Hi, I J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ got an email calling me for a KPMG aptitude test on saturday.

Don't be too sure of the essay topic. I wrote the test on the 8th of february. My essay topics were "who is your role model and why?" And one other strange topic like that.

@op, aside the critical reasoning, I doubt any part of the gmat questions would pose a challenge. Best of luck

I applied and am yet to get my invitation,pls hw did u people appply nd do u knw if they call batch by batch?

Pls I got d mail too. Venue is lagos. Bt wen I applied I wasn't rily serious wit it because I read Geology,which is a science course. Now I'v bin invited shuld I stil go for it? Is it worth it? Its nt my field,can I cope?
