Funny thing is that, whether you have 98%, and 3 or 4 other persons from your State have 99% in the test. You wont still make it to the final successful list. Also considering the Nigerian factor where connection also play some roles in the final list.
The fact that you think you did well in the test isn't any guarantee at all.
And also to those complaining about incomplete questions (of which I was a victim too), all these complains now won't do anything. When we were supposed to speak up and protest peaceful immediately after the test, our beloved Flexisafsupport guy came up here to subtly shush us so that it doesn't backfire on the company that handled the test(my opinion). Telling us that something will be done about it, I just wonder what in this good earth can be done about the apparent failure in the conduct of that exams. Awarding bonus marks to some people and leaving out the rest wont be just fair. Also considering just those that wrote by 8am while neglecting those that wrote by 11am and thereafter won't be still fair for the sincere candidates that prepared and wrote that test without having to have seen any expo (from those that wrote by 8am) before taking the test.

Anyway, all these my blabbing wont solve anything either. But I must say this before I stop typing:
This Scholarships is not just for everybody! Veeery few will make it.

That's just the harsh truth.

I wish us all the very best though.

Dear Flexisaf

For this CBT to be considered fair, I think the hounourable thing to do is to cancel those foreign English words questions totaling about 30. All the major contoversies surrounding this test revolve round those questions. My honest opinion.

Are you sure? Many people had alot of external help.Two guys I know have been so sure they will make the list. They got reliable information that the questions for a particular option was from a website. Apart from having access to the 'foreign' words, some also had access those questions. So you can't cancel any part of the test because you don't know the level of 'help' people received.

I disagree, albeit your honest opinion. The words are advanced vocabularies and there is nothing foreign about them. The major controversy is the alleged leakage of questions and technical issues as per subject tests. But I think its rather late. The list should be finalized by now awaiting publication.

You are absolutely right. I never suggested anything, because my suggestion would have been to cancel the test entirely and conducting another one, giving everyone a fair and level playing ground (which was conspicuously missing in this last test).

But seeing that the test itself was conducted late, I don't see my suggestion as a plausible one.

If the exam wasn't leaked many people believed that those vocabularies made the exam fair for everyone but the leakage proved otherwise.

In all of these, ptdf /flexisafsupport made a fatal error by setting THE SAME questions in a batched exam. I mean, where is it done?? Anyways it's too late for that now. I wish myself goodluck.

As far as the verbal questions leaking - I seriously doubt it considering this is the first ever time any PTDF exams was of this arrangement.

The more technical aspect did not even leak per se. Yes, they got some questions for some disciplines from a particular website but this is not a new development. Dangote, Halliburton and DPR got some questions from that same website.

The only real snag if there is any, is if PTDF would be fair in the process and make the raw scores count more without the needless permuations they claim to make placing scores hand-in-hand with LGAs.

Also, we beseech them not to give all the OSS slots to cronies of the members of the National Assembly or staff of the DPR (and other Ministry of Petroleum Resources affiliates) whilst relegating people who merited it to the LSS positions.

I have confidence in PTDF grin

God bless us.

This right here is why I wholeheartedly hate this disgusting country.

A CBT Test was written over 3 weekends ago and there's no result in sight.

The "they usually release the MSC and PHD list together" line is totally retardedd too.

A lot of folks have their heart set on this thing. Resumption is like some days away for some school yet.

Dear PTDF,

If you're going to do scholarship, please do. Don't come and be unfortunate. Conduct future tests and interviews in good time so that we the not so lucky ones can find our level.....not leaving us stranded at the last minute.

Are you now comparing Nddc experience to ptdf ? The two are parallel organizations. They can't meet by measuring them. The problem with ptdf was because of the late passage of budget, and more so, federal character must be considered.

Same thing I tell myself.

Why will I get a scholarship, any at all, and then go to an "ordinary" University and study an "ordinary" course?
Makes no sense at all.
