For the part of the game that has to do with numbers. Make sure u have a pen and a book or lots of papers. No matter how long the digits become try not to get it wrong.
Make sure you are not distracted. Keep your eyes fixed on your screen and write all the digits down.
That was what I did. I did not use my phone so I'm not sure how the guys that used theirs were able to ace it. But I think the using a computer for the game is better.

For the part that had to do with sharing money. I didn't share the extra I got equally with my partner. I gave him $0.5 less. When I was asked to rate how fair I was on a scale of 0 to 10, I picked 9. My result showed that I tend to be critical.

The part that had to do with cards, reading facial expressions and arrows, I'm not sure how I did those.

Truth is I wanted to practice before doing the main test but it turned turn I was taking my test without knowing. Just be calm and don't get distracted even when you think you aren't doing well.

There was one that had to do with tapping the space bar key. For each, you have an option to play the easy or hard one and your chance of winning is usually displayed on the screen. This was the trick I used, whenever the chance of winning was less than 50%, I played easy. When it was more than 50% I played hard.

I hope this helps.

All the best

Thanks bro. I really do appreciate

Properties / Re: First Time Landlord : I Shunned A Family House To Build Mine by mikaj(m): 7:36am On Apr 04, 2017
ShoProperties:
Here we share true life stories of first time landlords to inspire others that it is possible and you can start now. Enjoy it but most importantly take action after reading this.
Anybody that lives in Lagos and experiences the accommodation challenges vis-à-vis rent increase and landlords’ palaver will ultimately develop the urge to have his or her own house.
In my own case, even though I was living in my mother’s house at Okota up until the time I got married, I always eyed personal house ownership as one achievement that would give me a sense of fulfillment as a man.
Consequently, as soon as I got a better job as a sales/service engineer in a German company, I reminded myself that I must not allow the fantasy of having a free accommodation becloud my vision of personal house ownership and in order to remain focused, I decided to come out of my comfort zone, by quitting my mother’s house to rent an accommodation somewhere else.
Like a fish out of water, I was exposed to the heat and discomfort of a rented apartment in a jiffy as my landlady kept increasing the house rent at her whim.
However, I was unperturbed because, I knew I needed to be challenged and the more the challenges came, the stronger my passion for a personal house became.
The opportunity came in 1999 when a certain friend of mine told me that there was an available plot somewhere at Ikorodu that was free from the dreaded Omo-Onile wahala.
I went with him to the site and after the inspection I bought the plot at the cost of forty thousand Naira (N40,000). However, after concluding the documentation and securing the land, instead of going ahead to start developing, I relaxed.
At that juncture, in 2002, I committed one blunder that lays credence to the popular Yoruba adage which says that “the first money a child makes is usually spent on akara (beans cake)”.
Or how else could I explain a situation where I abandoned a plot of land I bought at a paltry N40,000 to buy a car at an exorbitant rate of N300,000, instead of using the money to start developing the plot?
So the truth of that adage still caught up with me somehow.
It was not until the value of the car started depreciating that I realized that I could have been better off investing the money in a more solid asset.
So in the year 2002, I started developing the plot only to abandon it later until 2004.
I would say that one distraction I had then was the boom in the stock market. Going by the kind of dividends the stock market was churning out, I felt that investing there was by far, more worthwhile than embarking on a building project – and join the landlords.
Led by this conviction, I threw in virtually everything, believing that when my dividends came tumbling in I would simply buy a house.
But alas, the stock market crisis came suddenly, like a holocaust and I got my fingers burnt!
Thereafter, I decided it was high time I invested in this one solid asset – property, so I moved to site once again.
Fortunately, I have a good job that involves traveling both within and outside the country and from such trips, I make extra money which helped me to expedite work on the project because given Nigerian situation today, one can hardly achieve much through savings from salary.
Another point I would like to make is that it is good to have a good spouse and to that angle I want to say that my wife was quite supportive; financially, spiritually and otherwise.
She was even the main motivator, such that each time I strayed she always drew my attention back to the project. However, the whole credit goes to God who provided the sources of income for me and my wife because without God, one can do absolutely nothing.
So we kept working at the project through the years despite the challenges because challenges will always come and sometimes they could be so serious that you may end up abandoning the project on your hands.
Another challenge we had was the disappointment of workers on site. The idea of not being able to deliver on target time was indeed a problem.
As if that was not enough, the Omo-Oniles whom my friend said were out of the way still came and we had to part with some money to appease them.
By the time the building got to the roofing stage, the roofing sheet I wanted to use was not available because there was crisis at the wharf.
By the time we wanted to complete the roofing the Omo-Oniles resurfaced and we had to give them more money.
However, despite all the challenges, we kept on working on the project until we completed it and moved in this year.
As I am talking to you now, a plot of land that sold for forty thousand Naira and there about as at the time I bought mine in 1999 now goes for between N7, 000,000 and N8, 000,000.
So on that note, I would like to advise anybody who wishes to have his or her own house should not look at a place as undeveloped because development spreads like a wild fire in Lagos.
So as soon as they start work, they should start saving for their own house and when the opportunity comes, they should not be unnecessarily finicky.”
Be inspired!

Hi guys !!!

The interview is not so strict ( depends on how u take it, though).

A panel would interview you, and more like getting to know you and your capabilities. Some technical questions are chipped in intermittently, though.

45minutes Max.

Best of luck.

Bro did you bring your CV along or they already had it? If so, did they use the one you brought along

I feel your pain Mr. Mikaj. And like u said, that's what job hunting has reduced graduates into. But all is well sha, let's put that behind us now.

I'm ready to share my test experience too ( ready when you are)

Based on logistics, I think everyone that wrote the test got an invite for the interview.else, why will the interview be from wed- Friday??!(I stand to be corrected o). Except their is another surprise waiting for us.

Anyways, mine is on Thursday, 2:15pm(mechanical). I promise to share my experience when im done.


BTW, can someone teach me how to quote post! I'm having difficulties doing that.

You click quote and the rest is easy. just type below the persons comment when it loads to a new page.

I doubt if that's how its scheduled. wrote my test on a Wednesday and I'm scheduled for Friday for the interview.

I am not talking about the job being new. I know there is rarely information about the said organisation. I am just pissed off some folks who did theirs on the first day decided to go MiA when others literally begged not for the questions but for what to expect.

I know everyone wants a job but common e never reach that bad. I know how many test I have gone for not because i need the job but because I know someone having the same test on a later date.

Information is key to success. Hoarding it is so disappointing

Easy Bro. I understand your points.

Most guys don't follow up on jobs like some of us do, so I guess that is why the thread is the way it is.
Moreover, most people are hearing the name of the company for the first time (which is even suggested by the title of the thread).

The responsibility now fall on us to educate those that might need it later on.

Don't know anything about the "COVERING OF BOOKS" though. Don't even know what to say ..lol.


Best of luck to us all.


You committed the same offence by not even stating when your own interview is.

Mine is 9am, Wednesday. (Mechanical)

Ma binu jare .

I'm scheduled for Friday. 10:30

We are done with the test phase. I couldn't help but smh when people who are graduates decided to cover their books like primary school children doing classwork. Its really a shame what we have been reduced to. To all the folks who did that shit, I hoped up where successful after everything, if not you bleeped up.

Furthermore to those who did the test and decided to keep silient when others yet to do searched for any form of an guidance in preparing for the test, shame on you. You definitely shitty. Yes you are!

So now its all about the interview stage, I don't know what day its to commence but just incase you have yours any day, do drop feedback here.

At the end of the day its about talk and presentation so its not a sure banker. If you still decided to keep silent after yours when someone drops a comment here asking how it went, I will put you as part of my prayer point.

That said I leave you with what a brother once said; what's yours is yours. its not about how much you jack or what you think you know. If He doesn't Wills it, you are a gunner.

Look forward to having majority of y'all as colleagues.

Will post a comprensive analysis of what the test was like later on for future prospective colleagues.

PS: I totally did not know what I wrote but scaled through the test. Faith Speaks.
