Nice one there. However, I believe every Tom, Dick and Akpors on the streets could perform arithmetic operations in seconds even without following short cuts; it doesn't necessarily mean they'll ace SHL. In my opinion, the rate limiting factor is your ability to interpret the questions quickly which is a function of one's intelligence, state of mind and degree of preparation. A person's arithmetic skills alone might be so useless if he is short of these.

yh thats why i added it to the last part of my post about ability to quickly read and understand, these are things one can work on regardless of intelligence, though you might not be as fast as one with a little higher intelligence.
ish is that people hardly read stuff or try to improve on certain abilities except there is a need for it. ive been playing with memory, speed reading and cognitive stuff since as far as i can remember, just to continue improving my skills
i currently read at about 550wpm (which i hope to improve on ) with good comprehension and retention and its cos i read books on speed reading, mental photography and the likes, have cognitive and arithmetic apps i use like neuronation just to excercise the brain,

as one seeks to improve daily you discover certain things just begin to come naturally and your brain functions faster and better

Yep, this is not one of those times I am going to deceive my self. I am patiently waiting for the regret mail from PwC. The verbal was okay, but the numericals were something else-did a few of them, but guessed for the most parts.

My guy trust in God....Never give up! Go to him in prayers and thank him for the test. Give it to him and go to sleep. Miracles still happens.

Seems to me that you watch that graduate monkey video for SHL numerical as well. One can actually get 100% with those nut cracking step for solving questions quickly stated in that video tutorial. My issue was that i knew about it two days before i took the test and no adequate time to practice as you said. If not for the two issues Ehn, i would have been dancing dance of victory.

Kindly quote me with the link of the graduate monkey video for SHL numerical.

Well look for folk that have newer laptops, windows 7, 8 etc
Or find a way to install the flash player

Just keep searching..
If you can't get by Thursday and push turns to shove, then mention me..

Only mention me if all hope seems lost and deadline is treacherously near...

Goodluck

Good day bro, I couldn't get the online assessment done yet. Pls help

Baba (bows down). Why would u guess? An immortal like u? You're Raalsalghul. SHL is no match for u boss. Or has the Lazarus pit dried up?

There are "quicker" ways, same method, but quicker, most of the "approximation" questions can be solved without calculator.. In all doing some fast calculations in your head can remove loss of times by pressing calculator...

Imagine finding the ratio between two sets of numbers sets A and B
A=23654 +4466 +8544 +2364 +9126
B= 12598 + 35419 + 42188 + 5848

Using calculators wud slow you down.. Till u notice the pattern in the numbers.. They are of the forn 23600 + 4400+8500+2300+9100 which wud easily give =23+4+8+2+9=46 plus the little numbers inbetween that add up to 2 approx = 48k

The second=12 +35+42+5 =94 plus the little numbers that add up to 2 approx =96k

Your ratio wud tgen be 48 : 96 which is 1:2

Calculator will make you a little slower in this case considering its an approximation case



Or a case where you are the find the approximate percentage yearly increase when something increases from 6.7 to 8.1 in 6 years..

All you simply need do is total increase is 8.1/6.7 =1.209
Then find the sixth root of that


Why cos when something increase 20% for example per year
Means in the first year the new figure is 1.2 * old figure
1.2 being same as 120% being same as 20% increase
Second year will be thatvalue times 1.2 again... Third year will be that value times 1.2 again... So in 6 years the new value will be 1.2^6 times initial value

So in our case x^6 shud give 1.209
Hence the need for finding the 6th root which wud be 1.032 (calculator)

So percentage increase per year is the ". 032" * 100 = 3.2% you won't be needing a calculator for this part obviously..


Two questions of this sort will take you approximately 1 and a few seconds to solve both.... Giving you more time to spend on more hassling questions


PERSONAL speed matters too and your ability to understand the question quickly and develop your solving algorithm (steps)...

....HAHAHA SO U STILL KNOW THIS SKILLS. PROUDLY UNIBEN......HERE IS MY CLASSMATE!! LOL.......I WILL DO AC with you. GREATEST ENGINEER.........

The lazarus pit has just met it's match. Lol

See friends. am not a proud fellow; i know God will help us. even those who.guessed. me no sure of wat i wrote but am sure of a MERCIFUL GOD

Guy Chrome won't do it.... Try downloading Photon browser and u are good to go... I only used it as a last resort for my numericals cus d cafe I went to do d verbal earlier didn't have d latest flash player again..Its a risk but I took it anyway and no regrets thank God someone called before I started d test cus d network was interrupted and bcus I haven't started then, I was still able to do it if not I would have started sharing stories dat touch... after dat call I switched off my mtn line and left only my glo dat no one knows.

really! Let me try the photon then.

Good day my ogas. Pls i just tried logging in to do my test now but can't log in. A friend here too is having same issues. Pls, is there any solution. Urgently needed. Thanks

Solecontroller:

Download the latest flash player from Adobe. Install and reopen the browser. Change browsers if issue still persists. For the pop ups blocked, head over to your browser settings and check the allow pop ups box.

tnk u so much

oluwatobyloba:
hmnn I thought I was d only one. Being a mass communication graduate, I used the SWOT analysis and knowing my weakness which is the numerical I practised all d techniques in solving them and even did the practise test . However, when I did d verbal it was very good and I blessed d lord but alas! d numerical I studied well for turned out to be something else, d time turned me to a blind lady. well now i just decided that let God's will be done for me.

Same here with me, I studied very well too for the numerical, but...

Asiri1991:
Just done with the assessment now. I am not sure of any question on numerics. Verbals ti take over. May God help me.

Folks are just complaining about the numericals, it's not only you.

That's an impressive one. What books on speed reading, mental photography And the likes would you recommend? I'd be glad to read on these. Thank you yorex

i'd upload my book folder to my dropbox and drop the link when i'm done. will also add any other material i consider important too

don't copy and paste you login details into the SHL site. Write it down on a sheet of paper and manually enter it. had a similar issue, yet to take the test tho.

It's better not to assume anything. Just do the test today, if you can, to be on the safe side. Good luck

May God help us. The problem is not that I didn't give any answer on numerics, but I can not solve those numerical questions even now. Was is a bad decision to graduate in Arts?

Don't ever be dissapointed in yourselves.

If you test a fish with assessment of flying, it would look foolish. Likewise if you did for a bird with the test of swimming, it would fail.

You are unique in your own way.

Don't be too surprised, if you recieve a congrats message. There is a God factor once you done your best and played according to the rules.

ibukun003 gosh....... u r learned ..... I c ur success mail..... just forwarded this to God ......... and pwc

I just finished my assessment nw, waiting patiently for a success mail by God's grace, thanks to u guys for ur support. We will all succeed in Jesus Name Amen

I doubt one can fully be prepared for SHL. Just finished my test now and to hope for the best feels impossible to do
