This Snapnet guys fumbled o. Giving people that did first undue advantage by setting past questions online word for word and from gmat without any changes. Can't
they set like SHL or how WAEC did during Nlng graduate trainee where u can't cram.

Most people that will pass and score high are
those who crammed the question source from d info they got thereby make d cut off high. How
is this test of knowledge?

I hope that there will be another stage called
Skill test about your field. If that is the case, cut
off of this test will be lowered. Note that cut off
is dependent on your state and position u applied.

I hope dragnet set the skill test questions not this guys who will just copy online. Everyone of the same field and category should write same time.

If there is no next stage of skill test and interview follows, then d DPR will be in soup
in d future.
First people or last people undecided

Calling someone a loser coz the person aired a valid truth is out of place.

And to those giving out their questions calling it 'PQ', continue, only u will know how u feel when others that did after you are called for next stage while you were not.

But again, what do I know.

Que Sera Sera smiley

Just finished my test. Snapnet is the worst vendor ever. The questions and options for fill-in-the-gap questions were constructed badly. It got to a point that I was wondering if the questions were set by an illiterate sad... How I wish Dragnet had conducted the test.
Dragnet ke!! cheesy, dis ones peeps were still able to get over half of the questions, na lamentations(not bible chapter o cheesy) we for they read here for nairaland if dragnet had set the questions.

Was scheduled for 11 am today but wrote before the appointed time.
The questions were ok apart from the maths.
Mine was 5 sections and only one section was maths and the rest was English.
The English was cool and far better than the maths.
My questions were not the same with they questions posted here.
The main thing is for you to get the idea and try to apply it. So no need for you to cram questions posted on nairaland here.
From my own experience, I will say you should try and answer the English part first, then jump to the number sequence/series and then the profit n loss percentage because time is not your friend and dwelling more profit n loss will only waste your time and prevent you from meeting up.
The verbal is more and you can easily decipher them. I had like 11 mins to revise my work.
The number sequence/series is easy compared to percentage loss and percentage gained.
Sequence & series is a section and profit & loss is another section which makes it two maths sections.

BROS NA MERE FORMALITY, an dangote refinery open my eyes,paper written tests,and our profile changed form approved to declined that same test night.The senators and ministers and friends of the presidency don keep the jobs for their wards. this process is just to ward off any legal actions against recruitment discrepancies. my 2 cents.
I am not trying to gainsay what u said, I still believe some/few people would still get it on merit. As with the dangote refinery, I know a few peeps who got it on merit. It's just that federal govt. recruitment have lost their credibility as shown by the recently concluded federal ministry recruitment.

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
Although uR answer is right, but the real solution is:
Make Ellen sales be X
Therefore Ellen = X sales
Andy = 2X
Bob = x + 3 sales (3 more than Ellen)
Cary = 2 (X + 3) =2X + 6 sales
Dora = (X + 3) + X = 2x + 3 sales

Please show working
1/2cup of spinach = 80 calories
Therefore 1 cup = 160 calories

1/2 cup of peas = 300 calories
1 cup = 600calories
2/3 cups therefore contains; 2/3 X 600 = 400calories.

Since one cup of spinach = 160calories
Then x no of cups to equal 400 calories is: 400/160 = 5/2 cups of spinach

What is the meaning of this DPR? I applied and was shortlisted, but I need to know the meaning. Some persons told me it is the name of your father that hawks sachet water along Lagos/Ibadan Express-way. How true is this?

AlwaysUltraPad:
you converted litre to gallon, this I understand. How did you know it's the imperial gallon or US that the question referred?
I believe the questioner got the question from a link that was posted here and from the options that were given, the closest option to our answers is 867gallons, hence, I used the US conversion.

Pls can we brain storm on dis question: What is the total capacity in gallons of a rectangular tank 5 metersin height knowing that it will hold 200 liters per foot
Ans = 865.92gallons

1m = 3.28ft, 5m = 5 X 3.28 = 16.4ft
Total capacity in litres = 16.4 X 200 = 3280L
1 gallon = 3.79L
Then, 3280L to gallons: 3280/3.79 = 865.92gallons

Hi Shams. Please how did you go about this? I need a change in location. Thank you
Then, it was DPR system that was doing that...Now, I think everybody approved is fixed with a test date. I don't know if it's possible to change your test date and/or time. Regards.

From the difference in time between batches per day, it seems the test will span for one hour or a little more than that....Typical dragnet's test takes around that time too

Thank God I can finally have my sanity back, I don't have to keep refreshing my mail every now and then.

Hi,
Many thanks for making time to reach out to us here.
Please kindly confirm in plain English once more that we can pick a course from the drop down of options in section 2 that we're most comfortable with.
Reason being that some of us are rethinking the initial choice we made at the point of application.
Thanks again
Hello, I would advice u to do the test based on the initial course you submitted. I did what u r thinking of last year and it didn't work out. I eagerly applied for petroleum engineering last year without proper consultation to know that I would be answering questions on pet. Engrn. Then, I knew close to nothing about pet. Engrn and so on the test day I developed cold feet and I answered questions on renewable energy because a friend of mine who did his' before me told me I would be able to answer the questions well. It turned out to be true coz the questions were relatively simple. Sadly, I wasn't shortlisted for the awards but my friend got the award. I feel this was because he chose energy systems engineering as his course of study which was related to the test he did and mine wasn't at all.
My take is this, make sure the test option you will choose is strongly related to the course you applied for. Last year, there was no question on pet. Engr so ptdf would be expecting u to choose the reservoir engineering option. Secondly, I believe if u get the award, u can change your course and university of study because some people who have already applied for a particular course would not get admitted.
So read and read very well...Success to us all.

Just saw ds on their twitter handle.A minimum of 4 yrs experience!!! I am sure ds shld answer our questions
It's quite obvious that the person handling shell Nigeria twitter handle don't really know about this recruitment...From @Drnice's snapshots and this nowhuh? If at all the four years experience is included, then it should be a maximum of four years and not a minimum of four years coz of graduates btw 2014 and 2016 that also applied.
Let's just free their twitter handle for now and see how things will unfold later...wishing everybody success..

Hello, while I respect your opinion, I am however surprised at your view.
One would have expected a better comprehension from an applicant at this stage. (no pun intended)

1. I am taking aback to hear you say the out of pocket stipend is ridiculous, maybe you have confused per diem for this stipend. (oga, your leaving expenses is.been catered for already) The letter explicitly mentioned that accommodation, feeding and local conveyance would be on the sponsoring company. Your stipend is for out of pocket expenses only (you are not on a shopping spree).
Let me digress a lil, TOTAL is a thousand times bigger than Dangote, it's last batch of trainee were paid 80k/month for almost a year while interning at ogere, convert that to USD and let's talk about Industry market rate. SHELL would be sending some Nigerians to the UK for rotor tug ship handling for tandem operations, how much is their stipend?
Payment after training is always different and much better. And yes, it's a favour to work there, you are not better off than others who didnt scale through. Think about the better you after a year of intensive training for free rather than quitting your accommodation.

2. Your time line would be issued at companys' discretion, not at your time.

3. Selection letter cannot equal employment offer, the clause in the email body spells this out completely. You all are still subject to having positive medical result. Meaning no confirmation of offer yet. (this should not be explained to an applicant at this stage)

4. Have you confirmed your destination to be India yet? And for the 'conventional practice', Oga, there is nothing of such cast upon stones to be followed.
As well, no company pays anybody money to send to dependents at home. You would only send money home from whatever you signed up for At your own discretion. The company cannot factor this into HR policy, not everyone has dependents, this is not the salvation army.
Your income is only a means to an end, not the end itself.

I have friends who turned the offer down, you could do same. No need to rebel, it is an offer and you were asked to accept Or decline hence your feedback was requested (perhaps the 'observation' word used in the letter confused you. It's just an official way of asking for acceptance / declination to progress on this occasion so someone else can be filled in or otherwise.

P.S . I am not in this recruitment process and forgive any typo, I am not a n English girl.

I hope you scale through completely.
Goodluck and warm regards.


For other hopefuls, please eat well, sleep well, read more books, listen to good music, relax enough and put energy into other things. What will be would be. Cheers
Deepwater I dey suspect u too o. It seems like u wine and dine with dangote's Hr crew to say the least. However, thanks for the clarification and the positive thoughts to us hopefuls.
