If u fail to hit submit before u ran outa time, no need to be alarmed. Your answers were safely submitted

Hussar:
It's so unfortunate that u can talk in this manner. Maybe u are the 'deluded, confused or lazy person here'. Y will a serious minded person rely on just one past question? The fact that people are sourcing for more past questions does not mean that they are deluded as u mentioned. Moreover, how is it a business of urs to comment on that, after all, the questions were not requested from u.

@Titiluvly, thanks a lot. I really appreciate ur kind gesture. The questions were helpful.

madam u might do well to peruse the comment again, pay particular attention to the first line and look for a phrase similar to "till now". You might also want to check the date the comment was made.
If u are still confused after this little illustration, you can ask for further clarification.

I am glad u wrote well.

teevyne:
You could go back? How

Just above the questions, u will see buttons for SECTION A to SECTION E (in no particular order). Clicking on any of those sections will show you the questions in the section. You can proceed with making any necessary corrections u wish to make

omolizzy:
Very good reply,as if he will be doing you a great favor by sending him a PM......shioor

lol.. my dear I tire for the guy oo

Abeg inbox me let's rob minds at gosureboy@gmail.com

I have written. What do I need to rub mind for?

Just through with the test... there is really nothing to be bothered or scared about. The test was easier than thought to God's Glory.

Alot have already been said so I don't know if there is anything new I can add.. Just be quick and accurate; don't dwell so much on a question as you can always come back to the section.

Good luck to those yet to write

Mitocyan:
Can someone slated for 2pm be allowed to write by 8am?

YES. It was allowed in ph centre, don't know about other centres sha

suffye:
ACE International Center 1, Location Road , Bye Tap Bus Stop KM 17, PH/ABA Express Way, Inebe,Port-harcourt
Guys pls how do i get to this venue from Owerri? Pls i need directions ASAP. Thanks in advance

Get to ITC park along MCC road. Board a bus to ph city and stop at Airforce. Cross over to the other side of the road and enter another bus going to Obigbo and then stop at Tap bus stop. Pick a bike from there to ACE.

Geometric and Arithmetic mean

PrinceAlPacino:
Thanks.
The date of the invite was on the mail. Is it the mail you mean or the 'photocard' (DPR Profile page)?

I think I will print the mail and head there on Friday.

If you haven't printed it before now, then whatever u print tomorrow will bear 24th july and NOT 28th july..

Going on Friday with a printout bearing 24th July is actually ridiculous u will agree

AlwaysUltraPad:
you're too armed to suspect or play to any suspicion at this 11th hour. The good news is that, it's basic math...you can sip that like fura . Don't go to this war where you'll battle mosquito with armoured tanks. Go easy. All the best!

Very well bro.. but I don't just decipher how GT and EH, irrespective of the job applied to, will be writing thesame basic mathematics and English!

PrinceAlPacino:
Good Evening All,
Please I logged onto my Profile this evening only to find out that my examination date has been changed from Friday, July 28, 2017 to
Monday, July 24, 2017. Meanwhile, I did not receive any mail notifying me of the change of date.
Please I need clarifications as I am astonished by this finding.
I was supposed to write in Port Harcourt on Friday, July 28, 2017.

Thanks.

At the Port Harcourt centre, they didn't seem to follow the time. Meaning some persons scheduled for 12pm wrote by 9am; but there must be proof that u were invited for the test in the first place by way of showing the print out.

This is my advice: if you have already printed the invites indicating that you are scheduled to write in Friday, then just bone and go on that Friday pretending you know nothing about the change of date.
But if u don't already have that printout indicating friday, then I don't know how to advice u on that one. You could still print the new date and try going tomorrow. Shalom

I am beginning to suspect this test oo

I am writing tomorrow but I came to familiarise myself with the ph venue...

On the ACE billboard is written "DRAGNET SOLUTIONS LIMITED"... but from people's testimonies, the questions doesn't look like dragnet though

tobiscous:
Am sorry to say this.
You are a dumb fellow.
U want someone under exam tension to count number of maths...

After saying sorry, you still fall bomb ontop the young man...

blessedmumi:
Not true! Some Engineers wrote today as well.

well unless they tell us otherwise, it's possible they didn't answer thesame questions or thesame question strength like other job roles

Hehe... the mathematics for engineering and science candidates will be manufactured from Jupiter.

I hope they don't stun us with abstract or psychometric reasoning.

Watch out for this space

For those that wrote today and saw only mathematics and English, pls I am not asking for expo just a simple question I need u guys to answer...

What role did you apply for?

obajoey:
Guy, I just saw on another thread where someone was confirming to what that guy said.
Take his words and add to whatever you have got.

Taking his words was exactly what I did. I dumped GMAT briefly for SHL.
But if the test happens to be GMAT finally; I will fall potopoto on that guy for making me dump GMAT

AlwaysUltraPad:
your moniker is what my university friends call me. But I hate your post to the bone.

Your date changed and you still want to stick with 29th. It shows you're not serious. You're in aba and PH is in your backyard, but this how poor you could reason to handle the situation.

I'm sure you'll abandon the exam if you're in Lagos and just found out about the change date.

If you like, go on 40th.

This is how God works; those who are serious were either rejected or put on pending, and some unserious ones were approved

Epic response!!!

What got me LMAO was when I saw "Anyone else with this challenge"? Mhen I just shook my head and continued LMAO

iminabo:
Answers please

Questions 61 and 62 though...

rychard:
I just pity people jacking GMAT anyhow, when one single question won't even come from there. The experience SAN (senior applicants of Nigeria) know better. I used to be a member so lemme share some secrets with you all.. Since I've never failed a single test first stage all my career (not bragging), it may come handy.
First, know the recruiting agency , lol... This agency from every description is Dragnet, do they set core GMAT questions?.. Nopes, what they do more is SHL,
verbal, numerical, psychometric, and simulations. A resource to help you prepare for dragnet tests are- HR Avatar and Assessmentday.co.uK . study their sample practice questions.

Second, know your role, dragnet, and many other agencies align their questions around the role, engineering and computer science functions require more numerical and psychometric testing than other fields, environmentalist will get more verbal and numerical reasoning (more graphic illustrations) As a little tip, the link for each role is mapped to your login details, so your field is already tied to the bucket that your question is picked from.

Time is of the essence, you have an average of 45 secs on each question, .. Its not by solving the questions, its by solving it with the most effective approach... Here another ,tip, computer based test are adaptive, which means they present the next question based on how you answer the first, as a general rule, the question are likely to get tougher as u successfully answer previous ones, so if you find yourself getting cheaper questions, you're on the wrong path, also ..some questions are deliberately made to slow you down, they take longer time to answer than others, (you must learn to guess this answer and move on) , not all question carry scores, some are used to test your strength for the next question.

If there's a personality test at the end of the other test, don't fail it...those questions that test your personality, are often the most vital, get them wrong and no matter how well you do in the numerical/verbal crap, you won't be called.. Here's a tip, relevance to the role and consistently is all u need to pass a personality test. So once you approach the first question, get a paper and draw a table, for each question find out what it tests for in your personality , if its leadership, decide if its a quality required very well for the role, then give a score for it.. Anytime u come across another leadership question always use that score .. Do the same for other qualities you identify in the questions.

Other hacks,
when you get to test hall, collect used rough sheet of people who just left their seats or finish their test. Study it, well, before u log in. It preps your mind and you're likely going to get an idea on some possible questions.

If the test allows you to go back to finish previous questions. Then it means the questions are more than the time allows by deliberate design.. And the harder questions are most likely placed in the first 10 questions, you must leave the harder questions and breeze through the easier ones first. Then return to complete the hard ones (by then, you have more confidence and have warmed up your brain).

When answering verbal or numerical questions (with graphs or tables). You're likely to use same essay to answer two or more questions, or have questions from same graph or table. So understand the table first, before u answer, so when u come across it. Use the understanding to answer other questions.

Chai, plenty more to say, but I don tire to type.. Quote me I go answer.

Well said bro. I particularly like your introduction.

A few reservations/observations:
1. You said from every indication, the testing agency is dragnet. On what premise have u based this conclusion? Kindly enunciate.

2. You said there is an average of 45 seconds to each question. How would you know this?

3. I disagree with u saying if one find oneself getting cheaper questions then one is on the wrong track. I wrote GSK test a few years back (yes SHL), I practically answered the later part of the questions in half the time I answered the former; that was because they became so cheap that it became boring (well I guess u understand the figure of speech). My point is, getting harder questions doesn't mean one is on the right track either.

4. I agree with ur tips on the personality test. I advice everyone to go study the job recruitment for the role applied to. That should help with maneuvering the personality test.

5. Finally, that ur hacking tips make sense. I will gather as many rough paper as I can get and study. Thank God I will write by 9:30..

Thanks for the tips though. God bless

Mark my words bro....

I don't have to mark your words bro, it is well spelt out in my Bible. And of course without the lord involved, man's every efforts are in futility.

But the lord also commanded us to seek wisdom, and in all things to seek understanding!

Unless you have a personal vendetta against me, there is absolutely nothing wrong in that comment.

Wishing you the very best

Emaimo:
There are five sales agents in a certain real estate office. One month Andy sold twice as many properties as Ellen, Bob sold 3 more than Ellen, Cary sold twice as many as Bob, and Dora sold as many as Bob and Ellen together. Who sold the most properties that month?
(A) Andy
(B) Bob
(C) Cary
(D) Dora
(E) Ellen

Please someone should help a brother with the solution

Cary sold more.

Solution:
Make Ellen sales be X
Therefore Ellen = X sales
Andy = 2X
Bob = 3X sales
Cary = 2 * 3X = 6X sales
Dora = 3X + X = 4X sales

No one seemed to have applied for this job. I guess the essay part scared the shit out of most applicants!

BOJO123:
can I still make it to the test.... if I should take a night bus going to PH from Lagos this night?... my test is by 8am

how many of us here have the power to decide the fate of the bus, or the road, or other eventualities??

if entering night bus is the surest means of getting to the test centre tomorrow, then by all means do!

DMainMan:
@all. Are experience hire going to write gmat or their expatriate course?

Don't know what to read.

DMainMan.... I sight u bro

you might not know me due to my new id, but we are quite familiar with eachother from the NLNG thread

Zahrudin:
Ar u sure the question is complete

Very complete sire

GMAT just got interesting. Check out this Quantitative reasoning...

Positive integer y is 50 percent of 50 percent of
positive integer x, and y percent of x equals 100.
What is the value of x ?

kkash:
im hovering arnd 50-60 tho....my plan z to confront it wen im done wit odas.....since dats my major problem.....

it would come as a surprise if questions were to be set on critical reasoning though... under intense exam condition, it might even take 5 minutes to understand the writeup and question, then another 5 minutes to answer.
