i think the cut-off will be according to states. from my observation abia, akwaibom, bayelsa, crossriver and some deltans wrote yday. It will continue in that order till saturday, so if you are from a different state from your friend, no cause for alarm it will only raise the cut off for their state. and i supposed every state have their slots and the cut off will be made based on the state performance. This is my opinion though

I also think it will depend on the field you applied . There is no how they wud train only engineers and lawyers simply because they scored very high n some fields scored very low. I think they wud also take the average of every field to shortlist for that field even if it means lowering d cutoff. They can't leave any field vacant. Thanks

Abodyny that scored or that knows any one that scored 23/50 under computer science. I think that's the highest I've seen so far.
The computer science questions were killing.i guessed all from 1 to 50.That person that scored 23 must be from today a d probably saw the questions or got the gist

The way and manner things are done in this our country it's so pathetic. How can an exam for post graduate students be this poorly conducted? The consultants did a very poor job.
1. The questions are poorly constructed. Many repeated.
2. Questions are selected from specific area. Narrowed to one part of a field. E.g for agric, if you read soil, mineral contents of soil and all this amonification, nitrification, soil profile, symbiosis, you will score nothing less than 40. I don't know how lazy the examiners are that they can't draw up questions from different subjects in the various fields
3. Unlike standard exams like GRE or GMAT, the question base for each field is too small may be only 50. This means every one in Engineering will do same test on different days giving undue advantage to people in later dayz. The number of questions should be nothing less than 500 to be randomly pick by the system.
4. Most of the invigilators are students of RSUST and the can be easily influence to inflate score for as low as 2k. This happened right beside me. I hope the organisers will pick the scores directly from the server. Better still the data should be handed over to NDDC.

I just dey para... For my 35

Pathetic is an understatement. I scored 41 in the yeye test but I am disappointed at the administrators of the test and I think it is not a fair process to all. Having sat for various standardised tests and foreign exams, this is the worst organised test ever(in my opinion). I think NDDC consulted these people either because of man-know-man or lack of funds to hire experienced professionals (oh! I understand they're cutting cost). This is suppose to be an ability test that will present well-grounded graduates to proceed for postgraduate study, How can you explain repeating one question 5 times. A rookie programmer would have fixed that bug. As if thats not enough, my question was full of capacitance and inductance as if I studied capacitance engineering. I will personally contact Mrs Tari on this matter, its not by force to write exam, afterall postume was cancelled. C'mon, this can be better!

The medical was so bad,people were scoring 5,7,13 etc...the highest i saw was 24.The questions were hardcore medicine,diagnosis,pathogenisis,pharmacology,etc.You have to be either a Doctor or a Nurse to answer them.So i believe the next stage would be based on your field.Most Engineering guys got 35 and above

let's not jxt complain here , send Godson text and let him know what is happening. how can u spread exam of the same question across several days . most of my school mates that wrote today scored 40 and above after getting to know all the questions that came out yesterday.

So, let me be clear. Are you angry that you scored 41? Call Godson to set a separate exam for you na.

So Godson can then do what? I suggest you sheath your sword young man.... Same thing happened last year and no foul cry was made... If you had same opportunity as your school mates and sharp enough, you will do same... What's your grouse all about?

The test is stereotyped: questions on arithmetic progression, mixing problems, differentiation and integration, etc for maths and electric circuits: resistors, capacitors, inductance, etc for engineering. There were also a couple of questions on power factor.
I hope this helps
