was afraid to break the sad news before but now ....
maybe someone writing today could please help confirm but I seriously doubt it . Fsb seems to take the state of origin thing very serious !

Joy83:
Urgent please, can I use a good colored passport sized photograph with red background??

no you cant ...these docs are sensitive , just follow d instructions ..u can do a 1 min passport somwer na

excellentobanz:
Go and write.they ll allow you to write but they will tick.it in their form that you re not with it..

I dont think so o o

Dikepatrick:
if you performed very well, if your waec is very good and you did well in the exam.... you'd inevitably be nominated for any country that's available irrespective of your choice of country

and with God for me too

oscaino2:
bro permit me to ask........did anyone with 2012 wassce show up........and was such person allowed to sit for d exam?

Like I said, no one was sent back or atleast I didnt see or hear of it . I did not see anyone with 2012 thoo and the correct requirement as confirmed today is a 2 yr old cert max ,i.e 2013 or 2014 contrary to the 3 yr old cert requirement some news site announced . ...but just try it and PRAY!
others who wrote today should help ans the q , I know you are reading

olugbode:
You are too much bro. Thanks a lot

Abraham from SW Ug day one

columbushenry:
I quite appreciate your post bro. I want to ask is d zone same as your state of origin place? Or where u reside ? Coz I am based in Ogun State and I am from Delta State. You answer will go a long way in determining whether I will show for the event as I did not really receive any mail from them about the interview except for what I am seeing now on nairaland

You attend the interview(exam) strictly as scheduled to your state of origin..so Delta state(south south zone) it is ..check previous posts for the schedule/timetable..goodluck!

olugbode:
thanks for the info. Pls can u brief us abt the Postgraduate arrangement today and the turn up

Pg was same procedure ...dont know what was graded for them though
and I'm not too sure but I think the exams were diff from UG's
at my Centre ...rough figures oo
OSUN UG ; about 35

Lagos UG : about 3only ! !!!!
Lagos and Osun PG : about 12-15 sha
these are rough figures oo
other guys at Ado today should confirm please
Oga Kevoh I sight una

UG DAY ONE (Procedures)
(A candidate's and to-be awardee's view )
I thought this might help someone gain composure, confidence and relax ..lol
Note : the opinions below are mine and mine alone , not fsb s ...so dont take me hookline and sinker, procedures might be different tomorrow

STAGE1;
Fsb officials were on ground for 9 , we were told to arrange our docs in the proper order in two big brown envelopes and address the envelopes with our details .
We then queued and got numbers , which were to be our serial no for the day .
STAGE3;
local government certificate verification . An official from my state was on ground to stamp and date the certificates photocopy and confirm by asking simple questions about village, house no or ask to speak your dialect or no question at all
i do not think this is part of the scoring at all ..just procedure !
STAGE3;
You give your contact details to an official who records and you are given a little piece of paper with your state and serial no previously gotten from d queue .
STAGE4;
Your docs are checked and ticked present or not on a sheet with another official .
you present your originals for sighting including intl passport . You might ghet advice on the choice of country and courses here .. you can change them too.. Your docs are then submitted and sealed (2 envelopes)
NOTE;for Ug candidates with 2014 wassce, your statement of result from school principal is accepted since the certificate isnt ready. I d however advise you go with your print out too if u have .
Intl passport is optional for this stage, it would only be asteriked on yhe sheet with the official but you would be allowed to write in expectation that you'd have gotten it before you are called .
STAGE5;
For UG your WASSCE results are graded(your 5 core subjects) ...I hear it is over 60 .(A=12 B2=10 B3=8 e.t.c). Your most preferred country and course is finally registered here too.

STAGE6; we got to this stage many minutes past 2pm I think !
EXAM!!!(Read next my post "UG DAY ONE QUESTIONS!" )
[/color]Here I sat down for the exam, received instructions and got the answer sheet(ppt computer read objective sheet), then the question paper (submitted with the answer sheet) and we started!....-_-_-_-_voooom!
Abraham reporting for Ado-Ekiti day one
other zones pls share your experiences

pamyp:
Where calculators involved??


And please did anyone write with C in English language?

no calculator at all ..very few sums needed complex calc
your pencil and a plain sheet(not ruled sheet n provided by d board)

ha ...i cant say but wassce results were graded..officials covered their scoresheets while doing this..but m sure people came with Cs(dont know if any of these was in a core subject). i wasnt there to inspect certs
But give it a try!!!Nobody was sent back at Ado-Ekiti today

Dikepatrick:
You shouldn't be worried about these things now...pass the exam well first!

I asked cause that was my last opportunity to changed the countries myself ...people changed today !!
so .........now that I can't ...do u care to advice me ?

Mosthansum:
Pls those that did the interview today @ any zone. How did it go, Plz give us any information that might help us as we await our scheduled date. Any info atall will be of great help. Any written exams or just Oral interview, dressCode etc. Plz drop any info. Godbless you as u do!!!

advice : guys chill
the exam is simple
dress any way you want that is corporate at least ..nobody is checking that ..or I don't think so

its a written exam ..ppt , obj !
pencil alone and work sheet !


40 mins ( might be reduced o ! ) 40 questions !
Maths , Eng , ICT !

they are basic things ..Eng : comp passage (short!), synonyms. antonyms , words that best fit or fill the gap - tenses , lexis , structure !
Maths : ratio, proportion, percent profit , age probs , progression
ICT : bug , virus , design , DBMS ,db !
Its fast and simple ! ....at least for Osun UG (ado ekiti today) !
Goodluck !
and ....d Intl passport is optional !

joshphorlarb:
no need for calc please

OKAY
thanks

GBR1:
Yea, you can forward it as directed.

I'd find out tomorrow sha...
goodluck to other osun/lagos applicants

pamyp:
Can one write the exams with a C in English??

I think fsb strongly advises distinctions in 5 applicant's core subjects, one of which must be english
...but u can give it a try or advise the person to.......former n current beneficiaries should help answer na

GBR1:
it should be out already. Try and get even a statement of result to use for the exam, and make sure you collect the original certificate soon after the exams, at least before you are called.

should we forward it to fsb as soon as we get it ....or just keep till we are called ?

GBR1:
Yea, it's advisable. Truly. But I'm not sure what you stated was your actual shortcoming. I could be wrong too. Eventually, i still didn't submit police clearance or health certificate, even after the interview but i'm in Russia.

...hmmmn
why would u say u got it ...even after not having so many docs ...
What would u say is the greatest factor in d selection ?

chengfu:
Osun here o/

cool
can u drop your number ?

Osun and Lagos people here?

Nwabu007:
Dear All, It is advisable to go to the interview venue with all the documents including Police clearance certificate, health fitness certificate, yellow card and so on. I took the test last year and these were some of my short comings.

Ha ...It seems fsb is being clear this year about the requirements for the exam ...not as demanding as before


WHAT WERE YOUR OTHER SHORTCOMINGS ....PLEASE

praisesconsult:
just. go with d print out dey wuld understand

...Okay ...thank you

IS THERE ANY UG APPLICANT HERE WITH 2014 WASSCE RESULT
IF YES , DO YOU HAVE YOUR CERTIFICATE ??!
Thanks

izriel:
Have you been to the WAEC office to really find out?

izriel:
Health certificate, yellow card, passport, passport data page, WAEC/ NECO. I don't know if any other will be allowed. They set English language, math, verbal and quantitative reasoning, current affairs. What do you mean by federal character?

maybe long-legedness

izriel:

Health certificate, yellow card, passport

niyogeol:
