Can you get all your documents to apply for the scholarship already in place? e.g transcript, abstract of your masters dissertation and proposal? if yes then submit all that

ExpertNLer:
Yes. If you have an MSc from a local institution you can still apply for an overseas MSc. or you can apply for PhD

One beautiful tip from Imag 5 a nairalander that has always been of help.. To build your speed, especially on the verbal reasoning(though for SHL but also applicable to dragnet.)

I maybe sharing tips /trick on numerical aspect.




have written SHL test four times and I passed
three times. The one I actually think I failed was
the first one (which I didn't just see the result)
To get their Verbal reasoning (also Dragnet's),
train yourself on how to extract information from
a very short passage without necessarily having
to read through the passage.
The way I do it is simple:
(1) I read the question first.
(2) Pick the key word in the question.
(3) Quickly search for the keyword in the
passage.
(4) Read the sentence that contains the key
word. Try to understand the sentence at one
reading.
Look, after writing the tests, I could not narrate
any story in any of the passages. That proved to
me that I wasn't really reading the passages.
On the numerical,
(1) Quickly study the Chart(s). Identifying the
Title, x-axis and y-axis (this is very important). If
you do not do this, you will always be confused
on which chart to use, or the information the
chart is giving. Trust me this will waste a lot of
your time. The moment you are familiar with the
charts, no question related to the chart will take
you up to 15 seconds to tackle.
(2) Read the question and identify which chart to
use. If the chart is already specified for you, go
to the next step.
(3) Note (in your mind) what is required. Mind
you, hardly will you see a staight-forward
question. You will need to know how to use your
percentage very well and very fast, utilising all
short cuts available to you. For example, if an
item is reduced by 5% and you are asked to get
the current value, you don't have to be doing all
the plus and minus there. Just multiply original
value by 95%; if it was increased by 5%, multiply
original by 105%.
- Know multiples of 2, 5 and 10 very well, such
that you can handle them without calculator.
- If you are asked to bring calculator, used a
good scientific calculator.
- If they provide ordinary (simple) calculator for
you (not scientific) minimise rate of using it
because it waste so much time. Your head works
faster than simple calculator, believe me.
- If it is online and you are asked to use
calculator inside the PC; you have got a
leverage. This is the best calculator I have ever
used, especially if the OS is windows 7. Just
Open the calculator and convert it to sciencific,
and check 'History' (Click on 'View
menu'>'Scientific', Click on 'Edit menu'>'History').
Do not close the calculator until you finish the
entire test. This will help you to go back to
previous calculations and still use them or view
their answers.
(4) Answer the less verbose questions first. It
takes time to even read the questions; therefore,
avoid read and jump. Any question that is more
than three lines shoud be jump and be tackled
later.
(5) Learn how to combine two information
coming from two different charts. Most of the
questions are designed in that form.
