the online assessment. I would also like to point out that out of the 843 applications received, only 10.3% were from females.  Female Nairalanders should take this up as a challenge as we hope to see improvement in the 'stats' in subsequent editions. Following additional contribution of N20,000 by Abike12, N100,000 by an anonymous sponsor, N50,000 by another anonymous sponsor, and N150,000 Smeag01, the cash prizes / awards have been reviewed upwards and will be awarded to the top 30 candidates as follows: Winner: N190,000 1st Runner Up: N100, 000 2nd Runner Up: N65, 000 A cash prize of N30,000 and N27,500 will be given to the 4th and 5th best respectively as consolation. The 6th to 15th best will receive N7000 each The 16th to 20th best will receive N3000 each The 16th to 30th best will receive N1000 airtime each (or cash equivalent) This excludes pledges made by other sponsors Pass mark for test stages 1 and 2 is 60%. Therefore, awards will only be presented upon passing the minimum benchmark of 60%. If there is a tie, the candidate that completed his/her test in a shorter duration will be picked. Award winners will also be required to provide proof of their studentship (e.g. copy of student ID card, admission letter, tuition fee receipt, etc.) before they can claim their cash prizes. INSTRUCTIONS Please read the instructions carefully. Instructions for Sample Online Test 1.

To add to what Richiez said, it's best to get a good phone and make sure the network in your respective location is stable. Using Phone browser or battery or even network will not be entertained as an excuse. I will even advice you take the sample test as many times as possible using different Mobile network and browser to know which is best for you. 5 Likes 1 Share |

That timing isn't flexible enough for those of us that are working due to the ongoing ASUU strike. I doubt if I'll be able to take this test after all. |

The beginning of failure is not adhering to the instructions. Many people gave us a lot of problems during registration as they couldn't fill the simple form correctly. To excel in this aptitude test, you need to adhere strictly to the set instructions. Stay glued to this thread for important information and updates. I wish you all the very best 2 Likes |
