In my honest opinion, DPR already know the candidates who are more likely to get the job based on test performance before interview.

How did you know Were you able to see/view yours.

Did you hear any comment from the interviewers

If they already know then they should them nah let d rest go to sleep.

We are just second-guessing. Someone said something about DPR/Oil and gas question. In my case i was asked a question asking me to advice a young secondary school student who wants to study my profession in higher institution. I wasn't asked any current affair but was asked to mention any two professional organisation linked to my profession. Ofcourse i was asked technical question too.

So it is not really about the question asked it is about soft skills and knowledge of subject.

Onyiridike is also right cos the APTITUDE test score was given greater percentage compared to the interview. You might come into the interview with a 60% test score it will be very hard to beat someone with 80% test score no matter how excellent your interview performance is and how average the interview of the 80% applicant was. And then we have the federal character to deal with.

So nobody can beat his/her chest and say i did well until the DPR themselves contacts...

Based on my experience in HR, a candidate's interview performance is a vital part of the recruitment process, because it not only tests the knowledge and experience contained in your resume, but also helps the interviewer determine if the candidate would fit into the organizational culture and possesses required soft skills like interpersonal and communication skills and ability.

The body language of the interviewers, particularly the lady when we got to the technical aspect, further reinforces this.

My modest opinion.

If I may ask, how do you know that the test score was given a higher percentage in comparison to the test?

Medicine after death.

As for me I am very sure I scored above 80% in the test because it was just a wash down for me. During the interview, I messed up on the technical question part but i got the current affairs section section pretty well coz the questions asked were;
-How many geopolitical zone, name them (check)
-name the states in the south west (i forgot ekiti though ahhhh)
-functions of DPR (check)
-Who is the secretary general of OPEC (check)

I am not really happy with my performance at the interview because of the technical part where I missed some questions. I am not really sure the aptitude test score will be also used to score candidates for the final selection because I know for sure NNPC last recruitment sometimes in 2011 they didnt make use of aptitude test score. final selection was based on interview score.

Dpr knows the best,all we can do is guess that's where the uncertainty comes from..
Let me share mine and I want everyone reading this to tell me what he or she think,
Interview was very interesting,but yunno that doesn't declare a good performance.
Just like have been asked so many questions and answering to the extent..
I was asked what is the full meaning of Ecowas which I answered then he went forward asking what is the capital of ecowas, at first I paused cos I haven't heard of anything like that capital of ecowas.. so what I said was I don't know, maybe I should have said there way nothing like that to make them sure I know there's nothing like that.. anyways that was after I came out I was thinking about that.. there's nothing like capital of ecowas!!
2. This is where I want you to tell me what you think here.. the interviewer went forward and ask if I have a msc which I answers No, before saying what's on my mind, he went ahead talking and said.. (When you start working, make sure you get your masters done' cos you will need it) he said it like yunno someone assuring you of something, in same moment he realized his statement wasn't professional and said ( I mean If you are lucky to get the job you should do your masters) and went ahead with further questions..

Am not saying that is making me get the job but just saying there might be some factors they see on there computer that judges a applicant and that might prompt the kind of questions they ask you...

Feel free to say what you think.. no offense

and God is watching......

Please
When, where and how are we going to collect our APL.
After this long long writeup are they interpolating for the date?

Abuja is capital of Ecowas.. relating to my post above

I was asked the most difficult question during the interview. Pls who knows the instrument for measuring earth's properties... I am a geologist. That question threw me off balance..

The question isn't specific. Depends on the earth property you are trying to measure.

Bros, you should direct this question to the HR dept. DPR, and not here. Unless you have a date, a location, and a means on your mind, which you are free to share with us. And of course, with a sound logical reason.

i guess u should av listed some earths properties and their instruments. like altitude etc.
my thoughts though

My guy I sharply gave them the earth properties I know like gravity, electromagnetism, seismic, electrical. As I was about going further, they quickly asked me the second question

if I hear. Una no go kill us for here Sha. Hmm very interesting topic.

Where I fumble was after giving them the correct answer about types of seismic, I could not remember the major types of seismic survey. That was the only sub question I failed. I nearly cried. I got every other question correctly

But in all na God's grace sure pass

I think the surest bet in your case is to mention some of the instruments and the properties they measure. Or if there is a general term those instruments are called, you just mention it.

Bros name one. I was thinking about instruments for measuring properties like temperature, mass, weight etc... But on a second thought, are these properties really earth properties?

Those instruments are not common, they are used for serious geophysical explorations and couldn't remember them

at the end of d day, performance of candidates from ur state matters a lot!
i am sure d best 3(they must be in different field) from each state will make d list. thats what they call merit!

When I entered there were 3 people in the panel.They asked me to sit down and be calm. The first question they asked me was my name and to give them brief history about myslef to which I did.The first man on the panel asked me about global warming that I should explain it to a layman to which I did.The second;a woman asked me based on my experience in the oil and gas industry I should explain the meaning of IOC to her which means International Oil Companies. She then asked me to mention 3 operating in Nigeria to which I did.They asked the 3 person to asked me any question to which he said he don't have any.They asked whether I have masters to which I replied is in view and I even have a local ptdf scholarship covering that.They now asked me that why am I leaving my Job for Ptdf to which I replied because I want to try a new challenge and contribute my quota to the nation's oil and gas industry.Another one told me in DPR they have a lot of bosses do I mind?I told him no because me too I believe I will rise in the Job and one day I will reach the top.They now asked to asked them any question to which I said I don't have any.They wish me luck and I told them bye and left.

I must state that I'm not a Geologist.

But you mentioned seismic, which from google I found out that it is measured with seismographs and magnetometer.
