Tnx lot, just wanna ask...how many comprehension were given

The verbal was all comprehension.

agroronnie:
The verbal test is 30 questions in 19 mins, with 4-5 questions per passage. always the true, false or cannot say. the key to passing this is to base your answer not on the assumptions you know about the topic in real life but on only and only the words that are stated in the passage, watch out small conflicting words like when the passage says "the doctors sometimes suffer stress" and the question asked "the doctors always suffer stress ", then in this case, the answer is false. if the question asks about an assertion like "the planets all revolve around the sun" but the passage says a lot of things about planets but doesn't explicitly say anything about revolving around the sun even though you know this is true in real life, the answer is that you cannot say based on the passage. anything true will be the very same reasoning as the passage. since you have 19 mins to answer 30 questions that gives u 1.5 mins to answer one question so you have to be fast. the key is to take up 2 mins to read the passage thoroughly the first time it pops up, understand it, then you can use less than 1 min to answer the subsequent questions related to the passage. always read the question first before reading the passage so you know exactly what you are looking for in the passage, and even when you find it finish the entire passage, so you don't spend any more time reading the same passage for the subsequent related questions.

For the numerical test, you have 18 questions in 25 mins, 1.3 mins per question, this gives you ample time cos no long passage to read. You have to read the question first and look for the important variables required to solve the question. Its all about ratios, addition, percentages, no word problems forget the shl direct test, its all about interpreting tables.... tables..... tables and graphs as well.
the key is to know your short cut arithmetic; like if the sales for country A (currently $20m) increases 20% each year from year 1 what is the projected sales for year 4; instead of multiplying 20% x 20m then adding back to 20m for each of the next 3 years, simply have 20mx1.2x1.2x1.2= Ans. again if you are told that sales of January ($4m) decreased by 2% from December last year, find sales for December or as a ratio to sales from another month; think about it- January sales $4m decreased by 2% from December. lets say in percentage December sales is 100% decreased by 2% = January sales of $4m (98%), rewriting it in algebra; 0.98 of x (x is DEC sales)= $4m, x =4/0.98 to get back the 100% (x which is December sales), So practice practice practice, know how to convert your exchanges, know when to divide to get dollar or multiply to get a larger currency.

Practice, practice, practice!!!!!, hope this epps.

"Please ensure you complete your assessment/s by 02.03.2017"

Let's all try and complete the assessment/s at most by 01.03.2017 to accommodate problem resolution if it occur

Also, avoid using phone, strictly use a computer/laptop.

Please how does the 1.2 come about?

Please how does the 1.2 come about?

Once ur calculating % increase/decrease If the % is increase it +1 Decrease is - 1. That is the 1+(the fraction) or 1-

mYphhiRes:
Please how does the 1.2 come about?

When something is increased by 20%. Its becomes 120% (100+20). Remember it was initially 100%.

Now 120% multiplied by 20 means (120/100) multiplied by 20. Note 120/100 gives the 1.2

To save time, instead of calculating 120/100, simply use 1.2, more practise makes one familiar with this short cuts.

Thus 20% increase=1.2, 30% increase=1.3, 20% decrease=0.8 (100-20=80)

I hope this helps. A better teacher can help out too

mYphhiRes:
Please how does the 1.2 come about?

if you say eg $4 increased by 10% (which is 0.10 in decimal) in year one, calculating the long method you will have $4+ (4x0.1) =$4.4.
Imagine that the original $4 is 100%, it now increased by 10% which is now 110% or 1.1 (in decimal), so just have 4x1.1 =4.4. same applies for a 20% increase, the original 100% +20% increase = 120% or 1.2. if 100% decreases by 20%, its now 80% left, eg 4x0.8=3.2.

You've done well by sending a mail. If after reasonable time, you still don't get a reply, you may have to contact them again.

Guys y'all should check your mail. Seems like the deadline for the test is no longer 2/03/2017 but today.

I just got a mail

See as guys brain de hot. Best of luck to everyone

I didn't get any new mail. I believe PWC are professional enough in their processes.

however, I'll keep my options open

It should better b an error. Y would they do that? Me that wants to go and get replacement battery for my laptop by Tomorrow....and here I am getting a deadline of today? This isn't fair. Sending them a mail right now. They must b joking.

It's a mistake. Someone I know sent a message to them. They replied with the right date - 2nd March, 2017

Lol... they just corrected their mistake..... I been don fear o
