Some guys actually no try sha. I saw some guys copying out the whole grammar part out for their friends writing later in the afternoon. Although some of them did it cos they re nt frm the same state but what if someone else did same for someone frm their own state.
To certain extent the exam was compromised by the singular fact that we all wrote same set of questions (both ppl that wrote early in the morning and those that wrote late afternoon)

very true

Kindly regard the last email you received

@flexisafsupport. I hope you guys would support this time! Now there is a big issue regarding my exam. I chose Chemical reaction engineering, the same course I chose while filling out my application. The major issues are:

1. There were no questions from 36-47, Only options:A,B,C,D were available; That is 10 questions out of 50. Also, question 36-47 has no parameters/values to use to do the required calculations. It happened that way and we were only presented with option A,B,C,D to chose from.. Kindly check to verify why I am very much concerned about the specific field of my exam.

2. Question 48-50 were specifically a diagram on exothermic/endothermic reactions. There, question 48-50, were references to the diagram but the diagram was no where to be found. I noticed/saw a small dot for the diagram but I guess you guys did not upload the diagram.

3. The only question with options like: I, II, III was also missing. I cant remember the question number at the moment.

4. A total of about 15 out of 50 questions were omitted. Please this is not fair to Chemical reaction engineering guys as the course itself is esoteric.

5. Out of no time, I took time out to document and write down these "egregious mistake" without paying much attention to the remaining few ones. I lost some minutes while writing them down that but it is okay if you guys could mitigate the effect on chemical reaction engineering guys......Please and please verify it this claim is genuine or NOT.

I would be glad if you could get back with appropriate corrections/suggestions to this.

Thank You Guys!!!

But for the divulgence of vocabularies, the exam would truly have been fun and fair.
Batch exams presenting same set of questions have always been considered flawed.
Some folks were even bold enough to look up some words using their smart phones (people get mind sha).
PTDF already handicapped the first set of people that took the test, by using a batch approach having exactly same questions.

Sadly the exam as it were, was deeply compromised, mostly the English part. Peeps have no idea just how bad it was.
I saw folks looking up words on Google with their smartphones, people copying those words out for their friends in the next batch to study and I'm thinking wtf? Don't these kids understand what they're here for
Then the grand compromise was the highly appalling & regrettable leak of the questions before hand to some persons. Make no mistakes about it, the exam we wrote today leaked.
I feel sorry for flexisaf. But they showed why multinationals prefare to go with Dragnet. In all my time writing dragnet tests there has never been any incident of alleged exam leak. Also you dare not take your wallet into the hall muchless your phones. Lastly they have a robust question bank that no two candidates answer the same set of questions.
Flexisaf really bungled this. It would have been a fair contest had the process provided a level playing ground for all.
My prayer is that God still finds a way to reward all who genuinely prepared and wrote the exams without seeking undue advantages to get ahead.
God bless us all

For those who were involved in this act (directly or indirectly), may their case not be settled because they will never reap from where they have not sown.


And may God Almight crown our efforts with resounding success for honest candidates who worked their socks off to prepare for this concluded test

Amen!!!! I have been preparing for this test since December 2015, i work 8-5 everyday and read 3-5am every morning, I feel terrible hearing that people who weren't shortlisted or even applied had the chance of writing it, I feel even worse knowing that people who wrote after the 8am batch might have seen or heard some questions, hence an added advantage to them...but nonetheless it is not by our power, neither is it by our might but by the spirit of the lord. Just like the case of Esther he will turn the heart of the king in favor of he's children that really deserve this scholarship, Amen. #mycaseisdifferent2017

If you are right then flexisaf really lacks experience in this business. First, candidates are not usually allowed to take anything away from exam hall but their ID. They should go and learn work from Dragnet and Workforce.

Yes, I did renewable though I almost regretted it cos it was PURELY Biofuels Processing. Who calls only that a Renewable Energy Test? But later I heard energy systems was purely Gas Turbine too. Again, who would call only that purely energy systems? And then someone who wrote Thermal Power (Gas Turbine option) met with Geothermal and some others.

I feel flexisaf/PTDF didn't do their homework well, the truth must be told.

But I feel confident that God will crown my efforts and that of those who truly worked hard and prepared for the test.

Those who wrote by 8am were put at a serious disadvantage as some of them leaked questions to others who wrote later. How and why would you set the same questions in a batched exam?

To me, I think where flexisaf missed it was asking applicants to come for a CBT with WRITING MATERIALS. They should have at the least give all candidates the piece of paper they might need for calculations and then ensure to get it back after the test. Moreso, phones and every other extraneous materials shouldn't have been allowed in to the exams hall.
Doing these would have minimised the leakage. Even though some nut head candidates would still have leaked some questions verbally to their friends writing in the later batch.
Port Harcourt center especially didn't give a level playing ground at all.
I feel sad, like all my efforts and months of studying and preparing for the test was all for naught!

U know Nigerian guys are fond of being aspersious when you try to demonstrate your sagacity and eruditeness by communicating in urbane English. Yesterday they saw the need to be Sentatious in their English communication instead of being derisive of those who don't want to obfuscate their sagacity

Why would ur set leak exam to other set. Ain't they for same competition. However, it is hard to leak the 2nd part of the test and that mostly determines who wins.

In oversea, test are even written online and graduate test takers tend to be fair and dusciplined!

You can't be too sure that the second part determines who wins. Both parts may carry same weight this year.

Sincerely, I believe the test was just for formalities. I wrote at the Abuja center and the lady (Am certain she is HAUSA) that sat by my right was not settled at all, she kept looking over her shoulders everytime and watching out if the attendants were approaching. I had to ask her if she came in with a Calculator but she said no and gave a sardonic smile. I later discovered she was solving the English questions and within 20mins she was almost done (Mehn, I was baffled but I had to face my work since I dont know for sure what was going on). Not too long after, she was speaking Hausa to one Crossed eyed dude sitting few seats from her and they both laughed. I knew something was going on mehn but I dont know how to place it. It was after the exam my Friend (Female, Hausa, Malo) gisted me her own ordeal that the dude sitting next to her (Hausa) finished his English in 15mins and was beckoning her to copy his since he realised she has their identity. Lets look at it, this is the first time we had the most Papazzazi: Camera men everywhere taking as much pictures as they can, at a point I had to cover my face, recording videos and running interviews like we were at the proper award presentation self (Trying to imagine the kinda stunt they will pull at the award presentation). They are trying to depict transparency where as they had done the permutation underground. Look at the English section, they decided to hype the number to 100 and made it ridiculously tougher since they know their candidates had the English section already, who is fooling who. So while we hustle with trying to score the Maximum 50 from our area of specialisation and then add as more scores as we can manage to get from English, this fuckstards (Sorry for that word but this is really annoying) will earn the maximum 100 from English and the add up some marks from their area of specialisation (do the maths).

To be sincere, I am disappointed in this Country and in the message of Change this Government preaches. I hope this gets to the necessary authority because we cannot continue like this as a Country. Nepotism will take us no where but further damage us. Please if you had the same experience as mine, kindly share. I wish I realised early that those Hausa dudes (especially the lady that sat beside me) had the leak (but who could have imagined that), woulda confronted her and used her as a scapegoat. useless fools.

I am no attacking any tribe, I only shared what I experienced at the Abuja center which is really disheartening.

In all, I thank my exam went well grin grin

we all come here to complain as if we are saints, i bet most of you guys complaining would have fall a victim if you wrote with the later batches..... i wrote at Chamscity Abuja and the irregularities was an ad infinitum...... in-fact if flexisaf should punish any among the test takers, it should be the batch A (8.00M), because they started it all.. while i was in the queue, those guys came out with loads of copied words, in-fact they'll even give it to you even if you don't ask for it. the worst of all was that the security agents were all there watching without even making an attempt to curtail the menace.... and to my surprise, some guys are so naive by sharing the questions among those from there states ........... despite how tough the exam was, people still have the time to copy out those words when one can actually utilize that time to meditate well.....
