Lol...But why did they allow 2-2 without masters to apply if they were going to take them out

Wasted their time in the entire process

Lmao
This will be my last reply to you, I gave you link to the official GMAT website and you are still here clowning yourself

You don't even know what a GMAT guide is, have you ever heard about Veritas prep and Manhattan Prep ? I bet not

Maybe if you are applying to business schools you will understand better
Nairaland really have people
Imagine seeing a screenshot of MBA.com ( the official website GMAC) and still talking about a book you bought with workbook
Incase you don't know, the official price of the complete set of GMAT guide for 2021 is $39.99. the GMAT test is $250
Please you can deceive ignorant folks, or you were deceived into buying another book that have relevant questions( maybe from different test makers like GRE, GMAT, and maybe SAT) does not make it GMAT book please don't say this to someone outside
Also click on the link to get educated, maybe you have no interest in taking the TEST but if you ever need to attend abroad business schools in future it might come in handy make you no go dey practice for the wrong thing thank you. Should I also add that Veritas and Manhattan prep are the two most popular test preparatory company for the GMAT and some other american standardized tests

Sanprecious:
Lol...stop being a clown brother. So this is the gmat you said you studied You should have told me na so I stop arguing since.

No wonder you can’t relate. You shouldn’t have shown these screenshots so that I will just assume you really studied GMAT.

My advice; go to a local bookshop and tell them to give you the latest GMAT with workbook. It’s #2500 each and 3k in some places. Both shouldn’t be more than 6k (bought mine for 5k).
Who knows, you may need it someday.

And you’re welcome brother.

There’s no such thing as diagrammatical reasoning under GMAT sir, I don’t know the GMAT guide you studied, probably someone tricked
You. We only have the Analytical writing, integrated reasoning, quantitative and verbal reasoning sections in GMAT

The GMAT format is same everywhere, infact I will attach the screenshots and link to the official gmat structure from their site mba.com to disapprove this
In the past 10 years, the GMAT structure has barely changed except for questions
It is still an computer adaptive test

If you’re referring to integrated section of the GMAT, you’re given graphs, charts and tables with information on it and you’re asked questions you can deduce from the data given and it’s nothing like what you’re insinuating
Also not such thing as spatial reasoning section on gmat...the GMAT is designed for people who want to get into business schools and tests your critical thinking ability

Here’s the link, Google is also your friend, thank you. https://www.mba.com/exams/gmat/about-the-gmat-exam/gmat-exam-structure

Sanprecious:
Lol....you shot yourself in the leg by saying the diagrammatical reasoning from first test wasn’t from GMAT. And you studied GMAT thrice? Lol. Im sorry bro, It means you never read GMAT bro. Or, to be fair, you were completely absent minded. Stop lying coz of the urge to respond. I dare anybody to go to GMAT 2019/2020 and open to the diagrammatic reasoning test on it. I think after the spatial reasoning section. If any question was not repeated word-for-word, then I stay here to say I will not only retract my initial position, I will apologise to you.

Secondly, go to assessmentday.co.Uk and learn sjts, difficult examples that should expose you enough. Some people took clues from the first test bro.

And about studying a 100 question per day, wow! So that is difficult for you to do? Like you can’t practise 20 numericals in one hour ? Then how can you pass this exam if they make it physical. This is a competition you understand that?
Get this right, I am not saying people couldn’t have cheated, but it’s very unfair to generalise that because there were people who genuinely put efforts and still scored up to 80%. 80% was like getting 48 questions out of 60.

Your position seems iron-cast that everybody above the 75% cheated, and that’s a big disrespect.

I have nothing to prove to you brother. There’s no sense writing about how smart one is or not here, I just advised you respect people who actually did the hard work.
Mind you, Nairaland probably represents less than 10% of people who took this test, so if your analysis is based on the lamentations of people from this thread, then that will be very naive.

And no, complaining about this does not even make you innocent, you probably cheated and didn’t meet up like I imagine some other people who scored lowly did. Unless you’re saying all those who scored less than 75% didn’t cheat.


Also, let’s remove the fact that the system failed in the first test and most people had the opportunity to retake the test severally coz scores weren’t updated, can you honestly say to yourself that the EH questions for the second test were more difficult? The first test, by content, was more difficult for EH. We only did the test severally and that helped a lot of people score high. The second test, being partly a prototype of the first test we took, felt lighter with those 20 verbal questions.
And to be honest, your crying about time shows you’re very new to this thing. That’s the main mark of the competition bro. In fact Equinor gives you 1 hour for over 70 questions and tells you plainly that you will be graded according to how fast and accurate you were. I don’t know of many test providers who still gives you 1 minute for one question.
They haven’t even invited for interview yet and wailings of foul play are already thunderous. I imagine this is your first experience. Work on those emotions......sometimes you attract what you celebrate.

P.S: whatever I’m saying has nothing to do with GT, I have no knowledge of their test, except for the clues posted here.

Thank You

Nigeria is an interesting place. Cheaters justifying their grades, innocents crying for justice and the sellouts are quiet
I have read through this thread and My conussion,

*The NCDMB guys already have the list of employees to fill in those positions
* To make it look like a level playing filed they ran this recruitment scam
* Since they already have their men and women waiting to fill in these positions they do not give a damn about the integrity of the exams so they permit people to do whatever suits them (afterall the test is just to fulfil all righteousness)
* The so called testmi or quomodo group know the truth (its most likely owned or contracted under man know man basis by an oga in that organization so they know that its just for show) that is why they left the test unmanned. What sane and genuine test agency will allow candidates take a test at different times running into days without changing questions? Without checking malpractice? Mr A will say they got 0% testmi will say write again (same questions o ) Mr B will say sorry , I went to fishing port and missed the test and testmi will say write again tomorrow(same questions o) That act alone should make you guys know that they dont care about the integrity of the exam or candidates This mess could have been avoided if Testme had made everyone write the exam at the same time and ended it there or split into batches with different questions for each batch. But nooo, they dont care about the recruitment in all honesty. They just wanted to fulfil all righteousness by making it look like everyone had a chance. they wanted it to look fairr that they over did it. I will not say the first batch guys all did wrong cos we all are Nigerians and we know that even if you do your best to maintain secrecy, some people who have nothing to lose will take advantage of the laxity to make quick bucks ir curry favour of friends and family. Ie if husband and wife applied and are both invited or two best friends or sibblings applied and are both invited to write that test, there will mist likely be cheating cos their goal will be to make sure one of them gets the job. This is the first time in my life I will read about a job test being open for candidates to write same exam for days. What a joke of a test.
To those who did their best and were honest in tge test but were displaced by cheaters I say, sorry. In the eyes of NCDMB it is.. ... May the best cheat win.
For those who wrote those tests and scored high with clean hands, congrats may your efforts pay off well. To those who cheated to the top, good job taking advantage of the opportunity given, it is Gods doing and its marvelous in your sight.
This so called merit list is to cover track. First batch with clean hands, less than very few of you will proceed to the next round and the waI see it, NCDMB seem to be in a hurry to round up. They dont seem to have the energy to invite broadly for interview screening.
Now I see that they did not even do pre screening before inviting people for the test in the first place. Every tom, dick and harry who applied got invited wether they meet requirements or not. Surely this so called exam is a sham, a scam.

Lmao
You people should stop this nonsense trying to look smart on this forum
How many seconds were you using to read the questions that will make you read that fast and still get 80% under 44 minutes for 60 questions in case you don’t realize it, it gives you an average of 44 seconds to read understand and answer each question
Even gmat gives you and average of 2 minutes per quantitative section and 108 seconds per verbal questions

Please and please, when people talk about cheating, if you feel guilty and the need to defend yourself look away thanks because it’s not possible
So you had 44 seconds per question and enough time to snap the questions? Lol

How do you know someone who is lying? GMAT doesn’t have diagrammatical reasoning test
How do I know? Because I took the gmat (studied it for 3 months) lol say the diagrammatic reasoning test na from GMAT
Which GMAT boss?

Sanprecious:
Bro, this is not to join issues with you. But you make me laugh when you say “ you can’t score 80 in a 44 mins exam no matter how brilliant you are”. Please don’t pass assessment on people based on your level. Level of difficulty of any task or screening is relative; tho most times depends on preparations and exposure. I once wrote a screening exam with Royal Navy (UK), and the maths section was 30 questions in 9 minutes without calculators. You bloody do all the numbers with only pen and paper. The Verbal was 50 questions in 15 mins, and the mechanical 20 questions in 10 mins (they ask you practical questions about the machine drawn on the question paper). Don’t take my word for it; ask around about the Royal Navy entrance exam for engineers. If you think you’ve written exams under pressure of time, wait till you write that. I managed to score a 65%. But a young guy who only finished college and wanted to join the navy as a weapons engineer scored 100%. The guy currently holds the record of the best score ever in Royal Navy exam in the UK (so they said on that day). Mind you, many of us had masters already. Meaning we already knew engineering. The organisers couldn’t stop praising him. Face the reality that people can be better than you, and may not have same level of difficulty.

This is not to rule out that some people who got the mail cheated. But what about those who cheated and still scored less than 75%? That it didn’t favour you doesn’t mean every other person cheated and shouldn’t have been called.
Lemme even make an analysis for you based on the second test, at least for EH.

1. Many of the SJTs from the first test were repeated. Even those that weren’t repeated, good candidates who are very ambitious of this role could have studied sjts after the first test. At least to know how it works. I sat for the second test knowing certainly there will be sjts. If you missed that, your bad. If you also used up your time in reading the whole paragraph, then don’t cry about impossibilities here.

2. The verbal part for the EH was a complete joke. 20 questions (out of 60, mind you) on very simple “synonyms”. “ what can replace predominant in the sentence.....”. I was super amazed at the verbal that I had to snap it for laughs. Imagine you got at least those 20 verbal, that would have been 33%. So you that got 25%, what’s up na?

3. If you ever studied for this exam, especially after the first test (which you should have), you would have known there are basically two types of diagrammatic reasoning tests.....the first one we wrote in the first test and the figures thing in the second test. Only these two types online. Google for yourself now. People probably smashed the first test because the whole diagrammatic reasoning questions were from GMAT, 100% of it. So were you expecting them to repeat the exam questions, or you didn’t think there will be another diagrammatic reasoning question in the second test?
For goodness sakes, the first exam was enough clue to show you the pattern of questions to come (at least for the EH). If you didn’t prepare further, but rather waited for another system failure to get a second 80%, I’m not sorry to be honest.

3. The only new thing for the EH in that exam was the numerical. And yo, that was purely GMAT standard numerical. Not to say it was very easy, but numerical aren’t that hard, they just take time.

2020 GMAT has only 200 numerical questions, those should take you only 2 days to finish, 100 a day. You had about 4 days notice to the test. ( I studied 100 in 5 hours myself). If you were conscious enough that you’re competing with the forces of inevitable connections for limited slots, maybe you for consider am. It’s a disrespect for someone to go all this length to prepare and you generalise cheating, Saying “it’s impossible to get 80% in 44 mins” (45 by the way).

Stop talking down on people or generalising things using yourself as a reference. Abilities and preparations are different. You no be reference for everybody ma!

How can someone who scored 35% for example (that’s like answering only 21 out of 60 questions correctly) come here to rant about cheating. Okay, others cheated , was that why you did that badly? Pardon my tone but the whining here really warrants it.

Brother, make this a physical exam, well supervised, the man who scored 35% will still stand no chance. And somebody will still hit above 90%.

Just be praying and stop whining. If dem keep you wey get 28% and person wey get 80% to write this exam you no still pass am. Abi did they supervise you and didn’t supervise me?
Also, assuming you scored up to 70% and you believe for certain that the man who scored 80% cheated, it means you cheated for sure. Or what else could make you to think it’s not possible to get just 6 answers correctly more than you did (48/60-80%; Against your 42/60-70).

Again, this is not to say that people didn’t cheat (the system enabled that ), but whining and generalising it is very very condescending.....and I couldn’t have let that slide. Don’t bloody use yourself to judge me like my success is pegged to yours. Life no end here, move on!

Thank you for speaking the truth
Everyone who shared screenshots that day was part of the problem, when some protested this some other will be yarning rubbish on how this is nigeria

Andirex95:
I said what I said bro. As far as I'm concerned, we caused our problems. Look at the scores that came by 10 dar day, if the questions were not leaked, do you think we'd be here talking about the 75 percent thing? Imagine Someone writing an exams and having 36 then goes ahead to send screenshots of the questions to someone else who wrote later and had 85, then when the shortlisting came out they now Blame the organisers and call themselves victims. Dats so laughable

Ntoooorrrrrrr...Move on with your life, when you people were busy sharing screenshots you did not know
Now some people have used it to get ahead

20,000? Where dem go dey work, abi na una go dey pay them?

Unless it's indirect employment, NCDMB can't have more more that 5000 people as direct employees, it's impossible

Even NNPC gan, their staff strength is within that range

My APL soon

While the jokes and banter on this thread can be good sometimes, it also makes it harder for people who are searching for relevant info to this job in future or now to get them because eventually they have to read through a lot of nonsense searching for something concrete

Nothing yet

Okay, Thanks

sapientia1:
if you were successful in the test, and you were asked to make documentations after the test, you'd be called for Interview. it could take weeks, sometimes even months.

Hello
Please, have they gotten back to you since then?

LeOrlly:
I have done medicals and it been a week now. I did documentation on the day we had the exam. Please how long does it take for them to get back to us. Cuz the month is almost ending cuz one need to know if to resign or what. Or should one just move on or what.

I wrote their Test and it has been one week now and no feedback till now

I thought they communicate this early

You people are still here bickering everyday

Is it only about the Pay for you? In my opinion, if you get a GT position that pays more than 250k in this country, that's decent ( Considering that probably less than 5% of graduates get such range right after school)

That does not mean you shouldn't be hoping for higher, but let's calm our expectations and get the job first, so you don't go and jeopardize your current position hoping to get Billions from NCDMB and end up being disappointed

I took last week
I applied I think ending of last year though I had sent a couple of applications prior that that’s still didn’t go through when I clicked submit in the end

richboy01:
av u taken the aptitude test?
when did u apply?

I go get this job

brill1:
I be like na only be no get reliable source for this thread

Who took Zenith Aptitude test this week. Have you heard back from them?

Comedy session

The quality of the questions was okay, not too tough and not too easy, a good test to know above average applicants

Also timing was the main test, because a lot of people could score 90 easily with enough time...The fault of the exam was giving people the ability to write at anytime and virtually same pool of question

The alternative would have been to fix time for different groups maybe alphabetically and each group gets same pool of questions or everyone might even get same-thing but the numbers and answer choices can be changed for different groups but the exam is done and they know what they plan to do
Goodluck to everyone

I think the Zenith Bank career site registers some of those applications despite the error message because I know I tried severally and same error at the end but somehow got contacted after several months


So if you're reading this, if you create account successfully try and complete the application at a go and submit, you can try a couple more times different days or same and hope you get invited

Goodluck

Seen. Thanks a lot

Oya tell am make him post his scores, story go enter

That guy wey say him score 80 na Albert Einstein

Is not even about how many you can get right, the time is rigged against you, if there was at least 1 minute for each question then it is statistically possible, even passage reading takes time

Time is not enough
60 questions for 45 minutes, even Gmat no do like this
I for start with verbal and quantitative instead of that yeye situational

Looks like there's EQ test in it

Stop this play
