For those requesting for a timer, I will like to say that time management is a big part of the exam. This is an online exam. You can improvise a timer. No timer will be provided. Believe me, adding a visible timer can astronomically increase the tension while taking the test. Let each candidate provide a timer for themselves.

You have 60 questions to be answered in 35 minutes.

However, I have added a feature such that you can skip questions you do not know simply by clicking on the arrows besides the number list. This will enable concentrate on the ones you know first. After finishing all the ones you know, you can go back to review any question you were unsure of. You can navigate back and forth with arrows. It will also now request that you submit your answers if you reach the end before time elapses.

If your time elapses while answering the questions, it will count only the ones you answered.

Please attempt as many times as you want before 10pm today. This will enable get familiar with the online platform and you can decide which network, browser, phone, location or strategy to use.

Believe me, only the smartest students will emerge as winners.And the questions won't favour any particular discipline. That's all I will say about the real test.

you are actually correct. Speaking from experience in writing CBT tests, skipping questions to answer it later in a timed exam is counter-productive. If you don't know it you guesstimate it and move on period.

That's exactly why I said only the smartest will emerge winners. Smart students strategize. Candidates are free to discuss their strategies. They may also decide to keep it to themselves for obvious reasons. All way na way.

I am the overall coordinator of the test so I am not in a position to advise candidates on strategies. grin grin

@ all candidates, there is no negative marking.

xfire, I must greatly commend you for this outstanding, refreshing initiative, which breaks away from the norm of celebrating mediocrity as usual like we are used to in Nigeria. Good to know there are still few people out there who want to celebrate creativity and thinkers. Would have still participated anyways, money is just an added bonus. God bless you.

Now, how are you going to eliminate the possibility of an unmerited winner emerging to the lowest possible minimum. People can easily cheat via Google search, which you and i will agree, defeats the aim of the competition.

How are you going to eliminate this to the barest minimum base on the nature of questions that are going to be set?

@ all candidates,

The timer is actually the bar in the upper-right corner of the screen.
If you hoover over the bar or click on it, it will show you the remaining time for the test.
