plus there's one particularly annoying question just skip it, you will know it when you see it.

Nimora:
Fair enough, everyone shares to their comfort level. And just to clarify, no one pressured him or anyone to share… people were only asking generally. It was not until he was like repeatedly saying the questions were everywhere that others started to ask for it. Thanks for the tip though. The advice you gave is helpful


Plus I wish everyone the best. Signing out! ☺️

Truth be told, after most serious exams nobody really walks out feeling like Einstein. Sometimes the people shouting “I finished!” are the ones that missed instructions 😅. Once you’ve written it, your job is done. Overthinking won’t add marks. Just keep moving and let the results do the talking.

airsaylongcome:
At what exactly? You’ve done your best. Cream always rises to the top. In the 2013-2017 recruitment, most of the GTs said “Na God” when asked how they “did it”. I’ve always said this, after each of the phases when I wrote the exams, in my head I had failed. Woefully in some instances. How I passed WAEC and AC is still a mystery to me. As far as I was concerned I had failed that AC in freestyle flying colours.

You’ve written your exam. The advice often is move on (easier said than done). But that’s the only advice at this point. Nothing you can do anymore. Eye wey dey cry still dey see. Clean eye (figuratively) and keep moving. In my language there’s a saying you run small, you rest small, but keep moving

There are even uglier numbers than the 1155 in this assessment my boss.
To numbers like 11 though, the 1155 is just overly beautiful 🤩

airsaylongcome:
Because that 1155 is an “ugly” number. I don’t think they use such ugly numbers



Whether I stay or I “go”, anyhow e be, ogoro go still jump. Somehow somehow una go dey get update here

It feels that way sometimes. At the same time though, my guy fit dey lie and the next thing, we got see am for AC. Let's hope it goes well. I look forward to meeting y'all at the AC.

Corporatehitman:
Your story resonates with mine.

From people that wrote, non
-engineerng graduates in this sense, most of the inductive reasoning questions were fairly simple compared to all the things being studied and to be fair, the Numerical wasn't so bad either.

Bobokan:
I was watching the video and when I got to the inductive reasoning part, I was like blood of Jesus!

Na wetin person wan do be this. Mogbe o

As for the answer to this question, I don't exactly know but there is a little hint as to how it was done in 2021 for EHs. I'll send a screenshot as I read it on the previous threads.
If you notice, a lot of the dates coincide, but the only difference is that in February, there was the AC and not a 2nd test. That's the best I could get on this

JosDC44:
Thanks Bro, how long should we expect the final results after on Tuesday?

Honestly, both your view and Airsay's are valid. The process is competitive, so people naturally protect their edge.
At the same time, knowing the format doesn’t magically increase reasoning ability, performance still shows.
At the end of the day, everyone should do what gives them peace of mind and focus on their own preparation.

Nimora:
I understand your point, but I still believe everyone’s performance is personal. Sharing general insight doesn’t reduce anyone’s chances. Who is prepared will still stand out... trust they will. I don’t see preparation as giving competitors an advantage. At the end of the day, performance is individual. True, SHL is norm-referenced, so scores are compared. But knowing the format doesn’t change someone’s ability. Performance still determines ranking. What determines ranking is still speed, accuracy, and reasoning ability. PERIODT!

Go back to the 2013 & 2022 GT thread to get your answer. A lot of people have asked him this question.
I promise, you wouldn't regret going through those threads.

Jobbernath:
Airsay why did U stop working at NLNG? Read it from someone's post here. Were u not recruited as a permanent staff after the trainee program? or you resign willingly despite the fat salary and packagies ?

Anonby1:

Is it not better to attempt answering even if it's wrong than skipping?

My guess is he probably got something better or travelled abroad, or both

I’d rather not share even that format. That adrenaline/tension you have because you don’t know the format is advantageous to me. You can loose two, maybe 5 seconds just verifying the format. Those 5 seconds mean lost time for one question, maybe two if you are very good. I am NOT giving my competition a head start to be two questions “ahead” of me before they even start their exam. Go inside and see the format yourself.

Many people here don’t understand that the success rate for this recruitment is less than 1%. And the returns on success at this is life changing.

People always view it from a myopic lens of you have to be a good or be the better person all the time which is nuts, a lot of times the real world doesn't work like that lol. You'd be shocked how the same person will take a similar stance towards people that are yet to take the test

You have to, i do not think it will let you skip to the next question. Just fumble it and go

Damn! I've really lost touch.

UcBren:
Go back to the 2013 & 2022 GT thread...

Honestly I'm surprised that this is even an advice. Those two document the process and the pains in details. The 2013 own was a thriller of you ask me. We had moments of huge bursts of activities and chatter then long moments of silence. Social media as we know it today wasn't a thing then so most candidates held on to that thread for updates. And people really poured updates there. The specifics of the exam has evolved from the paper-based format then but the high level process seems to be the same.

I get the "be a good person" perspective o....but naaaah me I don't buy that. This is a dog-eat-dog competition with upside that will change your life completely. Succeed through the entire process and you will suddenly realise that you actually have an account officer/manager at your bank. You will suddenly get to know that Murtala Mohammed Airport in Lagos and Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja have "kọrọ" that you don't know about. That you can be escorted by heavily armed Naval gunboats while thinking you are on a cosy bus or train.

Naaaah. This recruitment is "war". And I am NOT giving my competition any edge. I don't hate the competition o, but I will put my interest first. I also completely get the side of those who just want high level knowledge of the exam. Not necessarily looking for the exact questions or expo. And I'm not criticising or putting them down. By all means look for whatever will give you an edge, but they shouldn't criticise anyone who has written and refuses to "share". When they write the exam, they will understand.

Someone here said after the exam, they opened their laptop and decided to take their current job seriously and I legit bursted out laughing reading it. I could relate because I did the exact same thing. Getting a success email in the process can leave you jaded, thinking "I gat this". You no gat anything o! Do your best on the exams but hold your current job well. They say a bird in hand is better than two in the bush. I don't agree with that, a bird in hand is the only bird

My brother, truly a bird in hand na the only bird oh 😂 😂

I must say that NLNG might decide to do a 3rd assessment to finally screen out a particular number before the AC (Assessment Center).

I wanted to ask, what's the number range of people taken for the AC? (Not for the entire process this time)

Very true!!
‎I think I like your response more.
‎The chills I felt while trying to navigate my way around a few questions, I would definitely want every other person feeling same cos then, I'm at an edge. I heard some people saying that they could do just 6 questions in the Numerical Reasoning Assessment within the stipulated time and others kept ranting that the time was too little.
‎
‎To be honest, the time was enough if you knew what you were doing and knew shortcuts around the minor things.
‎As for me, I can't say I did well because there was still Job-focused assessment and the Process Monitoring session.
‎I would say the Job-focused assessment would be where a lot of candidates would be screened out because all the options seemed to be good, but not all would fit the work culture of the organization, or perhaps there would be an order of preference to it.
‎
‎Right now, I'm just waiting till March/April which is most likely when invites would be shared for the AC.

You completed your numerical reasoning?

The numerical reasoning section hurts the most because:

The questions are so simple and doable.

If you rush too much, you may have to restart a question.

If you fail it, you know you’ve failed it.

I mean, one can easily perform below average there.

The other sections are mostly vibes and Insha’Allah, lol.

There were 20 people each AC day. 3 centres (ABJ, LAG, PHC) 2-weeks (10 business days). Do the math, plus or minus say 100.

The pruning down from the SHL stage is a lot

To make it to the Assessment Centre, one must be in the top 200 (+/-) in either the engineering or non-engineering sector. Damn.

The bolded and your eye to spot how 11 plays with that 1155 number tells me you have formidable experience dealing with these kinds of exam. I had always mentioned it that, especially for numerical, there are "techniques" to the exam. Those "shortcuts" are probably the only way to complete those questions in the alloted time. If you go the long route calculating intermediate steps, forget it, you have lots the battle and the war. I don't know how it is for you guys now, but we started with Numerical (and had a calcutor by the way). Under performing in that Numerical will mess up your mind for the remaining tests. You will be reading Verbal questions and mentally flogging yourself for one question in Numerical that you just figured out how to solve.

I always tell anyone doing these kinds of Numerical Aptitude tests: Learn the shortcuts. If you see 6.25%, your mind should already be "seeing" one-quarter of 25%

Only 20 per day spread across all 3 centres??
Well, I'll be damned!!
This SHL needs to be taken very seriously then. I had thoughts of major pruning occuring at the AC stage.
Well, may the best men (and women as you once pointed out) win.

Well, thank you!
As funny as it sounds, I have only ever written one assessment test apart from this. I just trained myself as much as I could.
To think that the Numerical Reasoning comes before the Process Monitoring, any small "loose-guarding", one would literally be lost in thoughts or lose concentration while trying to monitor those 5-7 different processes at a time.
We hope for the best.

Yeah, I did to be frank.
I only know that there was a particular question I couldn't calm down to figure a way out of because I was sure it would take time, so I just "free-styled" it.
Apart from that, every other thing seemed more or less easier than the given practice questions.

You're giving the "low-key genius" kinda vibe and I'll be monitoring henceforth.
Do tell me when you get your AC invite man.

That mentally flogging yourself part... I can definitely relate. I go dey do verbal dey think say "omo I no solve that number 9 for numerical well o". The struggle😓

Omo! Be like say me sef go focus on my current job o. Which kind assessment be this? Ha!

That is so true "a bird in hand is the only bird". i did something similar after writing mine, i just called my friend in hustle and was like to afa any deal at hand coz omo . but what is that "KORO" sir if i may ask, truly its war atp na to just position yourself better for better things in case you miss out on this so it doesn't linger as a regret that is my mindset for now

After fumbling the numerical section, it feels like you have failed your family, your unborn children and you can only wish the ground opens up to swallow you. Lol
