Roughly hw many weeks or days 2 reg? Gudmrnin fellas

[quote author=kevoh]Nope. The exam will be about the language only.

You are asked Biochem stuff only when you are taught Biochem stuff which of course is when you start your main course of study after the language year.[/quote. Kk tnx]

kevoh: Please be wary of things that will give you translation wahala. Some host countries might run a different education system different from the typical British method Nigeria is used to.

You will get to meet people who are not exposed when you return to Nigeria and start doing stuffs like applying for jobs, NYSC e.t.c I had a hell lot of time convincing the man at NYSC HQ that my Maitrise is an equivalent to a Bsc ,though when translated it means Master's degree, and he kept on asking for my Bachelor's degree certificate.

. Oga kevoh considerin d exams written afta d linguistic classes,I knw M nt in positn 2 ask dat naw bt jst wnt 2 knw,is it related 2 d field u ar goin 2 study? Asin if u ar 2 study biochem den d exams will comprise of biology,chemistry etc

quantum physics: The test is set in the format,
-Maths (mainly logic)=>20 quest.
-English lang. (Mainly lexis and structure)=> 20 quest.
- General paper ( Current Affairs)=> 20 quest.
-Total=> 60 quest.
-Total time=> 30 mins.
Meaning 1/2 min (30 sec) per question, so speed an accuracy are highly important.
-Secondly, your geo-political zone matters because FSB wants to be impartial, all zones are picked, so the more the applicants in your zone, the harder it gets.

. Mr quantum I tot d selectns ar bin done lyk 2 persons 4rm each state or is it zonally?

kevoh: Lol, I'm back already. I've been in Nigeria almost 5 to 6 years now.Done my NYSC, got a job and planning to get married,lol.

Do you mean to say you don't want to return when you're done with your studies? Well it's up to you.Almost all of my colleagues are doing well(my set), Some are doing extremely well working in Schlumberger, Chevron, SEC(security exchange commission) e.t.c others are doing ok they might not be in big organisations but they got jobs which is the most important.

Please, don't let me derail the purpose of this thread. Right now it should be all about passing the aptitude test or getting the complete documents. That is why I said I will give out some info around September/October whe you guys have been selected.

. Happy 4 u Oga KEVOH,wit God on our syd w'll b der AMEN!!!

quantum physics: unfortunately, i'm not applying this year, i'm still 17, thanks for your advice though.
One more question, "Do you plan coming back to Nigeria.

. So Quantum physic,u said u ar 17 bt really confused on hw u got 2 knw abt all dis.I mean u speak lyk a beneficiary already

kevoh: You are most welcome, quantum physics. Please, you people should focus on passing the aptitude test and interview(if any), don't get carried away by the mention of $500 and any other money you will be collecting. There are going to be a lot of rumours and hearsays flying around. Just focus on passing and getting to the next stage.

@ysamo
When you get there, try to apply for summer internships when possible. That is the route to practical experience and boosting your CV.

. Hmmm9ce idea@oga KEVOH,wit God almighty all tins ar possible.Really appreciate d lyks of U nd quantum 2 b sincere pple lyk u both ar RARE.

quantum physics: -Cuba
-Ukraine
-Russia
HOPE ITS NOT GCE
The test comprises; Maths, English, General paper, the questions are simple but very psychological, familiarize yourself with GMAT, GRE, TOEFL, and current affairs.

. Bro whc is TOEFL again? Does it concrns us goin 4 engi?

quantum physics: chemical eng. Is a faboulous idea, our oyel companies like foreign degrees, plus you'll practical international experience.

. tnx bro 4 bringin me 2 a conclusn as regrds my course of study actually I received dis same advice 4rm som1 bt wnted 2 b sure

. tnx bro 4 bringin me 2 a conclusn as regrds my course of study actually I received dis same advice 4rm som1 bt wnted 2 b sure*smiles*

kevoh: I applied for electrical engineering. Out of the three choices for countries I selected none was given to me, That's Russia, Greece and Spain. Yes in my time we had Spain. I think only one applicant got Spain. Russia was a battle as a lot of people wanted it.

I got a francophone country instead and I'm grateful for that. I Speak French now, that's one of the advantages of this scholarship you get to learn the official language of your host country.

I'm not in tune with how selections are being done this days but there's no need for 'desperation', just be calm and focus on succeeding each stage FSB puts out to you. That's the most important thing.

I'll bring out some other important points but that's later in the year around September/October insha allah, when you guys are good to go.

. Tnx bro M grateful 4 dat. Wnt u 2 help me on dis:contemplatin weda 2 go 4 biochem or chemical engin wit my waec result,whc do u tink will b best?

kevoh: Though I had 5 B's but in my time I didn't think there were much stress on the distinctions. You guys are lucky, I heard the monthly stipend has been increased to $500 per month during my time it was $300 dollars lol. We na Old skool .

The stipend wasn't regular, it could be late by 5 - 6 months so be ready to spend wisely as there might be tough times but don't worry the money would still come and you get paid what you are owed. My host country also paid us a certain amount monthly about $100.

Anyway, good luck to the best of applicants,when you get to your chosen countries please make sure you make us (old school) and Nigeria proud. Don't get carried away by parties and boyfriend/girlfriend matter.

. 9ce1 bro.pls jst wnt 2 ask,wen u registered urs whc course did u applied,country nd poSsibly year tnx bro as dis answer will help som1 desperately

quantum physics: Ukraine would be your best bet.

. bro any reason 4 suggestin ukraine?

elgaitan: Pls brodas n sistas in da house i av 3a's and 5b's am i gud 2 go and i wud like 2 study Economics

. Bro I tink if I'm given d go ahead 4 2A's nd 6B's urs will nt b an xceptn. Goodluk 2 us*smiles*

quantum physics: 100% good, whats your course of study and state of origin.

. I will lyk 2 study BIOCHEMISTRY 4rm benue state

Tnx bro for bringin up such an initiative. An aspirant wit 2A's 6B's,waec 2011.am I gud 2 go?
