Like I said in my previous post, I think pple who submitted their application b4 d Oct 18 deadline have d opportunity to edit their profile. This is due to d fact that NUC wants those who uploaded their call up letter to change it to Discharge certificate. It is clearly stated on their website that those who initially uploaded Call up letter should change it to Discharge certificate. |

Re: Pressid Scholarship Aptitude Test Scores - First Class Graduates by chygoz3(m): 9:27am On Nov 09, 2014 |
Expect verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning and current affairs. The list of schools has been updated to 28. The scholarship will begin fall 2015 but will probably extend to fall 2016. |

Re: Pressid Scholarship Aptitude Test Scores - First Class Graduates by planetshaker: 8:24pm On Nov 11, 2014 |
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! 3 Likes |

planetshaker:Thanks for d info bruv we appreciate, hope the coming back to Nigeria to teach wasn't emphasised |
Re: Pressid Scholarship Aptitude Test Scores - First Class Graduates by chygoz3(m): 10:12pm On Nov 11, 2014 |
MacMaster01:No it wasn't. However you do have to come back and work in Nigeria for at least 5 years. You can get a job on your own if you can. |
Re: Pressid Scholarship Aptitude Test Scores - First Class Graduates by Nobody: 12:35pm On Nov 12, 2014 |

Re: Pressid Scholarship Aptitude Test Scores - First Class Graduates by favoured01: 5:19pm On Nov 12, 2014 |
planetshaker: Planetshaker, you've been of great help. Is it compulsory to go to the school or study the course we wrote while filling the form? Plus where did u take ur GRE n TOEFL tests? It's so expensive in the state I'm in; 139k n 92k respectively. Pls anyone with this info should Share...in the mean time, time to study. Gods favour to us all. |
Re: Pressid Scholarship Aptitude Test Scores - First Class Graduates by favoured01: 5:22pm On Nov 12, 2014 |
Is anyone applying to US schools and applying for computer science? |
Re: Pressid Scholarship Aptitude Test Scores - First Class Graduates by CCsurplus007(m): 5:28pm On Nov 12, 2014 |
favoured01: 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 |
Re: Pressid Scholarship Aptitude Test Scores - First Class Graduates by MacMaster01(m): 11:40pm On Nov 12, 2014 |
CCsurplus007: chill, u mean GRE can be written in PH wow. |

Re: Pressid Scholarship Aptitude Test Scores - First Class Graduates by save4live: 6:04pm On Nov 13, 2014 |
Hey Planetshaker! I discussed with a friend who advised me to prepare for the test by practicing questions in the GMAT. What will be your opinion on this. Also, I will like to know how the 100 questions was arranged; was it, for instance, categorized in this manner 40 quant, 40 verbal and 20 current affairs or just mixed? |
Re: Pressid Scholarship Aptitude Test Scores - First Class Graduates by favoured01: 6:58pm On Nov 13, 2014 |
CCsurplus007: Imagine, just 30k. I'm resident in Benin. Thanks for ur info u just saved me a whole lot. Can GRE be written in ph? Plus how did u study? Online or u have books? |
Re: Pressid Scholarship Aptitude Test Scores - First Class Graduates by CCsurplus007(m): 7:24pm On Nov 13, 2014 |
favoured01: I have books. I would be glad to forward them to you. With those you should do fine in the exams. As per Ph I would check again but I am 100 % sure of lagos and Abuja. Recently firstlogic( well known gre testing center) opened a new center in Ph. I would get back to you |
Re: Pressid Scholarship Aptitude Test Scores - First Class Graduates by CCsurplus007(m): 7:31pm On Nov 13, 2014 |
