OK guys for those yet to do their accessment this post is for you
-->Make sure to get to d venue @least 30mins before the accessment starts cos we signed attendance register and ofcos punctuality is important in banking
-->Also try as much as you can to dress appropriately i.e corporately,cos our picture was taken (dunno why)
-->we discussed a topic about revitalizing the energy sector, here, even if you don't know anything about the topic, try and grab points while discussing with ur group members.
-->Competency based test was the toughest for me cos I wasn't prepped for the Q's @ all. Points to note, know your strength and weaknesses as a job seeker, rehearse how to introduce ursef to an interviewer and VERY IMPORTANTLY KNOW ALL ABOUT FIRST BANK, especially their products, services and achievements in the banking sector.
-->Learn how to work with power point
-->Rehearse your essay skills, the topic is the same with what's discussed in the group
-->logical and numerical reasoning are tacklable, at least if you made it this far, you can handle them.
In conclusion, be bold, be yourself, don't lie during your competence based test,and be time conscious during the tests(numerical and logical)
Wish everyone the very best

God bless you for this.

When i had mine,

We were about 7 per group.

And there were abt 9 groups overall

How was the oral and powerpoint presentation like?

God bless everyone that provided insight on this platform.I had my AC center today and the information provided came in handy. For those yet to attend their AC i think all you need to know is here already. And as Shola said earlier you can read up on the energy sector in Nigeria.
Success to every participant!

Bros, for the PowerPoint, you can play with it as you like, but no go do oversabi and spoil everything. For the numerical you have about 20mins, same goes for the logical.

tanx bro

Called HCP yesterday as per 6 weeks is almost over but they nobody picked up.

A lady later called me last night around 7:30pm and said I should still continue with my chill pill.

I believe it wont turn to overdose.

Hello. So, I did my AC on the 8th.
My topic was HOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT and commercial banks CAN STABILISÉ OUR FOREIGN EXCHANGE. Like other applicants said, learn power point very well, practice oral presentation in front of friends/family. Each of us presented to 2 assessors.
In addition, when discussing with your group, be vocal and let your presence be felt. Again, you topic can be anything. So, you need to read wide and have an active imagination.

The numerical reasoning was pretty hard. I couldn't solve 5/20. So, practice your SHL VERY WELL. FORGET GMAT AT THIS POINT. The logic was okay though.

Competency based interview asked how you solved a problem before it blew up, describe the scope of First bank's services, tell us about yourself etc. Know your stories very well. You must explain to the interviewer with a story.

God bless you all as you write the AC

Google it u will surely come across something. I had my AC on Monday. God bless everyone that gave tips..For those yet to attend their AC I dnt av much to say insights have been given already. The competency based interview is drilling so prepare well wit examples and learn ur power point well. In all I'll say Time is not ur friend in d accessment center. U need to be fast. Success to y'all

Bro. It is most likely going to be like that. Shl questions are usually patterened around graphs and charts and I have observed HCP have followed that pattern. Just prepare yourself for it. Trust your abilities and trust God. Safe
