Hello.
Please how did your AC exercise go today?

Hi guy
Had my AC yesterday..
It is not something you can really prepare for, just focus your energy on learning how to answer case study question and sharpen your presentation skill, you will be fine...
The case study can come from any angle, so just be prepared.

You didn't write any aptitude test

I think this may be helpful for those that are yet to be assessed.
Best of luck to you all.

Possibly there will not be a stage. It will just be a room with 2 - 4 people (just like an official interview) where you are required to present (tell them):

1. what you believe are the underlying root causes of identified problems in the situation (case study) you read;
2. what possible actions that were wrongly taken and missing controls that may have prevented such problems to occur (what actions or decisions that supposed to have been taken or made);
3. corrective solutions to the identified problems as highlighted in 2 above (what should be done to reverse the effects of the wrong actions and decisions);
4. steps or actions that you are convinced of, that when taken, will prevent such problems or control lapses to occur in the future (your recommendations and suggestive solutions);
5. (if time permits) the current effects and future implications of the identified problems if your recommendations and suggestions are not urgently considered and implemented.

So, take the case study as your friends narrating his/her workplace problems to you. Though you have no opportunity to ask questions for clarifications, but assumptions are allowed and must be made known when presenting. You then asked him/her for time to get back to him/her, though you are limited in this case to minutes contained in the instructions. You should see the panel as group of friends to whom you're telling (noticed I used tell them earlier) your views on the situation and how best they should go about solving the problems, and also, things to do so as not to allow recurrent of such mistakes/errors/control lapses.

Google effective presentation skills and somehow try to
1. Practice presentations of similar things with friends two or more times,
2. Look above the panels eye level and prepare your mind to see them as your friends (you be amazed that you brain can condition your mind to do that),
3. Tell them, you don't need academic or intellectual show here (at least, assessment center, primarily is to evaluate skills and not knowlledge) you opinion of the situation at hand (the cause, solution to correct and prevent future occurrence).

They will ask you questions after your presentation. This is either to get information on some aspects of the case you missed out (attention to details) or get clarification on your recommendations or description of the case given. So don't panic, tell them if you know it and if not be honest to admit you don't commit the details to heart (most times, this always relates to figures and numbers). But at least, immediately and the word BUT after acknowledging that and tell them brief about it a short and simple sentence. For example, I sincerely do not commit the actual number to heart, BUT. I observed that the GDP have been increasing from quarter to quarter with less than 1%.

Skills to be test for personal (individual presentations) are innovative thinking, problems analysis and problems solving skills, attention to details.

For group work, make sure you at least contribute to the discussions. This assessment is just to identify some (dominant) personality traits that you have. Are you a introvert or extrovert?
Reserved or domineering? These may determine where you may be deployed to if eventually you are successful, whether front office, middle office or back office.

Summary, be yourself and don't be too academic. They are not assessing your academic intelligence, this has already been done with the first two stages.

Hope these help? Thank you.

Is it safe to assume those from Abuja are yet to be contacted for the AC, hence, should keep their hopes alive?

I just got my mail today for AC in abuja so guys check your mails or be patient. They have started sending for abuja

So those that had ac, is it only personal presentation?

A friend of mine didn't put Abuja as his address but he will be having his AC in Abuja
