thanks,
you are blessed

Hmmm what positions are they recruiting for, i dont really see how statistical maths relates to creative jobs
seems most companies just go with any recruiting techniques

i got a text too, but mine is for 1st nov.
there must be a whole lot of applicants, coz the testin period is quite llong.

Guys,
I dont really have faith in this kind of test.The applicants are just too many.Imagine,fixing tests for sunday.Thats absurd.It'sjustlike the Guinness on-line test.Anyway, everyone has it'sopinion,for me,i was invited , but i am not going.

see u guys are having the opportunities and deciding if u are going or not. Well iam nt aware of such vacany so i didnt apply. And i dnt see anything wrong with someone that applied attending such test. Afterall them no dey arrest any person with police abi? Well wish u guys all the best. make una dey holla me too. I just have to be inline with u people.

Hey guys i heard some people wrote on 19th oct 2008 thats a saturday.Guys any hope of expo from y'all.
We gotta help one another.

@queen.make i no lie you,expo no go help.each batch has its seperate questions and the questions won't be a piece of cake that i can assure you of. Just be fast and don't expect questions from all those crazy GMAT otherwise you'd be very dissappointed. If you don't believe me, ask others who have done the test

quite agree with tundebabzy, the questions were not a piece of cake. u really have to be time conscious.
Mine was 15mins for 20 questions. quite brain tasking!!!!!

everyone is saying it is brain tasking,am saying 'please can anyone tell us at least an example of the brain tasking question?'

What city is the oldest in the world?

and what will be the answer to that?

and what happens to does that are writing thier text on sunday 26th oct 5.30pm dont u think that time is not fair and discouraging for those that leave very far?

@owen.try this:
SAW:CARPENTER
a. SCISSORS:TAILOR
b. SETHOSCOPE:DOCTOR
c. TYPEWRITER:TYPIST
d. BROOM:CLEANER
e. CAMERA:PHOTOGRAPHER

Tundebabby,you havent asked a question?i have my own time on the 1st of Nov and i need a clue of what it looks like.

Pick the option with the closest relationship to
SAW:CARPENTER
a. SCISSORS:TAILOR
b. SETHOSCOPE:DOCTOR
c. TYPEWRITER:TYPIST
d. BROOM:CLEANER
e. CAMERA:PHOTOGRAPHER
ubiaru,if this still does not look like a question to you then don't bother going for the test because what i posted was exactly one of the questions i was asked. there were like 5 more of this kind of question. And there are different questions for every single batch.

@tundebabzy
could the ans be A. coz that's the only one dats a skill or handcraft as the example given.
Quick question - was the maths difficult n require calc. was it te gmat mind or shl kinda maths. thx, pls reply

@ ubiaru
i'm surprised at ur question. dat kind of question ws even given in waec. so, i dnt get u.

@dove.Well thats one point of view. But if you think of it, they all follow a pattern of work tool to occupation which makes it all the more confusing. Your own choice of choosing based on it being vocational or not, well i don't know. You forgot that cleaner isn't exactly a white collar job or a vocational job either. Sha, i chose A also during the test not because its the only vacational job out of the list but because a saw is used to cut,so is the scissors. The rest aren't

Meanwhile, the maths is not all those crazy GMAT questions. You can call them basic maths like questions on triangles, proportions and stuff like that. Calculations can be easily done in your head. You won't need to write anything. hope my reply isnt too late

Tunde,
its ok.thanks alot.i didnt ming that.i get it.
