Lol, i have dragged many nets administered by dragnet (Sarcastically speaking), literally i have written tons of dragnet tests, right from my undergraduate scholarship days down to recently. Trust me it never gets easier.

Dragnet questions aren't that tough per se, their testing method just has many factors that question their willingness to even give candidates a fair attempt at the chosen form of assessment.
Yes people still scale through, but then, everyone ain't super-fast or brainy. A lot of folks have potential and are employable, they can do much better than these tests.
Dragnet making these tests super tough to meet client specifications (The recruiting companies) is killing whatever little hope these folks have.
At the sight of dragnet in an assessment mail invite, some people now just lose hope even before the assessment itself.

1-The timing for these tests are crazy, before you even read some voluminous verbal questions, or use the uncommon shortcuts, your time is speed-breathing its last.

2-The calculation given to you needs more time than you're availed, sometimes a lot of candidates know how to attempt these questions, but for the speed and volume of calculation involved, you'd rather zap through and answer all questions than commit the little time to answering just a few you conveniently can solve under considerable timing.
In some cases you end up solving the question, getting an answer, only to hold onto your mouse for that one click, the system takes you to the next section #painful. (This usually happens towards the end of a particular section).

3- The Abstract reasoning is the most annoying part, the patterns are not easy to decipher within the little time frame given, or probably the sequence/patterns are too easy, we (candidates) are too busy looking above our noses.

The one that has to be addressed is the quality of image you're meant to decipher, the quality is something I would love them to take seriously. How can i figure out a pattern from tiny boxes with illegible tiny objects inside them, (i don't even have a medical optical condition, how much more an individual who suffers such) ?
KINDLY NOTICE ALL THREE SECTIONS DWELLED ON ONE MILESTONE; TIME.

I really do hope they see this and make improvements on their testing method.
If these reviews are adopted and considered in making improvements to Dragnets testing format, they'll gain more credibility and win the hearts of all major recruiting firms and candidates as well.


Ps: i am not saying Dragnet should sacrifice her standard of testing or make their tests easier, i am only pointing these facts out , leveraging on the downsides i experienced during their most recent tests; Exxon Mobil GT recruitment, NSE GT recruitment.

I could be wrong on my assertion and i am as well open to intelligent criticisms, but then i have said my bit, Politely.

#Gracias
