I now remember why that testmi official advised me to write early, when I called him to confirm the time.

Lol. Interesting! So what happens to people Testmi scheduled for the next day due to errors?

slydog:
All these conjectures are bound to show up to cause an illusion when the list is eventually out. Let's forget scores, that stage has long gone. I think we should all just pray for mercy. This is no ordinary board, this is an A-list agency very similar to the NNPC, there are many bigshot interest on this board, someone mentioned that the SP got twenty slots, we don't know the slots given to chairmen of local content in both chambers of the house, we don't know how many were given to FCC members, presidency must have it's own slot, the minister of Petroleum no doubt has some.
Just pray and remember that not all will get it.

This is all that matters!
Thanks for clearly stating the obvious.

I did not bother to ask because I felt cheated after I confirmed that they were the same questions I answered during my test

ennyj01:


Oh wow, what did the person now score after writing for his brother?

Good question

I have explained this before. They used percentile. I don’t know the range of time used but let me give you an instance. If a candidate starts his exam at 9am and scores 40% if most people who wrote the exam within that period scored lower, he would have a high percentile and has a better chance than someone who wrote at 4pm, scored 60% while a lot of people within is time frame scored higher. The test was staggered, that was the only reasonable way to do it. From their graph it would have been very obvious the scores started to increase as time went on. If you had a low score and started late you chances are very slim but if you took yours early and scored low. Maybe just maybe you could get lucky with the other factors they would need to consider. Read up on percentile and how international standardized tests like GRE work. I hope I was able to make a point. Regards.

Now this makes sense.

When dealing with Nigerians at any level, it is not easy to come up with criteria to ensure fairness: Everybody think say na them wise pass

Kudos to Testmi

If they will use time as a factor then they must be unfair to those that started earlier and were unable to finish due to system error.

Even those people writing again was unfair to others..because with the first attempt they saw all the questions. For a smart candidate, the second attempt meant extra time.

Tell them my dear. Due to the castigation testmi suffered from the public, this time they will intend to get it right. And as they are not Jollof rice, they can’t please everyone doing so. Just take a step of faith and start preparing for interview.

I doubt they will be anything like those that wrote theirs during the early hours should be considered before others, exam was to be written within a stipulated range of time by the examiner (of course 14hrs time frame).
If i understand that carefully, writing at the 13th hour doesn't translate to writing late, still falls within the range. Fingers cross, let's pray we are in, enough of this naysay of #writing late.

There may be 14 different graphs, which will yield multiple data. Future statistical analysis will be carried out and viola!!!!! They will have a logic for what they will come up with. You should know that they will have data analyst working with them right?

Best Analysis: 2 email sent for the 30th January Test, the earlier one states 10-12 midnight, the last one state Just 10am. Everyone who wrote at 10am never got 75% (prove me wrong showing your score at 10:45am), their scores range from 20-60%. But Guys who wrote from afternoon till midnight got 60-90%. The selection will be balanced from both end. When the interview mail begins to fly, everyone will understand better.

Lies some wrote late and still scored low, especially the GT guys, you can refresh back to see yourself. Like i said fingers cross, at this stage rumours and naysay shouldn't be condoned. Let's pray we make it.
Not everyone wrote late just to cheat, some people were engaged that morning. Your stat that people that wrote early didn't score 70+ is also faulty. I doubt strongly a 10am 35% candidate will be picked over 70+ 1pm candidate using this analysis

Is this speculation or is it from a credible source?

Everyone should calm down and stop all this back and forth analysis. If you see invite for the next stage or not fine, they can't take all of us

cheifdaddy:
What happened now? Why was the Oil and Gas thread deleted?

still confuse about it

Is this how they want to justify sacrificing qualified candidates for mediocre ones?

Until there's a statement about this strange, dubious and sham of a recruitment process from the authorities themselves, then it's either another stunt aimed at distracting the public while they handpick their own mediocre candidates or a pure false and sensational information.

Or how else do you explain tricking people to comfort and then penalizing them for playing by the rules?

How can someone even suggest they would select the highest scores each hour?

It just can't be true or this will pass as the shadiest recruitment process of the decade.

Wahala for anybody when de believe anything anybody post for here...

They said this
They said that..
BIG LIE...


All you have to do is wait until SMS for the next stage starts rolling in. Until then, anything you hear is THEM SAY THEM SAY...

Exactly!
I like your choice of words there “tricking people to comfort and then penalising them for playing by the rules”.

They staggered the test and didn’t even bother to schedule the candidates by themselves (maybe in batches/time slots).....they made that completely discretional, and even emphasised it in several correspondences.

Feels like coming back to say “hey we are going to punish you for doing what we said”.

Didn’t it occur to them that some people might have advantage coz of timing when they scheduled it that way?
And hey, are we assuming that all those who wrote late cheated ? Or that all those who wrote earlier didn’t cheat at all? Keep in mind this was a virtual exam. Some people wrote with friends and relatives, even tho early (at least we are free to assume anything now, let’s keep assuming). So some people cheated, regardless of the time, and still had low scores. Some people saw the questions and still didn’t get up to 70%. But I’m sure some people wrote the test and legitimately scored 80% or more. Just Assuming that all those who wrote late cheated would be notably naive...... but that’s not even my business; it will be inexcusably unprofessional. Stick to the standard you preset. If people cheated, they enabled it. Get on with whatever you have.

It’s senseless to mark you down just because I feel you cheated. Well, no need to vent, I don’t want to believe it yet.

Una never tire to dey speculate? Everybody thinks they know how people will be selected. At least 3 people come every day with their assumptions and just end up adding unnecessary pages to this thread. As long as Testmi hasn't disclosed that info, please just keep your thoughts to yourself, and let's wait for updates from them.

You just end up stressing yourself for no reason because you assume what someone here has said doesn't seem "fair" to you

person wey get high score sef de pray not to talk about floating scores. Nigeria is a mystery country.

Oga say na floating scores �����

From a credible source..

The cut off mark is 70% and they are not using time sequence or percentile...

Selection is going to be based on the following criteria:
1. The average of your scores in both the first and second tests...eg. if you scored 70% in the first test and 50% in the second test your average would be 60%.

2. Federal Character .ie. each state would have their highest scores taken...eg. if d highest in delta is 50%, he would be selected for delta state, over someone from the same score in bauchi, because probably a lot of them scored above 70%

3. Discipline would also play a huge factor too...


Mails would start rolling in from the first week of March...


Thanks

Time: a beautiful, undoubted revealer

The second criterion has negated the 70% cut off mark then. Is better to put it that the cut off will base on each state performance. If the highest score is 50% in Oyo state, then there is tendency that a person with 45% will also be shortlisted.
May we all get favored in this recruitment.

Story story, left and right.

People with the real information never talk too much, blabbing up and down the thread. Mark that.

I trust only the information coming from Leks4sure here. Any other is bullsh*t

Proudly an observer still

Simply observing....

Exactly...the 70% cutoff is mainly for those states with high scoring candidates...


What my source refused to tell me was the number of candidates per state and also the cutoff for my own state...
