All of us are learners (L) wen it comes to English... as from today abeg never ever brag say u sabi english pass sombori... ptdf don teach all of us lesson...

Speak for yourself. These are not abstruse or occult words.

DeniseKendricks:
My brother leave this people, they don't understand..... all I know is whether or not it leaked, pins were generated for non-candidates, or there were technical issue.....my name will sha come out in the list for OSS...Jehovah has the final say, and he has said My case is different!!!!

So is mine, Congrats bro!

salahudeentope:
Seriously people are only interested in criticizing, did you guys read what he said here?
The agreement they had with ptdf was on the technical side not on supervision, ptdf and the dss handled that.

I'm not saying flexisaf was 100% on the technical side, for I had to wait before my pin was generated too, but seriously most of the accusations here aren't meant for them.

Let's just keep praying, it's done already.

There is nothing wrong with criticism as long as its not malicious. Flexisaf goofed and every sane individual should see that. In fact, they owe the affected test takers an apology! When did you see people complain about Dragnet or Worforce like this?

Forget about invigilation and imprudent test takers who leaked questions, what do you say about having 10 out 50 questions not displaying and nothing was done to correct that, and diagrams not displaying or your course being swapped with another's?

So, on the technical side on which you claim they agreed with PTDF, they simply didn't cut the mustard. What's your next excuse?

NairaSand:
You guys should stop crying over spilled milk.

Truth is flexisafsupport didn't conduct a fantastic exam but no they didn't rob you guys. For all I care you guys robbed yourself.

From what we've been made to understand,
1. flexisafsupport didn't put together the questions. So if you feel the questions for your course was lopsided ya'll need to take out that frustration somewhere else because they had one job which was to publish the questions on their CBT Platform.

2. Some of you all were dumb enough to save questions for your friends, some even came on Nairaland to post questions. Well you can't blame flexisafsupport for that either. It's basically your fault, although I admit they could have one way or the other curbed the nonsense, but then that was is the only thing they could have done, Curb as they couldn't have possibly completely eliminated it.

3. It wasn't flexisafsupport call to give out different questions to people that wrote at 11am. Refer to one.

The test wasn't the best in form of organization and all, but it wasn't the worst. Spare flexisafsupport some slack and take out your frustration elsewhere.

Good day.

NairaSand,

Assumption is the lowest level of knowledge.

Your point 1 shows that you are not abreast with facts. It seems you are just an outsider or part of an interest group trying to discredit the genuine plights of the people here. But I won't bother to educate you on the vicissitudes in the test - you can check the previous pages if you wish, many people have talked about that.

Lastly, for a scholarship test that should entirely be based on merit, it is nonsense for you to say that people shouldn't vent their frustrations on the body that is responsible for administering the test, when they saw obvious irregularities in the administration of the test. No, we should stop celebrating mediocrity in this nation.

flexisafsupport:
Hello And Good Evening To everyone,
We thank everyone that has made the PTDF exam a success. However, we would like to acknowledge that the success of the exam was more than 90%. Even as such, we had one or two issues here and there.

For everyone who has any complaints, we would try our possible best to fix any complaints as much as we can. We appreciate everyone for their continued patience.

Thanks very much

What metric did you use to arrive at over 90% success of the exam?

Hope it's not the case of diagrams not showing and some questions not loading, renewable energy candidates seeing biofuels process engineering questions, energy systems candidates seeing GT option, etc....?

Anfieldboss:
I'm still wondering why these Dragnet people didn't shortlist me

Hey man, did they send you regret mail?

Anfieldboss:
What it means is that some successful OSS candidates might be asked to study in schools PTDF have strategic affiliations with like USP Brazil or some might even be asked to do their Masters in upgraded universities here in Nigeria. And by ticking that box, it means one has consented to be converted from OSS to LSS should need be. PTDF is trying seriously to cut costs.
Seems very few candidates will be sponsored abroad this year. Let's wait and see sha.

Well said, or rather, typed. But my case is different, PTDF will still sponsor me to my school of choice abroad.

Charlesadetom:
I see no essence of complaining
Guys have forgotten Instruction 5 before login that was bolden written. Which I believe everyone who wrote the Test accepted.

What are you saying? smh

stanisbaratheon:
Wrote my exams on Naval and ocean Engineering. If you ask me I would say the test should be taken again because from my questions, just 1 image showed the remaining twenty or so there was no image whatsoever.

Wow! There is no justice then. Surely many of the test takers were disadvantaged! What if they make the English carry the bulk of the score since there were few errors with that and most of us were on the same page on that except those who cheated?

Olabamijie:
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

This is disheartening! How can we now prove that hardwork pays? It's tough!

But,

Truth forever on the scaffold,
Wrong forever on the throne,—
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own.

transbut5:
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.....

Your first sentence is rather an antithesis of the last, and shouldn't have been uttered at all. Let us all unite and call a spade a spade. This scholarship should be by merit but from the look of things, many people who merit this scholarship this year may not get it. But my case is different.

Abeg those of us writing Agip this Saturday let's rub minds here https://www.nairaland.com/3870897/2017-2018-agip-oil-gas/6

Mayflowa:
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.

DeniseKendricks:
congratulations

Thank you sir. Congrats too!

Anfieldboss:
Boss did you write for Renewable Energy? I wrote Energy Systems, the questions were all Gas Turbine, my exam was not funny at all.

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.

KeepHopeAlive.

[mycaseisdifferent2017[/quote]So is mine.

wo1F:
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

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.

DSSHQ:
They are. Part of biomass technology.

Truth be told, its nonsense to call that exam renewable energy. It should have just been tagged Biofuels Processing Option. except Flexisaf made a mistake by swapping renewable energy questions for something else.

agapetos077:
i didnt get any invite too can their be any reason?, and they said my application was successful and gave me ID

Maybe it's in batches

Anfieldboss:
Did you also get an email?

Yes

I just got invited for the test

Ayopedro:
Who knows Mushin in Ikorodu (Lagos venue), cos am finding difficult to locate the venue.

Mushin is not in Ikorodu and that venue is really not mushin. The venue is along Ikorodu road. Its not far from Anthony. Coming from Maryland, its after Anthony by the right close to where Deloitte is, you will see JKK written on the building.

flexisafsupport:
Good Morning All,
Due to logistics issues, we might not be able to change venues of the exams for any other candidate. The window for that is closed. Some of us received multiple emails but the last email you received contains the correct information.

We once again wish us all the very best in the PTDF exams.

Sincerely,
FlexiSAF Support Team

Thank you! You've been indeed supportive. Kudos!

Ajiroghene442:
Please am having a challenge, I lost my saved application slip for the ptdf, how do I get a new one to print out for the exam

go to www.ptdf.flexisaf.com enter your pin where is says "print application slip". Chikena

kenitheo:
Firstly I got an invitation to Lagos and on two occasions after that I got an invite to Abuja. Please I am confused. I changed my center to Lagos during the change of exam center.
I am confused, please help.

Mine is the other way round. You can call to complain tho.

Macgyver1:
Did u update your center?

Yes. They've corrected it in another e-mail received. Thanks

Anfieldboss:
My centre is Lagos.

They sent another e-mail correcting the anomaly

Is Abuja the only test venue? I chose Lagos and they gave me Abuja!

Invites are in...Oh ye of little faith, why did you doubt

na2016:
Guys, we all now have to prepare and pray. The test will hold as speculated. Goodluck to everyone.

At last you believe.
