Please can someone help? I just finished my on-demand interview but the upload took a while and eventually got disconnected. I kept trying but it says I don't have enough space on my phone and I should create 820MB or use a laptop. like 30 mins after I received a mail from Shell saying I have completed STAGE 1 and they sent me a link to my assessment result. Please does this mean the video eventually uploaded? If not do I have to redo the interview? Thank you.

Mayouree:
Hope u all that tagged my comment hav seen the KPMG questions i sent to your mails as requested? Success to all writing on Saturday. A friend who wrote his own recently said the CAT 1 part of the question is compulsory for me to read, so that goes for you all too.

Please Pardon my hasty generalisation!
My instinct failed me this time around!
I'm not saying females can't express themselves enough to be on this forum,
that will be gross gender inequality and online sexual discrimination!

It's just an oversight ooooo.
Next time, I will simply go with the username unless I know the gender!

Hope I've not offended you Miss favoured01 (A.O.D)

BTW i where did you finish from?

MoyoGENERAL:


hahaha.

Don't forget Mr McMaster that there Is a VOICE in our written words!
Though it might be SILENT, But they Carry a tangible microcosm of our TrUE self!

You know a writer PENs with the ZEAL that he speaks to persuade his audience and drive
home his point!

Chief, I won't say Mr Favoured01 Heard my VoiCE, But HE SAW the VoICE in the WorD's!
He must be a BOSS!!!!!!

CCsurplus007:
I just comfirmed from their site www.ets.org you can write in ph. All the best

Hi favour. which state are you resident in? I find the figures you listed amusing. Dont let anyone cheat you. You can register for the GRE and TOEFL yourself. I personally used my GTB master card to register. You would have the liberty to choose which state( lagos, abuja, Ph etc ) you would want to write but that would be dependent on the availability of spaces. It is about 185 dollars roughly about
30k each

Hi everyone,
I want to congratulate you guys for making it to the shortlist for test. With the number of applicants, I think you have already began to celebrate victories, as small as they may be.
Let me go straight to the point. Its quite unfortunate how much information was lost after the nairaland data loss that happened many months ago. There was so much information here that could have helped you guys out with what to expect. There is no way such value can be replaced to this thread unless we you guys make an effort to build it for those coming behind. There is no need crying over spilt milk so I suggest we all get to work immediately.
I must confess that I am extremely busy and I had to make a precise decision to give back to a thread that had a part to play in where I am today. I hope this serves as a catalyst to the arduous reconstruction of the value this thread once had. I’ll download as much as I remember, and I hope other recipients of this scholarship will find time to chip in something. All the information I give below is based on how things were last year and the year before. I will not be held accountable for any changes in what you encounter. The pressid have all the right to do so, if they wish
The test is a computer based test, scored over 100, 60 mins. You get your results immediately the time runs out, so you leave the hall knowing how well you did. It consists of verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, some current affairs (more of African current affairs) but with some international, some crazy word puzzles that are just designed as time wasters.
You do not require any course based knowledge to perform well. It is purely aptitude. You either know the answer or you don’t. If you waste more than 20 seconds understanding a question, leave it. No need to form superman. It was my observation that the simplest questions (5 second response time) kind of questions, were at the tail end…like number 90 to 100. You will only get there if you leave out stuff that waste time. You can always go back if you finish before time.
Now, it’s a bit kind of hazy now, but lemme talk more specifically about the questions.
The verbal were just basic English…complete the sentence kind of questions. I remember seeing some questions that required some knowledge of vocabulary (not GRE level…don’t fret). Also…some stupid word puzzles (perfect time wasters).
The quantitative reasoning were all these figures with numbers where you are required to observe a pattern and say what shud be in an empty box (that kind thing).
Current affairs were mostly African current affairs if I rem well. I particularly remember being asked the capital of Tanzania. (don’t go cramming countries and capitals because I said so oo..abeg). Just know your stuff. If you don’t know, leave it and move on. There will be many you know. No super man things.
Finally, start applying to your choice schools now. Take GRE and TOEFL now if you want America. Apply now. I cant stress that enough. That’s all I remember for now.
I hope some awardees will see this and be motivated to cheap in. Trust me, we are all crazily busy so I won’t blame anyone if they’ve forgotten nairaland exists. I’ve got to go now. I know there are definitely typo and grammar errors cos I din’t proof read so don’t crucify me. I wish you guys all the best….pls smash!
