There were 20 Numerical (Basic mathematics, mensuration, interest, permutations/combinations, probability and statistics); 25 Verbal (verbal reasoning, logical reasoning, synonyms, and antonyms); and 5 Critical reasoning. The questions were 50 with 60mins time allowed. You have to be really fast to attempt them all. Waste no second on any question that seems complex. Just use the elimination principle and then, guess intelligently! I hope this helps.

olowobaba: au did yhu apply

Honestly i didn't know myself o! I just got a text from them inviting me for a test. Initially i thought it was a scam until i confirmed it was genuine. But perhaps, someone (who i am yet to identify) with my CV submitted it to them. Anyway if you have any info, pls be kind enough to share. You may be the next on line for opportunities. God never sleeps!

Got the text too. But i equally have no idea of what to expect.

I received the invitation for interview too. But hope it won't be as difficult as their test?

Business Admin in some universities (e.g. ABU) has specialisation with much more mathematical involvement compared to Accounting. So be conscious of this in case you decide to study Business Admin.

Ronisky: Did nt also click on submit, bt wen my tym elapsed my test was automatically submitted. So urs was also submitted except wer dere is netwk prob as it did happen to me. I did d test twice. D 1st tym, jst wen it ws tym up d system went dwn, de hv to confirm if i hv bn assessed n found out hv nt. So had to strt again. Dis tym did nt also click on submit, bt at d end of 50min d test was automatically submitted. So it depends on wat was displayed on ur screen afta 50mins

What was the display on your screen after the auto submission? Cos i had same experience and my system displayed stuffs like 'internet explorer not ........' Then i closed the page and the screen turned blue.

Na BIG SCAM o! My brother kept wasting his money, efforts and time until they demanded for #50,000 to process his work permit.

Wait o! If someone could not click the SUBMIT button or you've not even completed the test before the time is up, does the system submits for you automatically?

AjanleKoko: You can send me a PM, so I can get your resume.

I just did. Thank you sir.

@Ajanlekoko,
I've followed your posts on various threads and indeed, I so much respect your views and comments on issues sir!
I graduated with a First in Business Admin (Actuarial Science Specialisation). I completed the NYSC scheme in June & have made several online job applications since then without any invitation yet. I'm becoming increasingly apprehensive, particularly considering my age. I'll soon be 28, meaning that i'm already past the age for many entry level jobs, especially in the financial sector, where my interest lies and my skills relevant. I'm willing to start small and gain relevant work experience but opportunities are lacking (or may be I cannot locate them). I have a very humble background and really struggled hard to sponsor myself through school. I'm hardworking, reliable, and of impeccable integrity.
Please sir, i would appreciate any little way you can be of help to me in my job search.
Thank you sir.

Thanks.

Bt these categories of graduates are the ones currently getting the plum positions in most of our parastatals. Come over to Abuja here, many heads of department cannot write a memo in simple and correct English. Worse still, some cannot even write it at all. Yet these are the crops of people implementing our annual budget and taking decisions about this nation. Smh for Nigeria's future!

Abeg ooo! Pls send

9free: Guy, how/where can I download a python IDE and API that runs on windows 7? Tried Python Scripter Version 2.9 and it didn't work.

Check here:

I just started learning programming (Python) and currently using HP Compaq (320GB HD, 4GB RAM, 2.7GHz AMD) running on Windows 7. Would this be okay for me?

@OP,
Is prudent spending all that make one a good manager?

adewaleh: Try to use the password u use during the instalation. Then hit the enter key.

There was no any form of request for password during installation. I was only prompted to supply a password upon launching the program. Pls can someone else comment on this?

Hello house!
I just installed MySQL on my Windows 7 OS. But after finishing the installation and launching the program, a Notepad window displays requesting for password. I have entered several passwords but to no avail. Pls help! I am just a starter. Thanks.

Sekso: This is one of the misleading comments that must have slowed down success rate in may 2012 diet! You are insulting the reputation of the institute as well! Be sure some of your examiners read these posts on nairaland!

ICAN had only made a statement with the May 2012 diet. They just proved people wrong that they can still come up with new questions. I believe many of those who failed were the ones who think they can pass through taking the shortest cut possible. Studying only past questions or covering just 15% of the syllabus? I wonder if such people are in the profession for the knowledge or just the certificate!

The lyrical composition of the oldies is definitely unique and more sensible. I doubt if there would ever be better songs than those of Ebenezer Obey, King Sunny Ade, Ayinla Omowura, Orlando Owoh, et al.

After wasted years of admission-seeking, strikes and crises, job-hunting, and the likes, some might be "overaged" for certain jobs. Is it right to adjust one's age to suit such jobs specifications?

Where is your source of info? Present the stats (e.g. No of unis and poly grads enrolled and those who qualified, say over the last 10 years) and we know where to start from.
