Please those invited for this test come in and share tips as the exam comes up tomorrow 24th of feb. Just for record purposes.

Alot of people are already getting tired of taking The dragnet test in general. But i guess this is a purely Engineering opening and deserves a best shot.

Btw who knows the firm dragnet is recruiting for.

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.

For the who took the frieslandcampina test last week i guess the stress was less because it was a repetition. Success to all.

I think this info is false if it is for this opening, because if it is the case dragnet would have sent regret mails to the unsuccessful candidates. It interval hardly exceeds 3days. I may be wrong tho and a counter proof will help settle things.

Sorry for the delayed response, I have been a little busy of late and the post was basically because of that exam. I will drop other tips as soon as it's possible.
Meanwhile credits for the previous tip goes to the NLder i mentioned on that post.

Assessment center is a stage in the recruitment process usually employed by the host firm(At this stage you should know the firm you are applying to, because it usually test how your behaviour aligns with their core values), to check ones behavioural competence as it aligns to their core values.
It is usually followed by a final interview with top managers of the firm.


And until you get a regret mail from dragnet never loose hope.

Congrat in advance to all Engrs who will finally make it to the coy.

If I had not seen the email , I wouldn't have posted that I was 100% sure, I wish you all the best Sir

If we are talking about same company that had this same exam at different location in Nigeria then i still would love to maintain my claims sir.
But since you saw the invite, and seeing is believing, then you must have known the coy they are recruiting for. And in that case i admit i was wrong.

This moniker seems familiar from that Seplat thread btw. Hope seplat doesn't find out you took both their exams and that of a similar coy same day... Lolz.

Ps: I couldn't take the test for the Exploration Company because i had other Engagement same day at work. but a colleagues who did said it was a repetition of what we did at Frislandcaprina the week to the exam....... As for my source, i may be wrong

Success to all on the AC

I have written Dragnet tests before. Both for scholarships and Jobs. And it takes long, upto 4 weeks b4 results comes out. But this one you guys are getting mail already, Congrats.

Fingers crossed
