thanks fam, you're the best! see u in training school

You'd start with your group discussion, make sure you are audible and make sure you give valid points to the discussion and make sure you take down notes of every thing discussed because you will need it all through the assessment.

For the logical and numerical reasoning, try and be VERY FAST in this section, they deliberately include impossible to answer questions in there to waste your time, immediately a question is taking more than 50 seconds then leave it and move to the next, you have barely one minute for every question, just 20 minutes to answer these questions.

For the presentation I have discussed that already above.

You'd write an essay as well as I have explained above.

Then there is an panel interview as well, be confident and cover all basic interview questions but make sure you prove that you would be an ASSET to First bank in regards to what you can bring to the table, then also know all about First bank so you can give you take on this if asked.

Then lastly, please dress to impress, appearance matters as well and there are points attached to that as well.
Also, psyche yourself that the AC is not some difficult thing and prepare for it well and you would turn out enjoying the whole thing, I just had fun through the whole thing and enjoyed myself, when you are not stressed you would perform at your best.

All the best to you guys still to do your assessment, you guys should get done already so we start expecting success mails for medicals/documentation.

So I was supposed to attend the First Bank AC this saturday but olowogbogboro has made a way for me where I thought there was no way. PWCs mail landed yesterday. For those still in the job hunt, never stop believing. God and Persistence are the keys. Never ever ever give up. I graduated in 2014, finished service in 2015. Wrote KPMG during service, I failed. Got to the last stages of the following: Access Bank, NSE, PWC last year, Sterling Bank but I wasn't employed. After 6 months of staying at home, I taught for 6 months and earned 25k teaching data processing and computer studies. Then I got a graduate internship position in a software development company where i have worked for one year up till now. Moral of the story, never ever give up. God is alive.

Thanks a lot. You have been of immense help, I will try my best to do as you have said and stay optimistic. You say they give us points readily available for us to present. So group discussions are only for the essay?

No, what you discuss with your group members in the group discussion is what you would use to build the information on your slides for the Powerpoint presentation, and its the same information you got from the group discussion you'd also use for the essay part.

So make sure you take down notes in your group discussion
